I am a forensic document examiner and a certified forensic physician. Altered medical records are my particular interest, but I work in all areas of forged or altered documents, including altered numbers and disguised handwriting. My medical background is a unique asset in examination of handwriting of the elderly or the ill. I have over 35 years of medical and document examination experience and am Board Certified. I work throughout the US and internationally. I have ongoing research studies correlating peculiarities in handwriting and health issues.
