We provide specialized Forensic Handwriting Examination services to scientifically examine, compare, and evaluate questioned handwriting using established Forensic Document Examination methodologies. Our examination focuses on assessing individual writing characteristics, identifying significant similarities and differences, and evaluating whether the available evidence supports common or different authorship.
Handwriting examination involves a systematic assessment of features such as letter formation, stroke characteristics, writing slant, spacing, alignment, proportions, connecting strokes, line quality, writing rhythm, and natural variations in handwriting. These characteristics are evaluated collectively to distinguish significant writing features from variations that may arise due to writing conditions, age, health, or other influencing factors.

Our Examination Methodology
At Shashvathi Forensic Lab, each case begins with an assessment of the questioned document and the available known handwriting samples. Our examination involves a systematic comparison of significant writing characteristics, taking into account natural handwriting variation, the quality of the submitted material, and the sufficiency of the evidence.
