Other Common Questions.
What is a handwriting expert or court document examiner?
Can Bart testify outside of California?
(Yes, Bart travels nationwide to testify and has been qualifed to testify 100% of the time he has appeared in court as an expert witness.)
How much do handwriting experts charge to render an opinion?
Most experts are retired government employees and charge about $1200 as a retainer before they even view the documents and begin the case. Bart and his HSI associates charge under $995 to get started.)
Why should I hire Bart Baggett, instead of another less qualified examiner?
Bart is the most recognized (famous) handwriting expert working in the USA. If credibility, accuracy, and integrity are important to your case, hire Bart. And, Bart has the rates as associates who have been working less than a year professionally. The only reason not to hire Bart is if your court date is on a date when Bart is already testifying in another case. He can't be two places at once.
What training does a handwriting expert have to have in order to testify in a court of law? That is a very long answer. The short answer is that an expert's qualifications are judged by the judge in each case. The long answer is that many working examiners are not qualified and shouldn't be taking cases, but do.
Can I just fax my document to you for a quick verbal opinion? Yes, Our fax nuumber is 818-849-6085. However, you must order the verbal opinion using our online shopping cart to get a verbal opinion. We do not render opinions of any documents without payment in advance. We will, however review documents to evaluate if the documents have the quality needed to be analyzed in our lab.
My case contains no originals, can you still render an opinion which will hold up in court? Yes. Bart testifies based on just copies on a regular basis.
Will Bart's opinion be accepted in a court of law? Of course, but an expert witness's testimony is never a guarantee the judge will rule in your favor. Documents are usually one piece of a much larger puzzle.
How much will it cost to have Bart Baggett himself come to court and testify in person? Does he travel outside California. (Yes. Often.)
All these questions and more can be answered by simply calling our office. Your first conversation will take place without a fee, so you can make sure you are hiring the right expert for the job.
