This case involves a man who sought to purchase a brand new car at a local town dealership recommended to him by his neighbor. After discussing his criteria and potential options with an employee, he selected a car of his choice and moved on to signing the papers. The purchase contract involved in the sale of the car possessed a Lemon Law addendum which indicated that the car was used. The man does not remember ever signing the addendum and alleges it was fraudulently signed by the dealership.

Expert Witness Response E-069866
I have 7 years of experience in conducting handwriting comparisons. I have given a lecture on handwriting forensics at a convention hosted by a professional organization for writers and have reviewed many cases similar to this. There are a number of different techniques that I am able to employ to determine whether this document was indeed signed by the customer, or if it was altered at a later date by the dealership.
