Common Questions. FAQ


This page has an expanded F.A.Q. page which also includes a frequently asked telephone hotline for new clients.

https://handwritingexpertusa.com/faq.html

What is a handwriting expert or court document examiner?

Can Bart testify in any state in the USA?
(Yes, Bart travels nationwide to testify in person and frequently on zoom. Because he has offices in five cities, he has been qualified in over 20 of the 50 states and other countries, too. He has been qualified 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 a retainer based on an hourly fee. You have no way of knowing if they are taking 3 hours or 12 hours on your case. There are no credible experts that charge $300 or less. If you see that price, you are dealing with a rookie, and that person has not been to court 100 plus times. You are risking your case hiring a new person with prices too low or too little experience. If you see a price that low, run the other direction.
Prices vary widely based on the numbers of documents and the amount of forensic testing, photographs, and whether or not testimony will be required.

Why should I hire Bart Baggett, instead of another less qualified examiner?
Bart is the arguably 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. You have seen him regularly on CNN and the other major new outlets.

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 and we hope you do not hire them. Mr. Baggett is very qualified.

My case contains no originals, can you still render an opinion which will hold up in court? Yes. Bart can render an official opinion 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 and handwritten evidence are usually just a small piece of a much larger puzzle.

How much will it cost to have Bart Baggett himself come to court and testify in person? Bart's rates are clearly stated on the rate sheet. His court appearance fee is in line with the other experts across the nation. In order for him to come to court, you must have already retained and designated him so he has time to render the authentic opinion.


 

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 feel comfortable hiring Mr. Baggett and he is the best expert for your case.
