How graphology can help you select juries

Trial attorneys are always looking for edges and advantages to best represent their clients. This is evident from the beginning of the client/attorney relationship. It is more pronounced in major cases, where there is a danger of a long criminal sentence; or a multi million dollar civil trial.

Graphology can be used to your advantage to help eliminate jurors that would potentially favor opposing counsel. Sometimes, you may want a juror that is sympathetic, but other times; you want a more logical juror. If you have to present a complex, and factual case; then you may want to preempt the least intelligent jurors. All you need to do is let us know what character and personality traits you do not want to see on the jury; and we will be able to sift through these jurors for your preemptories.

We cannot prevent opposing counsel from using our service to find the best juror for their side of the case. We can only advise you to take advantage of this important tool, too; and help to best represent your clients.

All our clients are kept with the strictest confidentiality. We have the same confidentiality obligations to our clients as you do.

Graphology can help you analyze your witnesses to maximize your case

Have you ever had a witness blow up on the stand and literally ruin your case? Maybe not, but it does happen. We can help you prepare your case by determining the personality and character traits of your witnesses. How credible a witness appears is as important as how credible a witness really is.

There are people who come across well no matter what and others just don't. This is not about whether a witness is lying or not; but how they carry themselves.

Insecure and unconfident people can easily appear unbelievable no matter what. Strong willed and firm people have the ability to be believed; even under the most grueling cross examinations.

Some people stay well composed and others are prone to emotional reactions. Some people communicate their thoughts well and others don't. Some people are comfortable in a crowded room. While others are so shy and humble; they wilt in public.

All this shows up within their handwriting. We are able to answer these questions for you; so you will be able to best choose witnesses and strategies.

Is it possible to determine if a client or witness is lying?

Polygraph Graphology is rare but important facet of handwriting analysis. This specialty sub-field is used in the exact same manner as a lie detector test; but with one major difference. There are no legal intanglements with using graphology like with a polygraph test. The principles are exactly the same. A polygraph will hook electroids to the subject and test to see if there are any unusual reactions to the questions or the answers. These same reactions will also show up while they are writing about the incident; it shows up in their handwriting!

Expert graphologists like us can easily detect when the subject is lying.

Many clients will not agree to take a polygraph test, either because they are afraid of being caught; or afraid of the test itself. It is this latter fear which causes false negatives. In other words, the fear of the test alone can make innocent people appear as guilty.

Witnesses in cases, especially those that are willing to lie on the stand, are also reluctant to waive their rights and administer to a polygraph test.

However, they will have no problem in giving a handwritten sample of the incident. They cannot imagine that they are indeed taking a lie detector test; and therefore there are no worries about false results.

Here's how this works. First, I would like enough handwritten exemplars to determine the writer's natural variation. Then, have the person handwrite [either cursive or print, whatever is normal to them] in letter form, describing the incident in question. If the person lies about the incident; it will show up in the letter. My report details in which statements the lie occurred in.

From these results; you can best represent your client.
