Tough Cases.Net provides the finest questioned document examinations available

Questioned document examination is the forensic science of discovering information regarding said document. This includes but is not limited to aging the paper, aging the ink, determining the writing instrument, matching inks, etc. The most common aspects include analyzing the handwriting and typewritten text for alteration or forgery. This is the area, we at Tough Cases.Net specialize in.

We are proud to be able to provide our clients with the finest document examinations available today. We specialize in handwritten and typewritten forgeries. Our skills enabled us to solve the greatest document examination case in history; the Whitechapel murders, better known as Jack the Ripper.

No one else has been able to solve the identity of Jack the Ripper. Chase proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the true identity of Jack the Ripper; and he did it single handedly.

Mr. Goodwin utilizes deductive reasoning from his legal and private investigative background to assist in his case work. The added element of deductive reasoning, and working "backwards" to solve mysteries like a detective; enabled Chase to develop an accurate theory of the Ripper case. His original theory developed in November of 2002 was proven perfectly accurate when he was able to conclusively match his prime suspect to the Ripper handwritings.

This case exemplifies our great reputation for finely detailed document examination and analysis. Mr. Goodwin was able to identify about 120 matching traits between the Ripper documents and those of the suspect; thus clearly proving his conclusions. Many of these matching traits were so inconspicuous that Mr. Goodwin had to enlarge portions of the documents and then using a magnifying glass, measured letter strokes and letter portions at 1/128" increments.

After solving the identify of Jack the Ripper; I have concentrated my efforts on joining the FBI's investigation of the infamous anthrax letter case; still unsolved since 2001. However, the Ripper case too was unsolved for 117 years before I solved it. I am confident in my abilities and hope to be able to solve this case soon.

We bring these same skills and fine detailed quality examinations to all of our cases. Determining the validity of a document is only as accurate as the professional ability to discover the most fine and miniscule details within the document. The Jack the Ripper report which solved the case exemplifies this finely detailed examination. We bring this same skill level and quality to all of our cases.

We are extremely credible and have the utmost integrity

Our credibility as a believable expert witness is predicated on our superior reputation. We solved the most unsolvable crime in history, utilizing our graphology and document examination skills. You cannot find a more credible witness to testify for court trial.

Our integrity is without reproach too. We only report conclusions based upon the facts of the case and the documents; not the wishes of individual parties. We will never allow ourselves to be comprised. Our goal is to provide expert document examination and handwriting analysis to uncover the truth in any case we are involved in.

My personal demeanor adds to my credibility and believability as an expert witness should the case go to trial. [Only a very small percentage of QDE cases actually do go to trial] I am confident, forceful, firm, and clear in my testimony and would utilize specially prepared exhibits for trial.

We prepare clear and concise exhibits for trial

In the rare instances, when the case does go to trial; I would prepare special exhibits of the report which would best be suited for the case. This would include large posters, interactive flip charts, and individually prepared reports and exhibits for the jurors themselves. They are designed to allow the jurors to make a valid judgement from the evidence presented.

It is my duty to not only inform the court of the material at hand, but also to educate the court on the points being covered.

Important note: Remember, the best document examiners have the best exhibits. It is the visual exhibits which prove the conclusions. These are the hard facts of the case. Photographs don't lie and they are worth a thousand words. Since the proof of the forgery is in the document itself; it is these clear exhibits disclosing the details of the forgery which carries the weight of the testimony. Therefore, these exhibits are of the utmost importance.

A good document examiner proves his case with these visual exhibits. Basically, the testimony just focuses on explaining these exhibits.

We review the case with your attorneys and legal team

If your case does go to trial; then it is imperative to review my testimony with your legal team. It is my duty to brief and inform them on the salient points of my testimony. Otherwise, my testimony may not be too coherent. I explain the theories of my conclusions, so your attorney will know the best manners in presenting my testimony.

I explain both the positive and negative aspects of my examination and testimony; and review the potential cross examination I expect. I can prepare a special Q and A for your attorney to cover both the salient points of my direct testimony; and the expected questions from opposing counsel under cross examination.

We offer handwriting analysis; identifying about 300 personality traits

Besides providing expert document examination; Tough Cases.Net also has an incredible reputation for analyzing handwriting, also known as graphology. Graphology is the science of determining personality and character traits from handwriting.

Handwriting analysis, graphology, is a science; it is a branch of psychology. This is a real and valid science based on accumulated data gathered through the scientific process and repeatedly tested over and over again for its validity.

There are over 300 different personality and character traits which can be identified by graphology. Everything from intelligence, motivation, stress, ability to act under pressure, hostility, creativity, maturity, stubborness, flexibility, friendliness, honesty, integrity, reliability, trustworthy, criminality, romantic compatibility, materialism, people skills, happiness, extroversion, emotional freedom and expressiveness, communication abilities, personal functionality, resourcefulness, and optimism; are amongst the 300 traits mentioned above.

Because there are so many different personality and character traits that can be analyzed by our graphologists; the applications are nearly endless. There are many different types of analysis available, and at different prices. We can do a directed analysis, designed to address specific questions regarding the subject.to a full and complete personality analysis.

Chase has analyzed thousands of samples of handwritings since becoming an expert in the field of graphology in 1988. He has analyzed handwriting samples with an incredible accuracy rate of 95%. It is estimated that graphology is 90% accurate, but Chase has had more success than that.

As an expert gestalt graphologist, Chase is able to analyze printed handwriting as well as cursive. The science of graphology transcends language, and Chase has successfully analyzed handwritten samples in French, Spanish, Italian, Thai, Portuguese, Arabic and even Sanskrit. All of the principles of handwriting still apply, whether the language is English or not. We can even analyze doodles, graffitti, and art; but handwriting samples enable us to identify more personality traits than other mediums.

There are several different specialty fields of graphology

Graphology can be further categorized by its micro fields; which concentrate on a specific application, such as employment, fraud and forgery, mental health, children, and personal and romantic relationships.

Employment Graphology is one of the most common functions of graphology. We are able to determine the abilities of potential employees and executives. We can determine functional intelligence, potential intelligence, project and goal aspirations, leadership qualities, self motivation, and people skills; amongst the many other qualities and traits that handwriting reveals.

Most of our clientele utilizing our employment graphology service ask us to determine the honesty, criminal tendencies, intelligence, motivation, and the reliability of the individual. These are just the general qualities that every potential employee should have.

Each job description creates certain specific personality and characteristic traits which are desireable or even necessary, and others that are not. Upon knowing these special traits; our reports identify those candidates which are best suited for that particular job position.

The most cost effective use of employment graphology is to eliminate the most unproductive and unreliable candidates from your company.

Sports Graphology specializes in matching up athletes for their best usages, and to determine their long term potential for professional sports. We help professional sports teams determine their draft pick selections in the fields of baseball, football, hockey, basketball, and even soccer.

There are many players with exceptional talent but lack the desire and motivation to use their talents to the fullest. Conversely, there are also players who lack the athletic ability but make up for this with their hard work ethics. These two dichotomies are easily discerned within their handwritings; one has high form level and the other one doesn't.

There is Progressive Graphology; which is a rare specialty field within the scope of graphology. Progressive Graphology analyzes the same subject or subjects across various time frames.

As a person grows and matures, so will their handwriting. It too will change. Noting the differences of these changes can give a very unique profile and insight into the personality.

The most common utilization for progressive graphology is to monitor the progress of mentally or emotionally ill individuals. This is an excellent tool for troubled children and teens, as we can predict the potential suicidal, abused, or homicidal child, and monitor their progress.

We can also perform Comparison Graphology. Comparison Graphology is used to compare two or more different individuals to determine how these people will interact with one another. This specialty field of graphology is used mostly for romantic couples and their compatibility. It is also used to determine the compatibility of potential business partners, roommates, and employment compatibility.

We provide expert Criminal Graphology, as we specialize in handwritings of the criminal. The original theory of Jack the Ripper which eventually proved 100% accurate; was based on both circumstantial evidence and our criminal handwriting analysis of known Ripper documents. Here, we utilize the handwriting samples to build a personality profile of the subject in order to help apprehend him or her. This type of specialty field is most useful in aiding the police with murder, rape, and suicidal cases.

Children's Graphologyis a growing field within graphology. Here it is useful to see what the child is telling us with their handwriting because they are unable at their age to tell us. I have analyzed child abuse, sexual abuse, depression, and suicidal tendencies in children. Graphology can help discover these problems, so that the child can receive proper and healthy care.

Parents can use graphology to better raise their children. Knowing a child's personality enables the parents to satisfy that child's needs without the child having to tell them. After all, the child does not even know its own needs yet. That is where graphology comes in, the information is in the child's writing; whether it is scribbling, doodling, print or cursive handwriting.

Once children reach adolescence; they start to reach a graphic maturity with their handwriting. At this stage, you can expect to see some individualized and creative formations taking shape in their handwriting as they reach out and break away from authority figures.

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.

The applications for this can be used to aid the police in criminal investigations where suspects decline the polygraph test, in civil cases, such as company embezzlement, and in romantic or business relationships.

Tough Cases.Net prepares lectures on children's and adolescents handwriitng

We are available to speak at schools and explain and promote children's graphology [explained above]. The goal is to make both parents and teachers aware of the valuable information they can receive from handwriting analysis, which they cannot attain from their own children.

Children and especially teenagers are reluctant to confide in their own parents. To be a better parent, one needs to know as much about their child as possible. Our lectures enable the parent and the teacher to gain insight into their children.

I teach them how to spot the danger signs of suicide, sexual child abuse, hostility, social problems such as withdrawal and depression, as well as brain learning orientation, vocational and career leanings.
