Need a Speaker?

If you need a speaker for your event, I provide custom presentations during which I will illustrate how handwriting can be used to identify a person involved in legal disputes; how people try to forge and alter written documents; as well as how to protect one’s signature from attempts of forgery.

If you have an idea of your own for a topic, let’s talk about it. The following are a few examples of popular presentations and topics:

  • Protect your Signature to Prevent Identity Theft: Learn practical tips while examining your own signature

My speaking fees are based on the location of the event, size of the audience, etc.  Please contact me to make arrangements.

Although the topic of crime is very serious, these presentations are intended to be entertaining and an informative introduction to what many find to be the fascinating profession of forensic document examination.
