Forensic Services - On Site

A questioned document may be unavailable for submission to a forensic laboratory for a variety of reasons. As a result, many disputed documents are not subjected to any rigorous, analytical forensic examination that may potentially play an instrumental role in a particular case. As a full-service forensic document laboratory, Applied Forensics maintains an OnScene Examinations unit; a unique service where our examiners can perform a variety of scientific document examinations and analyses in the field when a disputed document cannot come to the lab. If you suspect that a document has been forged, is not genuine, or has undergone any form of manipulation or alteration, our staff of professional and efficient field examiners will conduct all necessary examinations on-site and/or thoroughly photograph and document evidence to be further examined and interpreted in the laboratory.
