ROBERT RADLEY M.Sc., C.Chem., F.R.S.C., F.S.Soc. Dip., F.A.E, R.F.P. The Forensic Document Laboratory - A Forensic Science Practice Dealing Exclusively in the Forensic Examination of Signatures, Handwriting and the General Forensic Investigation of Documents as a Whole. The work undertaken relates not only to the forensic examination of signatures and documents involved in court proceedings but also incorporates investigative work relating to the authentication of signatures, identification of handwriting and other forensic document examinations. Such examinations can be undertaken at an early stage as an investigative tool in order to assist in presenting evidence as soon as possible. This may help in giving guidance to investigators by giving them information concerning sources of documents, identifying individuals involved in the production of documents, identifying common sources of documents etc. Assistance can also be given in assessing reports of other experts, commenting, supplementing and if necessary criticising the same so that instructing clients can appreciate better the significance of the evidence available. Mr Radley is always happy on an initial free of charge basis and without obligation, to briefly discuss the case with potential clients over the telephone and go through what materials and comparisons may be required for an examination. Suggestions may then be given for any other potential examinations with which this laboratory may be able to assist in order to extract the maximum evidence from the documents available. For a number of practical and ethical reasons, instruction is not accepted from private individuals but is accepted only directly from members of the legal profession, law enforcement agencies, investigators, banks, companies etc. Similarly, on receipt of copies of the relevant documentation, a free of charge estimate can be given, again without obligation. As well as Civil and Private casework, Legal Aid work is frequently undertaken with fee rates charged being within the Lord Chancellor's Department's guidelines. The areas of examination undertaken include:
Opinions can be offered either in report form (Section 9 Statement or CPR format) or merely in Letter of Advice form. Since the inception of the Practice over 30 years ago, considerable libraries of information covering a variety of topics have been amassed together with a very wide spectrum of instrumental facilities which are necessary for the thorough forensic examination of signatures, handwritings and documents generally. CONTACT DETAILS Forensic Document Laboratory If documents are to be either delivered by hand or by courier to the laboratory, it is advisable to contact us initially whereupon directions to the laboratory can be faxed to the client or courier.
