“What are people saying about our forensic handwriting services? ”

“Mr. Grogan: Thank you for handling my contract dispute in between First Capital Investments Mercantile Inc and my company, Global Village Market Holdings Ltd. I needed someone of your expertise and knowledge to determine the validity of the signatures and you came highly recommended by the FBI. You were very prompt and thorough in you examination and written reports. I also appreciate your constant contact throughout the past two years. When my case finally went to the Commonwealth of the Bahamas Supreme Court in December 2008, your testimony was vital in support of the evidence. Your presence on the witness stand was professional and personable. You were able to connect well with the court and handled yourself extremely well in cross examination. Your attitude and approach to your profession is very serious, honest and direct. I would whole heartedly recommend your skills and knowledge to everyone needing a forensic handwriting expert. I look forward to conducting additional business with you in the future."

“Dear Mr. Grogan: I am writing to thank you for your prompt, professional and very helpful service. Your opinion confirmed my suspicions that a document submitted as evidence by my opponent was not genuine, and your expert opinion added the credibility we needed for the Court to give our allegations the consideration they deserve. I will certainly retain you again if the need arises and recommend you to anyone with questions about the authenticity of a document."

“When I discovered I was in need of a handwriting expert to verify my signature, I was anxious and confused. This only happens on TV. In an age of fraud and identity theft, I have been made aware that this happens often. I began my search on the internet in hopes of finding someone local. Here is where I found Thomas Grogan (of Forensic Document Laboratory, Inc.). After I reviewed his credentials and discovered his vast knowledge and experience in the business, I immediately contacted him. He called me back the same day. He even came to my house to pick up and drop off the documents. I was very pleased with his service levels, documentation, and timely follow-up and follow-through. (I) would definitely recommend and refer him to others.”

“Thomas Grogan, Thanks so much for the fast turnaround on this item. We will continue to use your service in the future. This is a wonderful service for our industry, finally we have a place to go where the professional service and integrity is without question. We needed an autograph authenticated immediately and Forensic Document Laboratory Inc. was there for us. They were able to handle such a high valued item with no problems at all. I would recommend any firm or individual to use this service prior to selling or offering a piece for sale.” (Referring to signature authentication of W. H. Bonney aka “Billy the Kid”)

“Dear Mr. Grogan: I very much appreciate your level of expertise and the diligence which went into the handwriting analysis of a Power of Attorney, which proved to be a forgery.  

While many documents may be important and involve both money and power, few could be as important as one which has the implied power to control the quality of life of a man who cannot speak for himself. Thanks to your hard work, we have the credible evidence needed to take the matter before a court of law. Your contribution to our efforts has been priceless.

In addition to being an expert in your field, truly, you put your heart into your work - a rare combination. I would highly recommend your services to anyone who suspects forgery.Thank you again.”

“Dear Mr. Grogan: My Mother and I would like to thank you for the excellent analysis you performed on our family documents. We were at the end of a bleak legal issue that was out of our control. Now, with your help, we have a renewed sense of hope that is leading us down the path of delayed justice. The truth is going to help us when we go to court and we couldn't have done it without you.

I know this is just another step in the process; but we are confident that if you are with us in the hearing, we will prevail. Thank you for your expedient, professional analysis.”

“Dear Thomas Grogan, Thank you very much for your analysis of the handwriting documents and services from the historical files. Your expertise and insight provided our extended Selsor family some validated handwriting evidence that proved our ancestral origins to the Hessian Soldier from Kleestadt Germany. It is nice to bring a sense of closure to this question of origin that the family has been trying to answer for decades now.”

"Dear Mr. Grogan, On behalf of the North Carolina Paralegal Association, Inc., I would like to thank you for your part in making our recent mid-year seminar in Cary a success. It was a pleasure to have you on our program. The time and effort you spent on your presentation is greatly appreciated. Our group was truly enlightened as to forgery-proofing our signatures with your helpful advice. All of the helpful tips we need to take to protect ourselves from identity theft and becoming victims of fraud were covered in this presentation. In addition, your services in all of your areas of expertise will be considered in our professional lives whenever our cases require forensic document examination and expert witness in that regard. Continuing legal education is an essential element in all law-related professions, including the paralegal profession. Without generous support from people like you, it would be impossible for NCPA to conduct these educational activities. Again, thank you for your support.”

"Dear Mr. Grogan:
After the death of my sister I was in need of a handwriting expert to determine the authenticity of her signature on her Will and several documents in question that may have to be used in a court of law regarding her estate. I called you late on a Friday afternoon and you called me back with 30 minutes. We talked over 45 minutes and I knew from the way you explained your services and your genuine concern over my problem, I wanted to retain your company. My lawyer’s name and telephone number were given to you and on Monday a meeting was set to meet. My sister’s documents were given to you and within 10 days my lawyer and I had the answers to our questions. There were several telephone conversations between you and I over that period which you kept me informed of your progress. (Thomas) has been invaluable to me and my lawyer. Thank you for giving me peace of mind.”

“Dear Mr. Grogan;
There are no words to express my sincere appreciation for your expertise in our case. The words ‘customer service, professionalism, and polite common courtesy’ use to be what a business prided itself on, but not anymore. You and your company are quite the exception. During our very first conversation, you didn’t make any promises you couldn’t keep and you didn’t make any predictions on the outcome of your examination. There were no false hopes given, only the truth about the documents in question. I know a true professional when I meet one. Forensic Document Laboratory, Inc. is a one of a kind professional company. There is no gray areas with you, either it’s true or false, no in between. I know whom I will seek out if I should ever require an expert in handwriting again. Thank you again, Mr. Grogan, for the outstanding truly professional manner in which you examined and expedited our case. You saved my family and me a lot of sleepless nights and undue stress of this whole ordeal.”

I appreciate all the help and direction you gave with our recent situation.  As I told you on the phone, we won the case!  Again, thank you!”

“Thomas (Grogan) provided expert handwriting analysis to us for important client matters. In one case we submitted his handwriting analysis to the IRS, and the IRS dropped their case against my client shortly thereafter.”

Richard Marsh, Jr.;  MARSH LAW FIRM, PA

“In March of (2006) the undersigned engaged the services of Mr. Grogan to perform a forensic examination of certain documents in dispute in a Will caveat proceeding.  Mr. Grogan met with me and very efficiently and clearly described the terms of his standard contract and what he would need to perform the examination. My clients entered into a contract for his services and he performed his duties in a very timely manner and submitted a very clear and concise forensic document examination report. Based upon my experience with Mr. Grogan and the quality of his work I can wholeheartedly recommend his expertise in the field of forensic examinations.”

“Dear Mr. Grogan,
I just wanted to take the time to write and say “Thank You” for the time and effort you put into my case. Having someone forge my name to “give up” my rights to my home was such an emotional roller coaster, that I sometimes did not know which way to turn. Coming across your business was one of the best things to happen during this whole ordeal.  I appreciate your professionalism but also your manner in clearly stating to me what your process was to be. I felt comfortable putting this matter into your hands. I have no misgivings in the information you have provided to me as well as the state investigators.  Again, I thank you for your help, your knowledge of your craft, and your sincere concern in dealing with me in my hour of need.”

Nancy Bolick

“Mr. Grogan,
Thank you for your prompt and efficient handling of our recent handwriting analysis.  We had a journal that supposedly was written by the plaintiff and had only limited samples of his own handwriting for comparison purposes.  Youwere able to quickly give us the opinion that the journal was not written by him, an analysis that helped us determine our litigation strategy.”

Susan Fentin;  SKOLER, ABBOTT & PRESSER, PC

“Dear Mr. Grogan,
Thank you for your expert opinion as well as your professional service. You helped my family and I expose forged checks in excess of $200,000. Your expert opinion was the necessary evidence to motivate the County Attorney to initiate charges against the criminals. His office did not have the resources available for such an expert opinion. We are now on the road to justice. We have also initiated a civil case based on your expert work. We anticipate retaining your services when we have our day in court. Thank you.”

"Thom Grogan spoke … at our monthly dinner meeting of Credit Professionals International here in Charlotte, NC. Mr. Grogan's presentation was excellent and very informative not to mention extremely interesting. Mr. Grogan concentrated most on The Making of a Forgery and all that a forgery entails such as proactive ways to reduce chances of forgery through contracts, checking and savings accounts and credit cards. The importance of using the same type of pen and color for public signatures was stressed to stop identity theft. Mr. Grogan also made our organization aware of what to do if we become a victim of a forgery, such as, contacting the police department and credit reporting agencies within a timely manner, contacting the financial institution to obtain an Affidavit of Forgery and the importance of keeping originals (if available) in a safe place. Mr. Grogan provided our organization with the viewing of his finger print equipment that he uses in his line of work. Thom Grogan will be returning to speak at our North Carolina State Conference of Credit Professionals International in September of 2005. His subject matter will be more in depth and he will have more time for a more detailed presentation. If your company or organizations are looking for a State of the Art type of presentation, please call upon Mr. Thom Grogan."

“I want to personally thank you for the handwriting analysis.  My girlfriend of six years left my residence with no words or open line of communication.  The only letter I received from her was the notice sent to me via UPS in which she had asked for me to not try and contact her.  I, of course, did not think the letter was signed in her signature. I certainly appreciate the work you have done for me in determining it to be her authentic signature.  I can now have closure to our relationship once and for all.  I will be glad to recommend your services to anyone who needs your expertise.”

Bobby Boyer

“In September 2007, I had an opportunity to use the services of Mr. Thomas Grogan of Forensic Document Laboratory, Inc. I found Mr. Grogan to be very professional and discreet. He worked quickly and provided the needed documents in a timely manner. In addition, Mr. Grogan went out of his way to accommodate my schedule and specific needs. I would very much recommend his services to anyone in need of handwriting analysis.”

“Thomas Grogan was hired by me to determine if the invoices I received were forged. The results have helped me tremendously because the perpetrator has refrained from sending me anymore of these documents through the post office. The forensic results have also raised some eyebrows in court regarding this perpetrator. Thank you, Thomas.”

“I am writing to thank you and tell you how much your expertise, promptness and professionalism were appreciated. Your comprehensive analysis helped prove the truth after our child was falsely accused of forging a signature. Your courtesy during this very stressful time will long be remembered and I would highly recommend your forensic handwriting services to anyone in our situation.”

“I have had the pleasure to work with Thom (Grogan) … for several years now. Thom has demonstrated his many valuable qualities both as an Instructor and in the office as well. We have gone to Thom not only for his outstanding customer service and computer talent, but also to utilize his expert opinion in forensic handwriting analysis as well.”
Adrian Smigiel; Marketing Director; Starks Training Institute, Inc.

“We asked Thom to perform an examination for us related to an employee's honesty and forthrightness ... always a delicate matter. The work involved handwriting analysis coupled with careful use of such information before making any critical HR decisions. His analysis provided sufficient confirmation of things we suspected. When the employee was confronted with the evidence, there was confession and contrition. Thom's work is professional, thorough, and careful. He takes his work seriously, and we used the results with great care. We recommend him along these lines.”
