If you are planning on hiring a document examiner soley based on the a fair price, you are in luck. Despite Mr. Baggett's deep experience and fame, he has maintained a similar price structure as his industry peers so that the clients can choose based on 'quality' and not price. Bart Baggett's rate schedule is in the normal range of document examiners nationwide for testimonial time and court room appearances... the prices listed above for the initial consultation, labwork, and letter of opinion are still below the average industry prices. One examiner in Los Angeles requires a non-refundable $2000 retainer - regardless of the case detail. But, Mr. Baggett is not the cheapest in the United States. If you want a "discount price", please contact one of Mr. Baggett's students or a less experienced examiner.
Choose your expert based on quality, not price.

"Your testimony and support during this lawsuit by my x-girlfriend has been nothing short of amazing. The judge awarded me full amount of the $6,600 and finally I can sleep at night.
And, you went head-to-head against that x-government document examiner and made him look like a babbling idiot. The judge obviously thought you were more credible. Thank God I chose you. "

Attorney's Recommend Bart. |
"Bart Baggett is the best expert witness I've ever worked with. What's more, he successfully testified for my client via telephone in a live trial here in Alaska.

The judge accepted your "Official Letter of Opinion" in lui of a live testimony and he believed your opinion was credible. Should Mr. Baggett want to use our case for testimonial, feel free to do so. Thanks to you and Bart for efficient service!!!"

https://www.handwritingexpertusa.com/faq.html
What is a
handwriting expert or court document examiner?
Can Bart testify outside of California?
(Yes, Bart travels nationwide to testify and has been qualified to testify 100% of the time he has appeared in court as an expert witness.)
How much do handwriting experts charge to render an opinion?
Most experts are retired government employees and charge about $1200 as a retainer before they even view the documents and begin the case. Bart and his HSI associates charge under $995 to get started.)
Why should
I hire Bart Baggett, instead of another less qualified examiner?
Bart is the arguably the most recognized (famous) handwriting expert working in the USA. If credibility, accuracy, and integrity are important to your case, hire Bart. And, Bart has the rates as associates who have been working less than a year professionally. The only reason not to hire Bart is if your court date is on a date when Bart is already testifying in another case. He can't be two places at once.
What training
does a handwriting expert have to have in order to testify in
a court of law? That is a very long answer. The short answer is that an expert's qualifications are judged by the judge in each case. The long answer is that many working examiners are not qualified and shouldn't be taking cases, but do. Mr. Baggett is very qualified.
My case contains no originals, can you still render an opinion which will hold up in court? Yes. Bart testifies based on just copies on a regular basis.
Will Bart's
opinion be accepted in a court of law? Of course, but an expert witness's testimony is never a guarantee the judge will rule in your favor. Documents are usually one piece of a much larger puzzle.
How much will
it cost to have Bart Baggett himself come to court and testify in person? Does he travel outside California. (Yes. Often.)
All these
questions and more can be answered by simply calling our office. Your first conversation will take place without
a fee, so you can make sure you are hiring the right expert for
the job.
What is the refund policy if I start my case, put my case on hold, or I do not like the opinion rendered.
There is a strict no refud policy. Read the printed policy here.
Refund/ Return policy here.
