"Bart,
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."
~ Mike Juaraz,
East Los Angeles
"Thanks you soooooo much for going above and beyond. Your testimony was the key the criminal lawsuit against me. The jury found me NOT GUILTY on all counts. They obviously believed you instead of that Police document examiner the D.A. hired.
I was so impressed you handled that District Attorney with such professionalism... he knew you
were right, but couldn't make you look bad on the witness stand.
I have my life back. Thank you Mr. Baggett!"
~ Amir Dawood, Attorney
San Bernadino, CA

hesitation."

"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. He even "consulted with me" on how best to cross-examine
the defense's document examiner. We won the trial and I recommend him whole heartedly."
~ Jim Fry, Attorney
Anchorage, Alaska
"Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter. Your opinion letter may become enough to
prevent a trial."

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. There is no credible experts that charge $200. If you see a price that low, run the other
direction.
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. You have seen him regularly on CNN and the other major new outlets.
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 and we hope you do not hire them. Mr. Baggett is very qualified.
My case contains no originals, can you still render an opinion which will hold up in court? Yes. Bart can render an official opinion 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 and handwritten evidence are usually just a small piece of a much larger puzzle.
How much will it cost to have Bart Baggett himself come to court and testify in person? Bart's rates are clearly stated on the rate sheet. His court appearance fee is in line with the other experts across the nation. In order for him to come to court, you must have already retained and designated him so he has time to render the authentic opinion.
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 feel comfortable hiring Mr. Baggett and he is the best expert for your case.
