EXCERPTS FROM LETTERS TO HANDWRITING EXPERT ANDREA McNICHOL
February 26, 2021. "Andrea, thank you. Your work was definitely helpful. In fact, right after your testimony at the deposition we actually settled the Lambetecchio matter. Your testimony was a big part of the reason why were able to shift into settlement mode so quickly. I very much enjoyed working with you and will keep you in mind for future cases."

"There is a French idiomatic expression that best describes your
communication regarding Andrea: Non, mais allô quoi?
Translated: “No, you have got to be kidding!” Of course I
know and remember your brilliant friend Andrea McNichol. Not only
did she teach the FBI, I remember most of all le riguer (dedication)
she brought to her craft. Not only have I spoken favorably
of her and her professionalism to my colleagues, I remember the
challenge and directness that she presented to me, e.g. insisting upon
precise and well-reasoned evidence as a predicate for her well-reasoned
expert opinion. The result: we prevailed in a difficult will
contest against multiple defendants, including against an attorney,
that yielded a seven figure verdict. You travel in cerebral
company. Please convey my sincere hello to Andrea. Really,
Non, mais allô quoi!"
--GEORGE GLASCO, ESQ.

May
2, 2018. "Andrea, you were absolutely great in the hearing
today. My client and I were so impressed with your testimony and
you came off as the teacher and their expert a new student. I
will let you know the judge's ruling as soon as it comes down."
May 3, 2018. "Hi Andrea, we prevailed on the motion! Here
are the two most relevant pages. Please note the Judge
discredited Chrisman's testimony but not yours! Thank you so much
and I hope we get a chance to work together again in the future." "By
contrast, the Court finds credible the testimony of Defendant's expert,
Andrea McNichol, who has extensive experience as a forensic document
examiner. McNichol testified that the questioned signatures were
signed by the same person. And, she further testified that--based
on a comparison with original signatures from more than one-hundred
authentic exemplars from time reords of Plaintiff--the questioned
signature was given by Plaintiff. As noted by McNichol, the
overwhelming similarities of handwriting features in the acknowledged
known authentic signatures and the questioned signatures leaves no
doubt as to that conclusion." (Expert testimony May 2, 2018

yesterday. I thought you did battle with the opposition's
lawyer who was very sneaky and you got the best of him by keeping your
cool. You were wonderful and I think the Judge believed
you. You can't enhance something if it isn't there. Thank
you so very much once again and best wishes and I'm looking forward to
working with you on the Kruger case." (Andry vs. Andry, Case

today. We appreciate your help. It settled for $315k.
We did it with your excellent handwriting analysis and demonstrative
exhibits. Judge Lewis read Paulson the riot act about denying
writing the anonymous letters. We are glad to have a resolution that
hopefully brings an end to Paulson's bullying. Also, I posted
your name on the Consumer Attorneys' message board last week because an

“I had a great experience with Andrea McNichol. During
trial, we tried to get in evidence that a defendant lied on the stand
when questioned about his own handwriting (lied that it wasn’t his),
when it clearly was. We had no clue that
he would do that, but we got caught because he hadn’t been deposed on
that document and authentication hadn’t been established.
We hired Andrea to perform a questioned
document analysis, and several days later she walked me through the
whole analysis that she performed, essentially giving me a Handwriting
101 class. She was fantastic.
Unfortunately, after a hearing on the issue,
the judge didn’t let us put this evidence on at this late date so we
didn’t get her on the stand. She’s a real
teacher and her straight-up questioned document analysis is great. I would not hesitate to hire Andrea again.”

the subject was critical to that finding. I

as your background experience came across very impressive (which it
obviously is). It was clear that you were

The court stated: “Plaintiff
called Andrea McNichol, a questioned
documents examiner with lengthy and excellent credentials.
She testified that the signatures on the
letter dated January 29, 2002 and the stock certificates were forged. She believed the signatures were a result of a
cut and paste procedure. She was positive
these signatures were forged and her reasons were logical and not
impeached by the defendant. She said all
of the signatures were identical which was critical in that two
signatures by the same person are never identical.”

“We are writing to thank you for your incredibly
prompt assistance and testimony that was instrumental in the Judgment
in favor of our client. As you will recall, our client was sued by an
attorney based on various breach of contract theories as a purported
guarantor of an "Employment Agreement" for services related to the
practice of law.
"With little more that forty-eight (48) hours
notice before trial we noticed an issue raising a question whether
signatures had been forged on the contract. We were lucky enough to
contact you since on receipt of the contract at issue you pointed out
additional issues not considered. Since ours was a trial de novo,
discovery was virtually non-existent such that the purported original
contract was not available. Nevertheless, you agreed to act as our
expert remaining flexible in the event an original contract was
introduced by the attorney Appellant.
"As it turned out, the original trial date was
continued for approximately thirty (30) days. On the first day of trial
before the Los Angeles Superior Court Judge, the Appellant introduced
what was supposed to be the original contract. Our request
that your testimony be taken out of order was granted and with only a
ten (10) minute break for you to review the "original" contract.
Your superior skill and knowledge allowed you to testify not only about
the inconsistencies between the photocopied contract and what was newly
introduced as the "original" how the "original" had been signed and
dated by the same person and how all of that was entirely inconsistent
with the testimony of the attorney Appellant. Your testimony was devesting as reflected not only in the faces of
our opponent and his counsel, but also during the cross-examination,
which you handled as a seasoned professional.
"Your fee was very reasonable and the adjustment
made for our client's benefit both generous and appreciated. We
certainly feel fortunate to have contacted you. Little did we know in
our initial call that we had reached the finest profession who is
plainly at the top in her area of practice.
"We look forward to working with you again and
will recommend you to others with confidence. Thank you again for
helping us achieve a judgment in favor of
our client."
-- J. BRUCE ROBERTSON, Esq.
Los
Angeles, California
"This is to advise you that the jury in the above
matter returned a unanimous verdict in our favor in under 40 minutes!
The jury was fascinated by your testimony concerning the plaintiff's
signature on the Informed Consent documents as well as the other
documents bearing the plaintiff's signature in the doctor's chart. They
concluded very quickly that she was being less than honest in her
stance that she did not sign one of the Informed Consent documents."

"The court found that there was a 'battle of the
experts' and that 'after reviewing the testimony, the reports, and the

your assistance and professionalism on such short notice. I will call
on you again should I need an expert in the field of questioned

"I wanted to report back to you on the above
noted matter in which you served so ably as my client's expert witness. Judge Gafkowski
reached his decision on August 19th, 2004.
At that time, Judge Gafkowski
noted that there was a natural affection between the decedent and
respondent and that the descendent had on a number of occasions
indicated her desire to pass her property to respondent upon her death. However, based almost entirely upon your
expert testimony, the court concluded that on the date she executed the
deeds, the descendent did not have adequate mental capacity to lawfully
perform that act. As a result, he ordered
the property transferred into the estate, where it will be passed
through in testate succession.
During his decision, Judge Gafkowski,
though he only had your transcript to work with, repeatedly praised
your education, background and experience in dealing with questioned
documents. Without your significant
expertise, I strongly suspect that he would have ruled against us.
Needless to say, I am extremely pleased with your
work and professionalism. If I may be of
any future assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me."

My Client brought an action against another party
for forging a deed We selected our own expert, who agreed the signature
on the document was a forgery. Opposing
counsel selected you to examine the document and our expert forwarded
the documents to you. I researched your
office and your curriculum vitae. I had
read the testimonial section of your website and was preparing for the
usual "battle of the experts". About a
week before trial, opposing counsel called me to concede the document
was "non-authentic". This statement came
about three years after the document was "found" and after the start of
the trial.
I write this letter because I have an extremely
strong suspicion that you gave an evaluation that the document was
fictitious to opposing counsel. At the
very least, you did not make an evaluation that favored the opposing
party, which is evidenced by the fact that the opposing attorney
stipulated that the document was "non-authentic" shortly after you
received the document.
As an attorney you have to face the reality
experts will have opposing views on the same issue.
There is a perception that some experts can be
purchased (or rented) for the right price to say that which will aid in
the client's case. It is a credit to your
integrity that a party may (desperately) want you to make an evaluation
in their favor, but you give them the truth.
There is no doubt that the case would have
continued longer than necessary and made the decision of the court
uncertain had you given the opposing counsel even the slightest hint
that you could have testified to the document being authentic or
inconclusive. As a legal provisional I
appreciate your integrity and honesty. It's
a credit to you and the professionalism of your field."
