I need to send a sample of some handwriting to a graphologist for analysis. Can anyone recommend one?

Nope. But it's a load of sh*te btw. Send the same writing to two of these charlatans and they'll give you different opinions.

Forthright as ever:D Wonder how you'd deal with a Christian graphologist, diz:p

To be more precise, I need to prove that a signature on a loan agreement is a forgery.

Anyone?

According to Wikipedia, what you need is Questioned Document Analysis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Questioned_document_examination), not Graphology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphology).
Edit: something like this? http://www.documentevidence.co.uk/ or http://www.docexam.co.uk/forensic_equipment.html

How do they prove this though, can't think that two of my signitures are the same and from a day to day basis and depending if I'm in a rush or not I'm sure two of my signitures could be mistaken as two completely different people signing them, diz is right , load of old. . .

Surely they'd be arguing their expertise that the bible was written by god's cloudy-hands himself ;)

I'd be amazed if you could prove it was a forgery. Handwriting isn't consistent enough at the best of times, never mind trying to prove anything with any reasonable confidence.
