Our Story
In 2018, IRS Criminal Investigations’ forensic document examiner and handwriting expert Kevin Kulbacki noticed a major shift in the accessibility and availability of qualified forensic document examination services. Many state forensic laboratory systems no longer offered the services, while simultaneously qualified private examiners became fewer and farther between. In 2019, he founded KDX Forensic Consulting with a simple goal: to provide the highest quality forensic document examination services and to make them accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.
Along the way, KDX has also expanded beyond being just another forensic laboratory by becoming the leading expert in the forensic reliability of eSignatures and signature verification algorithm testing. KDX has continuously invested in state-of-the-art equipment, software, and systems that allow us to offer higher quality examinations, quicker turnaround times, and an unparalleled level of customer service to every client.

“Kevin and KDX is who our office will use when in need of a handwriting expert on cases. His work is thorough, detailed, and helped our office resolve a contentions contract issue in an estate without the need for a trial or other hearings. Kevin is knowledgeable and articulate and can help attorneys explain the evidentiary process of handwriting review in a manner that the client understands. This aspect is also invaluable as our office does not see a lot of cases involving handwriting/signature issues wherein we need an expert.”
