The Practice
Built at the Intersection of Law and Forensic Science
Barzey Forensics was founded by Dr. Nasheba Barzey, PhD, JD — a practicing attorney and forensic psychotherapist whose dual expertise enables a level of document analysis that neither discipline achieves alone.
Background
The Practice
Barzey Forensics was established to address a gap that practitioners encounter repeatedly: documents that don't add up, but whose irregularities are invisible to the untrained eye.
Dr. Barzey's background spans law, forensic psychology, and document examination. This combination is not incidental — it is the foundation of the practice's methodology. Legal training shapes the questions we ask. Forensic training shapes how we answer them.
We work with attorneys, organizations, and individuals who need more than suspicion — they need findings that can withstand scrutiny, support legal proceedings, and hold up under cross-examination.
Methodology
How We Work
Our process is systematic, documented, and designed to produce findings that are defensible in legal proceedings.
Intake & Scoping
We review the submitted matter, identify the documents at issue, and define the scope of examination. This conversation is confidential and carries no obligation.
Document Acquisition
We establish protocols for secure document transfer and chain-of-custody documentation appropriate to the matter's legal context.
Forensic Examination
We apply metadata analysis, timestamp verification, typographic examination, and structural analysis to identify anomalies and inconsistencies.
Findings Documentation
All findings are documented with specificity — what was found, where it was found, and what it indicates. We do not overstate conclusions.
Report & Testimony
We deliver a written forensic report structured for legal use. Where required, Dr. Barzey is available for deposition and courtroom testimony as an expert witness.
