Legal Question in Construction Law in Ohio

contracts

I have a customer and his wife, both signed a contract. We performed, they paid. Months later they file a suit claiming non- compliance. We show the contract to their attorney pointing to arbitration clause. He didn't know the contract exists (so how to claim non-compliance??). Shows the contract to his clients, they claim forgery and it's not their signatures. How do you force signature validity? If proven, do I have recorse for $$$??

Re: contracts

Dear Reader, You may have to retain a reputable handwriting expert to prove conclusively, that the signatures on the contract / agreement are authentic, and are actually those of your customers.

I cannot review and explain all of the law that applies without more information. Please consult and retain an experienced Attorney ASAP. Good luck.

Sincerely, J. Norman Stark
