As someone stated earlier, this depends on the jurisdiction you're in and
the firm you work for.

By that logic, anyone could draw an "X" and say it was your  signature.  Or 
anyone could look up your Attorney number online and use  that too.  
Forgery is forgery, whether it's the use of a stamp or scrolling  a
signature 
which does not happen to be your own.  I used my stamp for  pleadings, 
discovery, official notification, and even before a notery  public.  I put
the marks 
made by that stamp out as my signature, and it was  always accepted by 
courts, other attorneys, etc.

There's  no difference in the look but anybody can get hold of the stamp.
That's the  reason we only used it for advertisements.

There is a twist here. Willl, any reasons why a stamp is not  as sufficient 
as a signature? Granted, I do not know how the stamp is  made, but if it is 
made from one's signature, what's the difference  between the two?

Take care.
