When you need to know the truth

Whether a sexual allegation, or missing assets matter, criminal and civil cases are not always black and white. Before charges are filed, the artful use of tactics and science can help. Tactically speaking polygraphs can buy time and even pressure the other side toward dropping charges. You could possibly head off the premature filing of your case by an overzealous investigator by showing them your client's favorable polygraph results.  And while you've given them something new to think about, introduce your request that the accuser also take a polygraph, or simply drop the charges. If on the other hand an investigator is the one who floats the idea of a polygraph, you may want to hold off laughing in their face until you've had a chance to see if your client can pass a legitimate polygraph. No attorney worth their salt would consider any law enforcement request to put their client "on the box", unless they knew that client would pass. Sometimes an attorney wants to humor their client's insistence to request a law enforcement polygraph by first checking to see if that client could pass an in-house test. Maybe you just need help getting that stubborn client to face reality and accept a relatively reasonable plea deal. A negative test result could help the client face facts and save wasted time effort. Polygraphs can also help during post-conviction to mitigate harsher sentencing by addressing unresolved issues of culpability, missing assets or other involvement. Defendants in sexual crimes can benefit at sentencing for participating in pre-trial sexual treatment with affirming polygraph results.  Whatever your reasons or strategy, you will always get more out of a polygraph than when you went in. 

Polygraph services for attorneys are always protected as privileged information and conducted in the strictest of confidence. Tests can be conducted in Farsi, Spanish, Vietnamese or Armenian. Reports are submitted only to counsel, and only if requested. Negative reports are not written unless requested. Post-test interviews (interrogations) are not conducted without prior approval. Exams in support of litigation are scored by a 2nd (active duty outside jurisdiction) police examiner and 3rd internationally recognized polygraph academic. That means opposing counsel gets a bullet proof report. Tests can be conducted in any holding or detention facility with a court order.
