How can I select the best criminal defense lawyer for me?
Anytime that you need to retain an effective criminal defense attorney, you should look for one who's enthusiastic about their work, and with relevant experience in the specific legal subdiscipline that you're dealing with.
Why did the court ask me to take a polygraph test?
Prosecutors request polygraph testing when they're trying to increase the clarity of evidence to support their work in a case. If you've been asked to take a lie detector test, the state is trying to strengthen their case with additional proof, even though lie detector test results are not always considered to be accurate.
Do I have to accept a polygraph test if I’m demanded to?
In almost every case, no! Remember that. It is not likely that you are legally obligated to submit to lie detector testing, even if police authorities have told you that you'll be arrested if you don't. The first and best thing to do is to call our office and allow us to guide you through this sensitive process. Sooner is better.
Can lie detector test results help me dodge jail time?
The state of Michigan places more value on lie detector test results than many other states do, and the results are commonly admissible as evidence. That's why it's critical to retain intelligent, effective legal counsel as soon as possible.
Should my lawyer use a lie detector test in my case?
Every case is different, and it can be complicated to make that decision. Sometimes, it makes discernible sense to administer lie detector tests. Other times, it can be a serious detriment to the case. We can discuss your options during a no-cost consultation.
