Efficient Criminal Defense Polygraph Attorneys in Southwest Michigan
Polygraphs, or lie detector tests, measure a person’s physiological reactions to a series of questions. In theory, the results of these tests are used to determine whether a person is telling the truth. However, the results of a polygraph test are not definitive and challenging the results of a test is essential to any comprehensive criminal defense.

Moore, is a Michigan criminal defense lawyer and former prosecutor.

Contact our firm online, day or night, or call us at (269) 808-8007 if you have been asked to submit to a polygraph test or have already taken a polygraph test as part of a criminal investigation.
The Use Of Lie Detector Tests In Criminal Cases
It is the state’s job to gather evidence and to use this evidence in an effort to prove their charges beyond a reasonable doubt. Requesting that someone submit to a polygraph test is an effort by the state to help bolster their case and to gather more evidence. It is important to remember that you are not legally obligated to submit to a lie detector test. Even if the police threaten you with arrest or make other threatening statements, it is important to ask to speak to a lawyer if you have been asked to take a polygraph test.
In some cases, it may make sense to take a lie detector test as part of building your criminal defense case. However, this carries with it certain risks. We can let you know when and if you should consider taking a polygraph test.
