Can a polygraph be taken in lawyer's office?
Criminal defense attorney representing clients facing State & Federal criminal charges.
It is possible for a polygraph test, also known as a lie detector test, to be administered in a lawyer's office. Trained polygraph examiners typically administer polygraph tests, and many private polygraph examiners have offices in law firms or other professional buildings. The defense attorney, the prosecution, or in some cases, the judge can request the test. The results of polygraph tests are generally not admissible as evidence in court, as they are considered unreliable and not scientifically proven. They are usually used as a tool for the defense attorney to investigate the case and check their client's credibility. If your husband's polygraph test were done in a lawyer's office, the attorney would not be able to present the results in court as evidence. However, the attorney may use the test results to help decide on a defense strategy or plea bargain.
