Re: false charges
F. Lee Bailey was a big believer in lie detector tests but he wrote that there were only two or three people in the entire country that he felt were qualified to read the results. My gut reaction is against taking one unless it is a case where the prosecution has an extremely strong case. That being said, you need to speak to an attorney in confidence before making such a decision.
Re: false charges
You should really retain private counsel to determine whether the lie detector is a good idea. Without the detailed facts, I cannot say from your description what you should do. Feel free to call our offices; we do not charge for an initial consultation.
