Re: taking a lie detector test

Depends on whether my client would need to lie or not. Also, it would depend on how much other evidence the prosecutor has and whether the prosecutor is interested in the lie detector test. Lie detector tests are not admissible evidence so in general there is no point in taking one. Contact me directly if you'd like more information.
