We Serve a Variety of Different Types of Clients
Ferland, Ranhoff, & Polygraph Examiner Associates serve a variety of clients. Attorneys utilize our polygraph services regularly. We can often conduct polygraph examinations for criminal defense attorneys confidentially under the protection of the attorney-client privilege right in the attorney’s quiet conference room.
It is our opinion at Ferland, Ranhoff, & Polygraph Examiner Associates that the use of polygraph testing can afford the defense lawyer greater opportunity to serve their client better. Our polygraph examinations are audio-video recorded. A copy of that recording, along with a detailed written report, is provided to the attorney to be used at their discretion. Viewing the recordings provides the attorney clarity as to whether they will have the client take the stand in their own defense or decide whether they will allow their client to submit to a police interview about the matter under investigation.
A truthful polygraph test result has often proven to be a convincing factor for prosecuting attorneys to consider dismissing charges against clients. Particularly when the charging evidence is weak. Many of our defense attorney clients also appreciate that polygraph testing helps to solidify their defense preparation.
