The fee is $500.00.  A non-refundable $200.00 reservation fee (deposit) is required to hold your appointment time.  The remaining $300.00 is due at the time of the appointment. A no show is considered after 15 minutes past the appointment time without notifying us.  A one time reschedule is allowed for the remainder of the exam fee if we are contacted prior to 24 hours of the exam. If after the this, the exam is cancelled, the entire fee will be forfeited.  

Our fee is resonabale compared to other "networks" who are from out of the area and charge $700.00 or more.

Up to four questions can be asked during the exam, however, the test is more accurate with fewer questions. The questions must be very specific and cannot have “and/or” in the wording.  All of the questions must relate to a single issue i.e. infidelity. The questions must be based on a specific act that someone did or did not do.  No thoughts, opinions or intentions can be covered in the questions. 

Examples of acceptable questions are: 

Since you have been married to your wife/husband, have you had sexual contact with anyone other than him/her?

Did you ever have any sexual contact with (insert name here)?

Poor examples of questions are:

Do you love your wife/husband?

Did you ever make arrangements to meet someone you are                     attracted to?

Do you want to be with your wife/husband?

There are many studies that have shown the polygraph to be anywhere from 80% to 95% accurate.  I suggest doing your own research on the accuracy.  

The exam will be by appointment only and will be conducted at our office.  Only the person undergoing the exam and the examiner may be in the room.  Anyone else will need to wait in the waiting room. Allow a mimimun of one and half hours to complete the process at the time of the appointment.  The person undergoing the exam must agree to the exam.  No threats can be made to compel anyone to undergo a polygraph examinatiton. If at the time of the exam, the person does not wish to take the exam and/or advises threats were made toward them to undergo the exam,  the exam will not be conducted and the deposit will be forfeited.

In the days prior to the exam, please do not discuss the issue or argue about the issue prior to the exam.  This will cause undue stress on the person undergoing the exam.  All questions will be reviewed with the person undergong the polygraph examination,  there will be no surprise questions.  

The results will be in a written report which will be emailed within 24 hours of the completion of the exam.

Pregnant individuals will not be tested.  Examinees found to be under the influence of alcohol or illicit drugs including marijuana will not be tested.  If anyone is found to be pregnant and/or shows any evidence of being under the influence including strong odor of marijuana and alcohol, they will not be tested and the deposit and fee will be forfeited.  

Professional counseling is highly recommended.  Do not make any life changing decisions based solely on the polygraph exam.
