Trusted and Professional Lie Detection Tests, Polygraph Examination Services, and Private Investigations in Beverly Hills and Calabasas, California
Se habla Español!
We offer polygraph examination services performed in English and Spanish. In order to get the most accurate results in a polygraph examination, the way questions are phrased matters—it matters a lot! Simply translating the idea in another language is not good enough. Each word and conjugation change the meaning of a sentence or question and may alter the outcome and accuracy of the lie detection exam. Our lead polygraph examiner expert has spoken English and Spanish since he was a child and is well-versed in grammar accuracy, dialect, and cultural phrasing. Simply having someone who “speaks Spanish” is not enough; you must have a professional polygraph specialist who knows the language in and out with native language abilities.

How the Polygraph Examination Process Works
During the initial consultation, our team will decide the best time and place for the polygraph examination. We will discuss the issue and the best line of questioning.
On the day of the exam we will prepare the space where the polygraph will be conducted. We tell whoever is going to be taking the exam to continue their normal, daily routine. If the person normally drinks a couple cups of coffee in the morning and has a workout regime, we tell them to adhere to their normal activities.
For the actual exam, there are a few things we tell the person to be mindful of:
1. Sit still and relax.
2. Pay attention to what is being asked and focus on what you are saying.
3. Tell the truth.
Following the polygraph test, if the client prefers, we can have our examiner discuss the results with you and provide a written, professional report.
