Federal Criminal Defense Attorney Christopher Angles Advises Clients on Polygraph Testing Implications

As a seasoned defense attorney with extensive experience in federal criminal court, Christopher Angles advises clients that while the actual results of polygraph testing are often inadmissable in court, the effects of undergoing polygraph testing can have dire consequences. Understand what can go wrong AND consult your attorney before you agree to submit to a polygraph test.

It's true that polygraph results rarely see the light of day in the courtroom, but in a federal criminal proceeding, your polygraph results may shape the trial - or even if you have one. If you pass the polygraph test, your case might end there. But if you fail, you are likely going on to the next phase of federal criminal proceedings.

As your defense attorney in federal criminal court, Christopher Angles reminds you that even though the polygraph test won't likely be admissable in court, the administrator of the polygraph test can be subpoenaed and empaneled as a witness for the prosecution, and anything you said to the polygraph tester will be admissable in court.

Therefore, you should NEVER say anything to the polygraph test administrator. If you are asked a question, do not answer and ask to speak with your federal defense attorney immediately.

Christopher Angles has used a qualified polygrapher in certain cases and has successfully ended investigations and obtained dismissals on behalf of clients based on the results.

You need an experienced federal criminal court defense attorney like Christopher Angles who can help you determine the best way to proceed with polygraph testing, which depending on your circumstances can make or break your defense against federal criminal charges.
