Answer

Thank you for your inquiry. If you would like to speak with an attorney in regards to this matter, please give our office a call, (919) 829-3500.

Answer

You should never take a "lie detector" test in general, but clearly never without an experienced criminal defense attorney present. The "test" is very subjective, and is often a ruse to get you to answer incriminating questions.
