I contact 3 different private investigator and The Agency Inc. was the only one to call me back within the hour.

They were very thorough and provided me with excellent results and confirmed my suspicions about my cheating husband. They kept me up to date the entire time and they were very professional.

By Greatful

I started dating this woman I met at a bar. She told me she wasn't married and everything was going good until her husband found out she was messing around and then she screamed rape and her husband called the police. Of course she would rather see me burn than tell her husband the truth. I was scared. My life and my career were about to go down as well as the possibility of going to prison. My lawyer arranged for me to go to Mr. Patterson and told me to just tell the truth and he would know what to ask to help me get through this whole fiasco. Of course, I passed and Mr. Patterson followed up with a report which my lawyer took to the Commonwealth Attorney, who then requested the woman accusing me to take a polygraph test. Well she didn't and all charges were dropped. I don't know what would have happened if I had not taken the test with Mr. Patterson. He is well experienced and well respected in his profession. ...read more

How does the polygraph work?

The term "polygraph" literally means "many writings." The name refers to the manner in which selected physiological activities are simultaneously recorded. Polygraph examiners may use conventional instruments, sometimes referred to as analog instruments, or computerized polygraph instruments.It is important to understand what a polygraph examination entails. A polygraph instrument will collect physiological data from at least three systems in the human body. Convoluted rubber tubes that are placed over the examinee's chest and abdominal area will record respiratory activity. Two small metal plates, attached to the fingers, will record sweat gland activity, and a blood pressure cuff, or similar device will record cardiovascular activity.A typical polygraph examination will include a period referred to as a pre-test, a chart collection phase and a test data analysis phase. In the pre-test, the polygraph examiner will complete required paperwork and talk with the examinee about the test. During this period, the examiner will discuss the questions to be asked and familiarize the examinee with the testing procedure. During the chart collection phase, the examiner will administer and collect a number of polygraph charts. Following this, the examiner will analyze the charts and render an opinion as to the truthfulness of the person taking the test. The examiner, when appropriate, will offer the examinee an opportunity to explain physiological responses in relation to one or more questions asked during the test. It is important to note that a polygraph does not include the analysis of physiology associated with the voice. Instruments that claim to record voice stress are not polygraphs and have not been shown to have scientific support.How Much Does It CostThis is a question many people have when looking for a polygraph/lie detection examination. The answer is not a simple one. If you are working with a certified examiner who is a member of a nationally recognized organization, you are working with a professional. Usually, anyone who quotes you a price of $250 is more than likely a scam artist. Ask for their experience, credentials and have them send you the information for your review. If they dance around the issue or will not provide you the information, turn the other way. You want to confirm the truth on a personal matter and you want it done by a professional. ...read more

Polygraph/Lie detector

What to look for in an examiner: Every individual case deserves to have the proper techniques, equipment, and training available to the examiner to overcome the many obstacles that are used to preserve the integrity of the test. Any variations, and the validity of the test as well as any findings from the test will be diminished. Everyone loses.Make sure that you have done your homework. Spend the extra time to know and understand the qualifications of the examiner. Your Marriage and your ability to trust each other again may depend on it. Polygraph is a very reliable investigative tool. If it is not used properly it can also be a very dangerous tool. Dangerous from the standpoint that the results can have long lasting negative effects. It’s important that you get it right.Please make sure that you choose an examiner that is Certified through the Virginia Polygraph Association (http://www.vapolygraph.com/,  and the American Polygraph Association (http://www.polygraph.org/),  Both of these organizations ensure that the examiner that you are choosing is a professional examiner and is up to date on their equipment, and overall knowledge in the field. Going with the cheapest examiner without checking these qualifications can result as a mere coin flip. Be careful and Good Luck . ...read more
