Professional, confidential polygraph testing for Somerville residents. Your examination takes place at our Suffield, Connecticut office — a ~2 hr 26 min drive from Somerville — with the same APA-standard service as every location in our network.
Polygraph Testing for Somerville Residents
A lie detector test for Somerville, Massachusetts residents costs $900 for a single person examination at our Suffield location, just 84.2 miles away. Couples testing is $1,600 and group rates start from $700 per person. All prices include the booking fee, examination, pre-test assessment, and a detailed written report with no hidden costs.
Somerville sits directly against Boston and Cambridge and is famously one of the most densely populated cities in New England, home to just over 80,000 people and part of the Tufts University campus footprint. We want to be upfront: there is no polygraph office in Somerville itself. Examinations for Somerville clients are conducted at our office at 63 High Street in Suffield, Connecticut — 84.2 miles away, roughly a 146-minute drive down through central Massachusetts and over the Connecticut line.
Why travel that far? Because polygraph results are only as reliable as the room they are collected in. A kitchen table in a triple-decker off a busy Somerville street, with traffic noise and interruptions, is exactly the kind of setting that degrades chart quality. The Suffield office gives your examiner a quiet, private, fully controlled environment where the instrumentation can do its job properly.
Your appointment covers a pre-test interview, the examination itself, and a same-day written report you can hand to a partner, employer or attorney. A single examination is $900, couples testing is $1,600, and group bookings are $700 per person. The examiner assigned to your case is a professional trained to APA standards, and the fee is the same whether your matter involves a relationship, a workplace issue or a private family dispute.

Preparing for Your Visit
Travelling to your polygraph appointment? These tips will help you arrive prepared and get the most accurate results.
Plan Your Journey
Your appointment at our Suffield, Connecticut office is approximately ~2 hr 26 min from Somerville. We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early — rushing to your appointment can elevate your heart rate and affect your physiological baseline, which could impact accuracy. Plan for traffic and allow a small buffer.
The Night Before
Get a full night’s rest. Fatigue affects physiological responses and can interfere with the accuracy of your polygraph results. Avoid alcohol the evening before, and try to maintain your normal routine as much as possible.
What to Bring
Bring any relevant documents — case notes, a list of questions you want covered, or reference materials. If someone is accompanying you, they’re welcome to wait in reception while the examination takes place in a separate private room.
On the Day
- Avoid caffeine and stimulants — coffee, energy drinks, and nicotine elevate heart rate and can affect sensor readings
- Eat a light meal — don’t arrive on an empty stomach as sessions typically last 90 minutes to 2 hours
- Wear comfortable clothing — sensors are placed around the upper body, so avoid tight or restrictive layers
- Bring valid photo ID — your examiner will verify your identity before the examination begins

Why Our Results Are Trusted
The science behind our polygraph examinations at Suffield.
Accuracy Rate
When administered by a qualified, APA-qualified examiner using validated protocols, polygraph testing achieves 90–95% accuracy in specific-issue testing, supported by decades of peer-reviewed research.
Question Repetition
Every relevant question is repeated a minimum of three times during your examination. This multi-pass approach eliminates anomalies and ensures the physiological data is consistent and reliable.
Channels Monitored
Our digital instruments simultaneously monitor heart rate, blood pressure, respiration (thoracic and abdominal), and electrodermal activity — providing a comprehensive physiological profile throughout the examination.
Validated Technology
The polygraph is the only scientifically validated technology for truth verification. We reject unvalidated alternatives including voice stress analysers, mobile apps, and eye-tracking tools.
Polygraph Testing & Legal Admissibility in Massachusetts
Polygraph results can be used as supporting evidence in many legal proceedings in Massachusetts. Admissibility varies by court and jurisdiction — in some cases, results are admitted by mutual agreement of both parties, while in others they may be used to support or defend against allegations during investigations, custody disputes, or employment matters.
Our Suffield examiners provide detailed written reports suitable for legal use, and are available for expert testimony if required. If you are considering testing for legal purposes from Somerville, we recommend discussing this with your attorney and our team beforehand to ensure the examination is structured appropriately.
