Court Admissible DNA Testing

Documented DNA testing prepared with court review in mind, for families involved in legal proceedings.

Overview

Who Court Admissible DNA Testing is for

When a DNA result will be presented in a legal proceeding, how the sample was collected matters as much as the result itself. Court admissible DNA testing is built around that reality.

We help families and their attorneys in Lebanon, Tennessee understand the documented process so the result can stand up to review.

Results that hold up under scrutiny

In court, the other side may question whether a sample truly came from the person named on the report. Documented collection, identity verification and a careful chain of custody are what allow a DNA result to be relied on in that setting.
