I eas ask to take a lie detector test. Should i get a lawyer ?
I was accused of licking my ex-stepdaughter’s privates. They asked me to come in for questioning and I did. They want to schedule a lie detector test. The detective said if I pass it would be done with.

Absolutely. You do not need to speak to the police, even if they come to your home to question you. The fact is that they are trained and experienced in getting people to make incriminating statements either about themselves or others. Accordingly, you need to speak with an attorney ASAP. Under no circumstances submit to a lie detector test without having legal representation.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
