Legal DNA testing is a highly regulated and rigorous form of DNA Testing designed to meet strict legal standards for use in court proceedings. This type of testing provides conclusive evidence of biological relationships, playing a crucial role in various legal matters.

Key Applications of Legal DNA Testing:

1. Child support and custody cases
2. Inheritance disputes
3. Immigration proceedings
4. Adoption cases
5. Social Security / Disability benefits claims

What Sets Legal DNA Testing Apart from Non-Legal:

1. Chain of Custody: Our DNA Collectors are accredited and trained to ensure sample integrity and admissibility in court.
2. Witness Verification: Our DNA Collector serves as a neutral third party to verify the identity of all test participants.
3. Accredited Laboratories:  The DNA samples are sent to our accredited partner laboratory facilities that meet stringent regulatory standards.
4. Court-Admissible Documentation: Results are presented in a format accepted by legal authorities.
