What We Promise:

To perform the most accurate DNA test. Our standards require us to perform as much testing as needed to prove 99.99% paternity in every inclusion case. We test 22 markers and verify the sex of all tested individuals to assure you of reliable results. Additionally, we repeat entire DNA testing twice in all exclusions cases to confirm 100% exclusion.

To maintain confidentiality: Each client’s address, phone number and other personal information is held in confidence. All tested adults have a right to obtain a copy of the report but without written consent we will not release any personal information to other parties. We do not release results over the phone or via email. Records are stored in a secure facility and are available to authorized personnel only.

To keep clients fully informed. Our DNA Testing Specialists are trained to help you. We explain our paternity services and procedures in language you can understand. We'll track your case and keep you informed of the progress every step of the way.
