DNA Testing

DNA Testing

DNA testing often arrives during moments of profound personal significance, whether you are navigating a custody dispute, pursuing immigration goals, seeking answers about your family history, or establishing paternity for legal or personal reasons. These moments carry emotional weight and uncertainty, and we approach every client with the sensitivity, respect, and discretion that such deeply personal matters demand.

Our certified collectors understand that the sample collection process can feel intimidating or overwhelming, especially when legal outcomes depend on the accuracy of the results. We take the time to explain every step of the process, answer your questions thoroughly, and ensure that you feel comfortable and informed before we begin.

Whether you choose our legal DNA testing with full chain-of-custody documentation for court-admissible results or our non-legal testing for personal knowledge and peace of mind, we deliver the same exceptional level of professional care and attention to detail. Our laboratory partners are accredited and follow the most rigorous quality standards, giving you complete confidence in the accuracy of your results.

The difference between our legal and non-legal DNA testing options lies primarily in the documentation and procedures required to maintain admissibility in court proceedings. Legal DNA tests require government-issued photo identification, witnessed sample collection by a certified professional, complete chain-of-custody documentation, certified laboratory analysis, and secure handling of all samples and results from collection to delivery.

These strict procedures ensure that your results will stand up to legal scrutiny in custody battles, child support cases, immigration proceedings, and other court matters where definitive proof is essential.

Non-legal DNA tests are designed for individuals who simply wish to gain personal knowledge about their family relationships or ancestry without the formalities and additional costs associated with legal testing. These tests are more affordable, more convenient, and do not require chain-of-custody documentation, yet they still provide accurate, confidential insights that can clarify personal questions.

We offer testing for father-child relationships, mother-child relationship, sibling relationships, grandparent-grandchild connections, aunt or uncle relationships, twin zygosity, infidelity concerns, immigration requirements, prenatal paternity, Y-chromosome analysis, mitochondrial DNA testing, ancestry and ethnicity.
