Service in Franklin, Tennessee
Some relationship questions involve difficult samples or high stakes. Forensic level analysis brings additional rigor to those cases.
Overview
Forensic relationship testing applies specialized laboratory techniques to relationship questions that standard testing cannot easily answer. It is often used when samples are limited, aged, or degraded, or when a case requires especially detailed analysis.
These cases are rarely simple, emotionally or scientifically. DNA Paternity Solutions helps families and their advisors understand the options, the limitations, and the realistic outcomes before any work begins.
Step by step
A clear sequence from first conversation to final report, arranged around your schedule in Franklin.
We gather the background, the samples available, and the question that needs answering.
The laboratory evaluates whether the material is likely to produce a usable profile.
Expanded markers or specialized extraction methods may be used depending on the case.
Results are reported with the context needed for informed decisions.
Hospitals and pathology departments sometimes retain tissue samples. With proper authorization, such material may provide DNA when no other source exists. Access depends on the institution’s policies and legal permissions.
Not every sample yields a profile, and not every question can be answered conclusively. We think it is kinder to explain those limits clearly at the start than to raise false hope.
