When an investigation depends on the strength of the science, Lyonswood provides the forensic analysis you can rely on. We work with trusted forensic experts to ensure evidence is examined thoroughly, objectively and with full independence.
Whether you're a lawyer preparing a matter or a private client trying to get answers about something personal, we're here to deliver confidence through precise forensic work.
With more than 40 years in investigations, Lyonswood has built partnerships with some of Australia's leading forensic specialists in a variety of fields. We make sure evidence is not only tested, but also reviewed and interpreted with impartiality.
Government and prosecution labs do important work, but their version of the science may not tell the full story. In fact, sometimes government labs get it wrong. That's where independent analysis comes in handy. By reviewing or re-testing evidence, our experts can expose errors or confirm results with greater certainty.
Forensic reports are often dense and technical which can make them difficult for a layperson to interpret. This shouldn't always be the case. Our specialists know how to translate complex findings into straightforward conclusions.
The goal is to make sure you understand what the evidence really shows. Whether the situation involves new samples, older evidence from a personal matter you want to revisit, or something that simply doesn't sit right, we guide you through what the results actually show.
At every stage, we focus on accuracy and a straightforward presentation of the facts.
From biological evidence to chemical and toxicological testing, our experts deliver comprehensive forensic analysis services across Australia.
The presence of blood, semen, or saliva can be crucial in figuring out the truth. Biological fluid testing helps establish whether traces of these substances are present and, if so, how they fit into the bigger picture. Results may help establish whether contact occurred between individuals, whether violence took place, or whether a person was present at a specific location.
DNA profiling is one of the most powerful tools available in forensic science. A single DNA profile can confirm a person's identity, link a person to a crime scene or rule someone out entirely. Modern profiling methods allow our specialists to work with very small or degraded samples, making it possible to obtain results from items where only trace amounts of DNA remain.
Forensic chemistry examines unknown substances or trace materials to find out what they are and why they're present. This is useful for suspected drug use in the home, discovery of unidentified powders or pills, safety concerns involving possible toxins, or questions about whether a substance is illegal.
Forensic toxicology determines whether substances such as drugs, alcohol or poisons are (or were) present in the body. It helps answer concerns about secret drug use by a partner or employee, substances contributing to unusual behaviour, or whether someone was given something without their knowledge.
The type of sample examined can influence what the results show:
The level of a detected substance and the context of the incident/situation can help toxicologists form a picture as to whether substances contributed to a crime, an accident or a medical emergency. This distinction matters in situations involving a suspected overdose, allegations of drug-facilitated assault, and even deaths where poisoning is suspected.
At Lyonswood, forensic analysis is never just about ticking boxes. It's about ensuring evidence is accurate, impartial, and properly explained.
