Iris Technologies

Litigation Support

 

Iris Technologies has been providing sophisticated and ethical engineering services to the legal community for more than 10 years. Our services cover all aspects of scientific and technical consultation including case review, development of factual expert opinions and the delivering of deposition and court room testimony. Iris team members also have extensive experience with arbitration and mediation proceedings, and can provide extensive and unbiased management of the technical aspects of a complex legal matter. In addition, Iris Technologies has provided independent expert services to technically-complex federal and district cases across the country. The conclusions reached by Iris Technologies are impartial and based on knowledge derived from observations, experience, applied research, experimentation, and non-destructive and intrusive testing services. At Iris Technologies, we believe that a technical expert is defined by the depth of actual industry experience and pertinent and accredited training received well before that individual is employed in the forensic arena, and this policy ensures that our team members avoid advocacy science and can successfully defend court challenges.
