Complex Evidence, Examined Together
Complex cases rarely turn on a single source of evidence. Witnesses, digital evidence, locations, timelines, surveillance, and forensic findings must be developed and evaluated together.
IRIS combines traditional investigation with digital forensics to identify, collect and analyze evidence from multiple sources.
The result is a more complete evidentiary picture that reveals where further investigation can have the greatest impact.

What Sets IRIS Apart
Advanced Digital Evidence Recovery
Combining device repair, advanced forensic recovery, and current extraction technology to access evidence from damaged, locked, legacy, or previously inaccessible devices—and create new investigative opportunities.
Litigation-Focused
Translating investigative and forensic findings into clear, usable information through non-technical explanations and expert testimony.
Responsive When Timing Matters
Acting quickly when evidence, witnesses, surveillance opportunities, or digital sources may become unavailable.
Difficult Witness & Evidence Development
Locating hard-to-find witnesses, uncovering overlooked evidence, and pursuing difficult leads where new facts can change the direction of a case.
Thorough & Persistent
Cold-case and post-conviction experience has reinforced a core IRIS approach: pursue viable lines of inquiry, challenge assumptions, and follow the facts wherever they lead—work that has contributed to preventing and overturning wrongful convictions.
Experienced, persistent professionals focused on developing the facts that matter.
Digital Evidence Leadership & Public Service
Through his work with public defenders, IRIS founder Mike Udvardy developed and implemented practical digital-evidence solutions, training, and resources for attorneys and investigators—improving case outcomes and helping prevent and overturn wrongful convictions.
Mike founded the Digital Innocence Initiative to expand nationally an approach already shown in practice to improve public-defense casework—applying core digital-evidence fundamentals early and giving more defense professionals the guidance and resources needed to act.
He developed the National Digital Evidence Readiness Framework for Public Defense as a repeatable process attorneys and investigators can use now—without prior technical expertise. The free Digital Evidence Toolbox supports that process with working resources, while DII connects participating public defender agencies through a growing national coalition.
