About this service

Support for lawyers & private investigators

In a legal case, one detail found in time can change the direction: a published document, a trace online, or a prior tie between the parties nobody noticed.

I work alongside lawyers and private investigators: locating documents and traces from open sources, testing whether the other side’s claims hold water, and presenting each finding with its source so you can decide how to use it.

The work is strictly confidential, and it complements the work of the firm or the investigator rather than replacing it.

When you need it

When clients come to me

  • When a case needs documents or traces
  • When the other side’s claim looks weak and needs testing
  • When there may be a prior tie between the parties
  • When a party to proceedings or assets for enforcement need locating

How it works

From information to intelligence, in four steps

  1. 01

    Define the question

    What exactly do you need to know, and for which decision?

  2. 02

    Collect and analyze

    I gather from every relevant open source, filter out the noise and cross-check the findings.

  3. 03

    The deliverable

    A business intelligence report, an intelligence picture or a direct answer, with conclusions and recommendations.

  4. 04

    You decide

    You act on a clear, verified picture.

All FAQs
How are findings presented?

Each finding comes with its source and a clear mark of what is fact and what is assessment, so your lawyer can weigh how to use it.

Do you also work with private investigators?

Yes. Private investigators are among my regular clients, and open-source research complements their field work.

How is confidentiality kept?

The client’s name and the case subject stay secret, and invoices show only a reference number. Confidentiality policy.

Facts vs. assessments

Analytic thinking

A ground rule of intelligence analysis: separate what is known from what is estimated, and go back to the original raw data when an old assessment starts behaving like a fact.

Open-source intelligence

OSINT · Core concept

Collecting and analyzing information that has been published openly and legally: media, social networks, websites and official publications. The value is never in a single piece of information, but in cross-checking many of them.

What is OSINT

Client confidentiality

Policy

The client’s name and the subject of the research stay confidential. The invoice shows only a reference number, and once paid in full, the research belongs to the client.
