Intelligence and recognizance for attorneys and law firms.
Open-source intelligence gathering for litigation
OpnIntel provides open source intelligence (OSINT) services tailored specifically for attorneys and law firms. Operated by a licensed attorney, OpnIntel understands the critical role accurate, timely, and defensible intelligence plays in litigation strategy and case outcomes.
By leveraging publicly available data sources, OpnIntel conducts focused intelligence and reconnaissance to support investigations, due diligence, and case development. Our legal background allows OpnIntel to identify what information is relevant, how it should be contextualized, and how it can be effectively integrated into your legal strategy.
OpnIntel delivers clear, concise, and actionable intelligence—so legal teams can make informed decisions with confidence. We bridge the gap between raw data and legal insight, ensuring that intelligence gathering is aligned with the practical realities of litigation and the ethical standards of the legal profession.
Services
OSINT can provide valuable information for divorce and timesharing cases by using publicly available information that can clarify disputed facts and support case strategy by identifying undisclosed assets, income sources, and lifestyle indicators that may conflict with discovery. These factors assist in building your case on parental conduct, consistency, and representations relevant to the best interests of the child.
Family & matrimonial law
Open source intelligence may assist in evaluating claim representations by identifying prior accidents, inconsistent injury claims, undisclosed employment or income, and publicly documented activities that may contradict alleged limitations. Public records, social media activity, online postings, and business affiliations can help clarify timelines, establish patterns of conduct, and support or challenge claimed damages.
Litigation support
By analyzing corporate records, public filings, online presence, and other open sources, OSINT helps attorneys verify representations, identify potential red flags, and assess transactional risk before closing. At OpnIntel, OSINT is gathered and presented with an understanding of legal standards and confidentiality, providing clear and actionable intelligence to support informed decision-making in commercial matters.

Your Questions, Answered
-
We offer open-source intelligence gathering geared towards assisting you and your client in advancing their claim.
-
While open source information is publicly available, identifying what matters, where to look, and how to interpret it requires experience and methodology. Effective OSINT is not about locating isolated facts—it is about collecting, verifying, analyzing, and documenting information in a way that is accurate, defensible, and useful for decision-making.
An experienced OSINT firm applies structured research techniques to uncover relevant data that is often overlooked, obscured, or fragmented across multiple sources. We evaluate credibility, preserve source integrity, establish timelines, and present findings clearly and efficiently, saving clients significant time and reducing the risk of incomplete or misleading information.
When OSINT is conducted by legal professionals, the work is guided by an understanding of ethical obligations, evidentiary standards, and how intelligence will ultimately be used. The result is not raw data, but actionable intelligence tailored to the specific legal or business context.
-
Absolutely — open source intelligence relies on materials placed in the open world by the originator of the information. OSINT done properly does not access any computer systems of the subject.
