Our Story

Over 30 years of experience.

After losing a family member in the 9/11 attacks, I spent 7 years rededicating myself to defending other people from domestic terrorists. Equipped with exceptional skills, investigative experiences and interactions with different levels of government and court systems; I applied my unique knowledge within the field of open source information to help design a five-day scenario-based workshop on Al Qaeda’s threats. This workshop taught investigators and law enforcement analysts how to process evidence that can lead to neutralizing terrorist operatives in the US.
Returning to my core investigative business these past couple of years, I was a team leader in developing the investigative action plans for the BP fraud cases.
The majority of my investigations are now in-depth background investigations or due diligence on people and businesses for attorneys, businesses and individuals. I gather the information so my clients are able to ask the right questions, make meaningful decisions and arrive at the best resolution.

Education

Following a degree in Criminal Justice from the University of South Florida, I took a master’s course at the Nova Southeastern University. I have been attending bi-annual investigative training seminars since 1984.

Skills

To provide high-quality services, I use my expertise in navigating proprietary, public, and government computer databases.

“Jean is a subject-matter expert for open-source investigations. She teaches our law enforcement officers to build cases using public records and the internet.”
“Typically, the police are too busy to handle fraud cases. That’s why our firm hires Mignolet Business Research Consultants. They know what’s legal. They are thorough, and they stick to a budget.”
Prior to purchasing a company, I had Jean investigate the owners. She also worked with the company’s accountant who was preparing the financials. Her background checks found things the sellers did not disclose, which helped me decide not to buy the business.
