Heartfelt Testimonial
I am a current client who recently reached out to Attorney Kevin Patrick Seaver in the fall/winter season to represent me with a dcf family matter involving my child. I believed it was best to make sure that a professional handled everything so that I was not taken advantage of by the system. My g...
Thank you for the kind words. We deeply appreciate this, "I could not be happier with my decision to have Attorney Seaver and his strong, assertive, hard-working team represent me! They made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and kept me informed every step of the way. They were extremely flexible with my work travel schedule and was happy to correspond via email/phone as in-person meetings would be hard for me to accommodate. Also, Attorney Seaver and his team of attorneys also helped accommodate my availability with dcf which have aid in my work/life balance."

No other lawyer would pick up my case in short notice, but Attorney Seaver took my case. Upon taking my case he has given me a fair hearing and ...

Best Attorney Ever
First of all I want to tell everyone that if you need an attorney Kevin Seaver is the person. He helped me get my case closed and I couldn’t be happier not have DCF in my life anymore.

My wife and I hired Kevin to advise and represent us with a DCF assessment. We found Kevin online and from the first conversation we knew we had a real pro. Kevin was knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive (weekends, weeknights, and holidays). His critical advice and involvement in our case resulted...
Thank you for the kind words Tom. We appreciate this, "His critical advice and involvement in our case resulted in a closed case after only 3 short home visits over the course of 3 months. Needless to say, we are very happy with the outcome of the assessment, are excited to have the stress of it behind us, and our family is grateful we selected Kevin to support us through the process. We would highly recommend The Law Office of Kevin Seaver to any family that finds themselves in the unfortunate position that we did."
