An Attorney that is Above & Beyond

To say Kevin Seaver and his team are great attorneys is an understatement! As they helped our family through the most traumatic event of our lives. He is knowledgeable, professional, committed, and attentive. Many would agree that a five-star rating cannot adequately showcase his level of expertise (...he deserves more). He made himself available to us 24-7, even giving us his personal cell phone number. He attended every home assessment. And he successfully removed DCF from our lives! Our family is happy with the outcome of the assessment and ready to resume our lives. I recommend that anyone dealing with DCF, hire Kevin Seaver and his team!

Great guy

I try to ask a question on his website i talked to someone else and he called me in 10 minutes to answer my questions about DCF. It was almost middle of the night. He answered pretty clear I didn’t need to search anything again or ask to another lawyer. Thank you Kevin!

Thank you Sarah for saying so many nice things about us . We deeply appreciate you for this, "Kevin Seaver took over and was on top of DCF. The case was closed successfully. I know this would never ever have happened if I did this on my own. Kevin Seaver gave me what I wanted in getting rid of DCF. He did everything that I asked and then some. Call Kevin Seaver if you have trouble with DCF. I am so glad I did ! Pinch me. DCF is gone ! I am beside myself and thank you Attorney Kevin Seaver for everything. Worth every penny!"

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...oal was to officially remove dcf out of my life as soon as possible so that I am able to prevent further disruption in my professional and personal life at home. Attorney Seaver and his lawyer reps Marian and Raymond are an amazing team of attorneys whom worked together with me with a goal of removing dcf out of my life within 4 to 5 months but successfully accomplished this goal within 8 weeks timeframe! If I had not chosen to invest in Attorney Seaver, dcf would still have me in the dark running in circles anxiously with the unknown and unexpected. 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. Attorney Seaver briefed me on what to expect, what to say, and even went above and beyond informing me on what my next steps are, how we will tackle my dilemma, and how we would prepare. Very well-prepared, organized, professional, respectful, personable man. Beyond being a highly skilled and extremely knowledgable lawyer, Attorney Seaver is set on getting it right the first time, which is a great quality and advantage for me because it saved me from ongoing searches for other lawyers and wasting unnecessary funds. I wouldn't have known where to start with my case without him! He takes his time and interacts with your experience followed by sound advice. I would not hesitate to send any of my family and friends to his services. He is a gem in the community. Thank you Attorney Kevin Seaver, in addition, attorneys Marian and Raymond, for all your hard work, for your flexibility in working with my travel schedule, for handling my case with such expertise, and most importantly, for making the entire process easy going! Very much appreciated. Stay safe and be well. Blessings.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
