Hire Attorney Seaver right away, do not wait
I highly recommend Attorney Seaver. Do not wait until it's too late to hire him. From the minute you receive any contact from DCF that a case is opened, you need to take the required steps necessary to keep your family intact. If you wait or even second guess hiring Attorney Seaver, you are in danger...

DCF experience
Hiring Attorney Seaver was the best choice I could have made during my encounter with DCF. I received a phone call stating there was a case opened on me for neglect. I was in complete shock and I had no idea how to go about it, like anyone I started researching online and just read horror stories of ...

Amazing DCF Lawyer
We started the process with DCF without a lawyer and after some research we realized this would not go in our favor if we went at this alone. After some more research we found Kevin and his staff. We were able to go through the process with less stress. He was there for us to answer any questions w...

Absolutely Amazing
Attorney Kevin Seaver provided me with a step-by-step plan of action on how to fight my false allegations with DCF. I left his office after 1 meeting with an entire layout on how he was going to approach my case and what steps were going to be taken and when. I received more communication, more inf...
Thank you for the five-star review. Communication with a client is the foundation to a successful result. I am glad that you found that communication to be easy and effective. I offer clients a flat fee for the exact reason that you mentioned. A client is an Attorney's best asset. With the flat fee, it gave you the opportunity to reach me and provide all the information we needed to successfully get you false neglect allegations overturned without you being billed for every interaction. Along with this, a solid game plan is crucial to getting your successful result. Again, I am happy that this all came together and we were able to successfully overturn your allegations and get your MA DCF Assessment closed.
