Definitely Hire Kevin Patrick Seaver
Attorney Kevin Seaver is an attorney that you should definitely hire if you are dealing with DCF. Attorney Seaver went above and beyond in a DCF case for my daughter. We were both given his cell phone number and were told to call anytime, no question is a stupid question, he was always there for us, ...

Replied last February 11, 2021Dear Sh, Thank you for the kind five-star review. I am glad I was able to help your family during your involvement with MA DCF. Getting the false allegations of neglect reversed and the MA DCF Assessment closed was the highlight of my day. The flat fee I offer clients is great because I truly believe it turns my clients into an asset instead of an enemy. Clients do not get surprises in the mail (a bill) for all of the communication. This communication is critical to winning a DCF case and the flat fee makes this even more possible. Again, thank you and it was a pleasure to represent your family and getting the right result!

The only choice for taking on DCF
Attorney Seaver is passionate about his work on behalf of his clients. There is literally no one else in the field with his depth of knowledge and experience. He focuses on this area rather than try to be a jack of all trades, as most lawyers do. The result is that he is exceptionally well versed; he...
