Kevin - A friend in need who help, supports you in difficult time

Going thru a DCF case is tough for individual and family. While DCF follows the process/law, it is the parent/care giver/family who goes thru pain. In this troubled time you seek an advisor, a friend who can support you, guide you and be with you when needed most. Kevin is the friend you would want ...on your side in such situation. With Kevin along side you, he prepares, guide, brings clarity in you to put precise facts, defeat lies / half truth and defend your case with confidence. It is only with his help , we as family were able to deal with difficult situation. Can not thank him and his team enough. Using his 30+ years of experience dealing with such cases, Kevin and his team are approachable, responsive (phone, text, email) and takes ownership of your case. Kevin conducts 1:1 meetings as many as needed to prep you, that includes late afternoon/evening and if there is time crunch even on weekend. He and his team, who specialized in DCF cases, goes above and beyond to defend you. I would any day recommend Kevin.

A thankful client

This guy and his staff are the best. Attorney Seaver and his team worked so hard for my family and spared us a lot of grief… We were contacted by DCF with some serious allegations and didn’t know where to turn, a family friend recommended Kevin Seaver to me. So I contacted his office and he immed...iately got on the phone and told us what not to do. we went in for a meeting and he put us at ease, he explained what he was going to do for us . And got started right away. He is truly the only attorney you want when dealing with DCF. . Cause that is his entire practice. Our family got the results we needed to see DCF out the door….. Kevin thank you. You truly are like family now to all of us. !!!

Review. Again, I can't thank you and your staff enough for all you do.

Getting a call from DCF is one of the worst feelings in the world. I know I was blindsided and shocked. It's like being punched in the gut with your hands tied behind your back. You feel defenseless and hopeless. I immediately looked online to see what my best course of action was. Everyone was sayin...g to get an attorney because DCF is the last agency you want involved in your life. They can come in and take your kids for no other reason than because they want to. I was panicked. It was then I found Attorney Kevin Seaver and started reading the reviews. Attorney Seaver is no joke. He was almost always available immediately, he was available whenever I needed him, day or night, and I never waited longer than 45 minutes for him to call me back. Attorney Seaver guided me through the process of the DCF investigation flawlessly and effectively, and within days of my investigation, my case was closed. DCF does not want to see Attorney Seaver's name on your file because they know that you are fully protected. I would recommend Attorney Seaver to any parent, grandparent or caregiver who is faced with a DCF investigation. He knows DCF inside and out and is attentive to your case and makes you feel like you are his only client. I'm glad I called him and had nothing but a positive experience working with him. He gets an A+ in my book!
