Tireless and Dedicated Advocate for Families
The DCF blindsided our family. We called Attorney Seaver's office on a Saturday and expected to leave a message but instead ended up speaking to Kevin for an hour that day. He passionately and thoroughly explained what we were up against, and we hired him right away. Throughout the process always ...
Thank you for the kind words. We appreciate this, "He was involved in every call and visit from DCF. His team was friendly and accommodating. Ultimately, DCF ended its involvement with our family quickly. We owe this to Kevin and his team. If you hire him, you're hiring an ally and a defender. He made a very difficult process bearable and manageable."

My thoughts about Attorney Seaver. . .
Hello to all those reading my review. I’d like to publicly thank Attorney Kevin Seaver (https://www.seaverdcflawyer.com) for his assistance to myself and my family during a DCF investigation. No one really knows the rippling negative effects of a DCF case, until it happens to them. An innocent com...
Thank you for these kind, kind words. I appreciate you saying that you recognized my experience in dealing with DCF. I am so thrilled I could provide you with answers, reassurance, and just an overall huge relief. I thank you for saying that I provided you with "excellent" legal service, and how I prevented DCF from digging into other areas of your life. I am honored to have helped you win your case. Again, I thank you for these heartfelt words and you taking the time to share your experience.

Highly recommend
Kevin Seaver is one of the best lawyers to have in your corner when DCF is in your life. It’s unheard of for a lawyer of his status to provide a flat rate in terms of fees for legal counsel. Doesn’t charge hourly, it’s a flat rate. If he charged hourly, he would make far more money. But it’s not abou...
Daniel, I am so happy you felt as though I was "one of the best lawyers to have in your corner when DCF is in your life". I also appreciate you stating it's "unheard of for a lawyer of his status to provide a flat fee". It is very kind of you to say that "it is not about the money" and "he actually cares". I am so thrilled you felt as though "Hiring attorney Seaver was the best decision my family ever made when DCF became involved in our lives" and "He knows the law and uses it to best protect you and your family.", as well as getting the "best legal advice one could obtain." And lastly "we are forever grateful as it is rare to ever find a lawyer as exceptional as he is." I am so deepy grateful for these very kind words Daniel, Thank you.

51A Daycare provider investigation
Hi, My name is Kate. I am a daycare provider. Recently my staff accused me falsely for child abuse. As they were scared they will be accused for it by my parents. But the truth was totally different. I hired Kevin once DCF raided my Daycare and involved police in it. I was totally in shock and took t...

You and your family deserved such relief. Thank you for your kind words, Kate.

The real deal
I don’t think people really understand that with Attorney Seaver this is not a 9-to-5 job for him. He lives and breathes for his clients around the clock. His top priority is helping people regain their lives while dealing with all of DCFS tricks. This is something he gets a lot of joy and satisfa...
