Serious Allegations of Children Sexual Abuse are reversed
I went through real hard situation in my life for past 3 years. But today it is the best day in my life and I have a chance to see my children again. During my divorce I was accused of my children’s sexual abuse. I have two daughters 3 and 4 at the time when I was accused. I was accused of raping t...
So sorry you “went through a real hard situation “ with DCF during your assessment and later two Fair Hearings whereby it was alleged you sexually abused your two daughters twice. It was our extreme pleasure to fight these bogus, false fraudulent allegations for you against DCF. No one should have to go thru 3 years of DCF persecutions . The accusations came “out of nowhere” and like in most instances were a “complete surprise”. I am also so sorry you had to be in such a “dark place” with potential “criminal charges” hanging over your head. This “shock” and feeling like a “monster “ is and was so unfair. Thank you for “highly recommending the law office of Kevin Patrick Seaver to fight for your children” on both appeals. I thank you for your phone call from the Middle East on New Years Eve. It brought tears to my eyes to know the impact and difference this has made in your lie and especially your children. I so wish you blue skies and much harmony, wisdom and time with your daughters this year. Again, thank you for the kind praise and belief in me and my “team”!!!

Call Attorney Seaver

Thank you for your kind words and for your review! I am glad you were able to walk through your DCF process with no stress and with ease of mind. I am sorry that DCF terrified your family, however your success means that a child was not taken and placed into DCF foster care. I wish you well moving forward with your family and I thank you again for choosing us to help you with your DCF issue!
