Dcf investigation

Atty. Kevin Seaver and her office provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention to all details of my case. Kevin Seaver attitude to the work he does not only saved my money at closing the case earlier than expected , it also helped me to avoid other problems. Normal...ly, i don’t even think about such problems ahead. Kevin knows them all and may foresee them, he is experienced enough to prevent them, and to give you the right advice on time, before you make your decision. He was very pro active in my case and he is not the type of lawyer that works for money - he works for the people! He will advocate and protect the legal rights of his client and will go above and beyond to ensure that his clients rights are protected. The best thing about him is that he is reachable and has open communication- being in this tough situation it was really nice of him to check on you making sure everything is ok. What a phenomenal Attorney. I can’t thank him enough for helping me with my case. I also admire how he present himself to dcf- He has this strong personality that so powerful! I have so far met two other lawyer but where playing mind games with me, didn’t help but made me confuse and this has made me doubt lawyers but not Kevin Seaver Kevin is the most incredible lawyer and person I have ever come across. He is completely dedicated to helping his clients, he is always ready to fight for you and what is right. If you didn't choose Kevin as your lawyer you are making a huge mistake, there is no other I would ever have on my side but Kevin Seaver! So, If you get caught in a situation like mine falsely accuse by your spouse to gain leverage of divorce and custody “ Kevin Seaver” is the perfect Attorney to hire and 100 % You will never regret it!

We thank you and truly appreciate your very kind, detailed review. Im so thrilled you feel we provided "Excellence service", as well as "saved money at closing the case earlier then expected". I appreciate your words stating we "go above and beyond and protect client's rights". It doesnt get any better then hearing the words "phenomenal attorney" and "most incredible lawyer ready to fight for you" im so glad you feel this way. I also very much appreciate you saying, "If you don't choose Kevin you are making a huge mistake".

False Allegation of Sexual Abuse

I was going through very intense divorce. Right before final hearing when the custody and divorce should've been finalized my ex filed false allegation of child sexual abuse using mandatory reporter. I was guilty in everyone eyes. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I always had faith in bef...ore in law enforcement, social services. But to my disbelief I found the DCF conducted sloppy investigation. They gave my case to inexperienced people and didn't have education to conduct investigation in such a serious case. I felt powerless. I contacted 5 attorney prior, however Attorney Seaver was the one who provided detailed defense plan. He shredded case worker arguments and showed inconsistencies in their testimony. Never go alone to DCF when accused. They may look innocent but will skew your words to change meaning of your sentences. Go with experienced Attny specialized in this type of cases.

Honorable servant to his clients

Kevin was compassionate and extremely supportive, he provided an impartial 3rd person perspective on not only my case with DCF, but with regards to my spouse who was conspiring for divorce using the State in an attempt to support her narrative. He helped me see who the real caregiver was (me). He w...orked tirelessly past the terms of his contract tilley case was closed (4 months!), was never rushed during our meetings for he stayed well beyond what is expected or required just to talk (and I wasnt paying hourly, last few visits pro bono as well). He has become more then just a mentor, but a friend that is always their when advise or support is needed. Only a few lawyers would ever give their personal cell phone # 's so you can contact them anytime, and Kevin is one of those when the situation is warranted. He really cares and his services go well beyond the scope of what you pay for, easily the best value from any lawyer when it's all said and done.
