The mere thought of what could happen (having our daughter taken away) made me continually nauseous. We knew we needed to protect our daughter, our family, our jobs and our rights. As soon as we got home that evening, I immediately began researching the laws and a 51A investigation. I also started searching for an attorney who could protect our interests. I found the web site for the law office of Attorney Kevin Seaver. I found his web site to be informative and well constructed. I read through the testimonials and fair hearing memoranda and was impressed with what I saw. I knew we needed Attorney Seaver on our side.

Attorney Seaver is a gifted individual and he has many personal and professional attributes that have made him one of the finest lawyers of Massachusetts. Besides being what and who he is when it comes to conducted a case with DCF, what surprised me the most about Attorney Seaver is his real commitment to the best interest of the children involved in our case. In essence, he not only served me, his client he also served my children.

[Our daughter] needed to step out of regular life and really get intensive therapy and be made to think about her choices and consequences. All this was in place and that was stressful enough, [but] we were shocked and scared when we received a letter from DCF with a case with these concerns. We work so very hard to take good care of all our four children it really hurt to the core. We had Attorney Seaver sit with us during our first meeting [with DCF and he and his assistant] together put my husband and I at ease, made us laugh and reiterated what hard working, loving parents we are. Mr. Seaver stepped in at times to intervene necessary information which was so very helpful. He made it very clear we were doing everything we could to help our daughter and the rest of the family. At the end of our meeting, the DCF employee said she would suggest the case to be closed as we were taking all the right steps.
J & J

I would like to take the time to thank you Kevin for the help you provided me at my time of need. The manner in which you handled my case went beyond professionalism, and your advice and legal representation is exactly what I needed. I was particularly impressed with your comprehensive expertise in manners related to the Department of Children and Families (DCF) and your practical experience and familiarity with DCF that allowed you to adopt a correct approach and a swift and final resolution to the false allegations that were made against me.
Mike

I believe your knowledge of how the Department of Children and Families and Family Court work was critical in the positive outcome. Through your guidance we were able to dispute and disprove every charge that was levied against me. You knew who else was needed to help with my case and brought them on board. These people were specialized in their areas and were critical [to my case].
A.

Your work exceeded our expectations. We found you to not only be highly competent and extremely knowledgeable about this specialized area of law but also to be highly ethical and compassionate. Without a doubt your many years of training and experience helped us achieve a positive outcome.
K.M.

I m writing this letter for the excellence and commitment that Kevin Patrick Seaver has provided me through an extremely difficult time in my life. He has provided me with uncontested professional legal counsel, which in turn gave me a great sense of security, direction, and hope. I was faced with a situation that seemed at the time was going to destroy my life. I knew I had to get legal help. I searched the greater Boston area extensively. When I met with Kevin I knew I found the right firm.
Steve

Thank you for your hard work and help in dealing with [DCF]. Both you and your assistant Donna made a difficult and stress full situation manageable. Your office should be the first call anyone unfortunate enough to have to deal with [DCF] should make, for any reason.
G & D

I've been searching for the most powerful, accurate, and simple sentence that describes how much Kevin and [his assistant] have helped me – they saved my life. Without their expertise, patience, and support you would not be reading this right now because I would not have a testimonial to write if my case was not reversed.
A.

Kevin, over the two years we have known each other I have developed an amount of respect for you that is indescribable. You have also become my friend. What you have done for me and my family far exceeds any financial relationship. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your much-needed assistance.
Will

I found Kevin online but was reluctant to use him as I knew nothing about him. Then my sister mentioned my story to a friend who actually used Kevin and had nothing but good things to say. I decided to go with him and am happy I did. The supported charges against me were overturned. Throughout the process, Kevin and his assistant were reassuring and helpful in every way.
Jill

If you are going through a divorce and your soon to be X introduces the "child abuse" angle into your divorce and gets DCF involved, you need some serious legal help. If you go to your doctor and find out you have cancer, you go to a cancer specialist. If you are getting divorced and you get "child abuse" allegations trhown at you, that is the ultimate legal cancer." And for this you need the best specialist in the area, Kevin Seaver.
Harold

After engaging a multitude of purported legal experts to assist me in this crisis, I was very fortunate to find the right captain, Attorney Kevin Patrick Seaver and crew, to navigate my case before DCF and ultimately clear my name successfully. I don't have to tell you what heavy emotional, psychological and financial toll this storm has extracted before I found the right team of people to help me and arrive at a safe harbor.
Victor

Thank you for your assistance with regard to my family matter. Your knowledge in DCF matters, as well as your attention, guidance, support and dependability, provided me with comfort and the confidence I needed to deal with an extremely difficult emotional and legal situation.
Sue

I would like to thank you for everything you have done for myself and myt family. When I was told a 51A was filed against me I felt as though the world was collapsing around me. When my wife found your website we immediately felt that you were the one to represent us. You immediately went to work and took care of everything for us. I could not have asked for better representation. Again I want to tahnk you Attorney Seaver for everything you have done for us. I can't iumagi8ne where I would be now without your help.
R.

It took one phone call from The Department of Social Services . . . to railroad my life like a steam locomotive . . . . Fortunately, for me and more importantly for the sake of my children, I chose to retain Kevin Patrick Seaver as my attorney. That was the best decision I ever made. Kevin is most definitely a cut above the rest and his representation is unparalleled to that of any other . . . . Kevin will and always does litigate feverishly for his clients and will always go out of his way to offer the best that he can.
Peter

Kevin was truly a Godsend. He met with me and heard my story, and promised to work tirelessly to get my children home. He kept this promise and did even more.
Barbara

As someone who works in the legal field, I realized I needed legal representation and contacted Kevin. He reviewed my situation, advised me how to deal with service plans, the DCF social worker and how to get through a very stressful time for myself and my children.
Christine

Kevin was a true professional throughout my ordeal as he returned messages promptly, kept me informed of developments, and answered my questions thoroughly and honestly. Kevin is a person you can coiunt on to give you quality service.
Ron
Attorney Seaver was responsive and quick to provide us with practical counsel and assistance. He educated us on the process that would take place and was proactive in dealing directly with the Department of Children and Families on our behalf. Attorney Seaver and his team followed through and provided an anchor of support through the process.
V

Atty. Seaver always made himself available by phone and returned calls very promptly. His Paralegal also became utterly indispensable to me, in more ways than I can express . . . . I am indebted to Atty. Seaver's ever relentless defense.
Sue

When we first came to [Attorney Seaver] with our DSS troubles it seemed that there were simply no hopes of dealing with our difficulties. . . . We had spent many hours trying to fight the system on our own and were stonewalled at every turn . . . . [Attorney Seaver's] guidance, preparation and advice along with a realistic cautious optimism provided comfort and a hope that there may be a way to get to the truth.
Roy

Kevin, you gave me the ground rules of what to expect and what not to expect, but being the person that I am, I'm sure you will remember that I had my own 'visions' of what I wanted. You very kindly tried to explain to me that my 'visions' were not entirely within the legal system, (and here's where you won me over), you told me you would try your hardest to get me what I wanted.
Diane

When my wife and I first came into your office, we didn't know anything about DCF. After the first interview we knew you were the person for the job. You helped clarify the charges and took the time to explain how the system works as you guided us through a veryt tough time and helped us clear up the false allegations.
R & D

If you are looking for someone who cares about children and families - both biological and otherwise, someone with experience in court, and most importantly someone you can trust, you should look to Attorney Kevin Seaver.
Gaye

[My family] and I wanted to extend our greatest thanks to you and your staff for all your efforts in makiung the adoption of [our son] become a reality. Through trials and tribulations, your devoted attention to this case helped make it a dream come true for our whole family.
C. and Family

I have found Attorney Seaver to be a skillful and practiced lawyer in DCF matters, and am quite pleased with his services. Attorney Seaver was able to quickly understand and appreciate my urgent issues with DCF. I am convinced that he handled my matter with the greatest efficiencies and expertise.
Chris
We are so glad we made that call to your office to help us during our nightmare. We want to thank you for your time and kindness.
Kevin and Brenda

Kevin Seaver not only met my expectations, he exceeded in some ways what should be expected of him. He was able to navigate me into the right direction to accomplish the goal I was trying to reach. I value not only his ability to be a professional lawyer, but also for adding the personal touch that made you feel like a friend.
Glenn

If you love and value your child/grandchild and this happens to you please hire the best attorney you can and for me that attorney was Kevin Seaver. Thanks Kevin, from a grandmother who cared enough to get the best for her grandchild.
Sandy

Attorney Seaver informed us of our legal rights as parents and we finally felt as though we could cooperate with D.S.S. and not feel threatened any longer . . . . When our case was called in Court, we were extremely impressed with Attorney Seaver handling of our case . . . he knew all the intricate parts of our case as if we had been clients for years.
Denise & Joe

We are horrified to think what would have happened to this child if it weren't for the efforts of Kevin. We truly believe that he saved our son from becoming a statistic. Kevin and Donna are an amazing team. We are blessed to have known them and will always be grateful for their efforts on our son's behalf.
Dianne

It's because of you I will be with [my son] in '07. It's because of you, '07 will be one of the best years of my life. My family will be reunited.
Sam

Thanks to your help [our child] has returned home and our case is closed.
Norman and Kami

Your professional advice, words of wisdom, kindness, and honesty is very helpful. Thank you.
Donna

You made something that never seemed possible happen and for this we are truly grateful. A close family friend gave us your name and said if anyone could settle this [adoption] case it would be Kevin Patrick Seaver. It had seemed there was no end in sight and this poor child would be living in limbo for the rest of her life. Then in December 2006 my husband and I sat with you and drafted an adoption agreement. We owe this adoption to Kevin Patrick. We are truly thankful for everything you did to make this day happen, and we will never forget everything you did for us.
J & J
We were devastated when allegations were made about us to DSS. We were not sure which way to turn but we knew we were going to need help defending ourselves. I looked on line for a lawyer and Kevin's website was the first I came to; it was very informative and made it clear that he was well versed in dealing with DSS issues. We really cannot say enough about what Kevin did for us, or how satisfied we were with dealing with him. While we would not wish to have been put in the position of needing his services, we really are pleased with the outcome of having hired him. His service and expertise is worth every penny.
M.S.

After DCF supported a claim of neglect against me, I knew I had to seek legal assistance quickly. I could not believe this was happening to my family. I met and spoke with three attorneys within a week. After my initial meeting wth Attorney Seaver, my husband and I knew he was the attorney for the job. He was straight to the point. He explained how the process works and gave
us great advice on how to deal with the situation whether we hired him or not. We left his office
feeling confident that Attorney Seaver would get the claim overturned.
A & K

Attorney Seaver was extremely helpful in working with me to resolve my case with [DCF]. His professionalism, expertise and personal approach were a tremendous asset to me and my family during a trying time. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who needs someone on their side when dealing with such an intimidating process.
Paula

Thank you for successfully resolving my issue. I am forever grateful.
Mary

[Attorney Kevin Patrick Seaver] won the case, and had DCF out of [our] lives, and out of my heart. A gift I can never return. Attorney Seaver worked in a professional and timely manner, did everything he said he would, and more, and at times personal comments were made to me that were uplifting and genuine like you would hear from a friend. For all this I am truly grateful.
Paul

Kevin’s written work product is of superior quality and his oral argument is both sophisticated in its simplicity and persuasive by its presentation. Besides bringing to bear the abilities of a highly skilled trial attorney, Kevin’s representation also comes with his team of respected and credible experts….[They are] an unbeatable combination. Quite simply, Kevin Seaver is one of the better trial attorneys that I have seen after practicing law for twenty years myself. If you want further information about Kevin, ask him for my name and number and I will be glad to answer any questions you may have regarding his representation of me.
Lou

Recently my husband and I had allegations brought against us via DCF. We have raised all of our children - but one - into adult hood with NO problems - so when this came up we felt our reputation and clean record would speak volumes and take care of the problem. We were wrong. Please know if you are in the type of situation there is help !! Don't give up - make that phone call and know that there is a chance. From the bottom of my heart, I thank Attorney Seaver for going the extra mile !!
Lisa

As a client of Kevin Patrick Seaver’s law practice, I can wholeheartedly recommend their services to any one in need of assistance with social service difficulties. Kevin and his team responded quickly and was accurate and timely with their support. When an item on the agenda needed pursuing, the team accomplished the task well within the deadlines. Of importance to me, not knowing exactly what to expect, was Kevin’s judgment on what to expect, what items did not make sense given the situation and how to correct misperceptions and erroneous fact in a timely fashion. The team was disciplined in process but efficient with the use of client monies. Again I recommend Kevin and his team as they truly made my life easier during these months and ultimately took the outcome to the successful conclusion that they thought possible.
John

I am writing this letter to thank you for the tremendous help on my case. You and your assistant worked very hard on gathering all the documents together, and did everything you could to provide the best service to me as a client. You really pushed to the top for everything. I am very happy and satisfied with the result! There is no word can express my thanks enough. You are simply the best attorney who can provide the top quality of service. I feel so lucky to choose you above all others!
Karen

I wanted to thank you so very very much for all of your hard work, and many, many hours that you put forth in helping … gain custody (from DSS) of my granddaughter. You don't know how forever grateful I am and always will be to you in your sincere and tireless efforts … to see that … be placed where it was only natural and fitting for her to be, in a warm, nurturing and loving home.
Sandy J.

Our foster child had been scheduled to move to the home of a relative, for the purpose of adoption. We approached Attorney Seaver with concerns regarding the proposed placement, and its appropriateness for our foster child. Despite our concerted efforts, supported by fact, to appeal to DSS, they seemed determined to "stick" with their decision of "kinship" placement. Attorney Seaver was undeterred by their stance, and he ultimately proved what we had known all along; that this child would not be served by placement in this kinship home. He put a face on our foster child, she became so much more than a name and relation. As a result, DSS reversed its original decision, and we are moving forward with the adoption of this precious child.
