Understanding Your Rights During a DCF Investigation | DCF Lawyer Insights Week 2

Описание: In this episode of DCF Lawyer Insights, Attorney Kevin Seaver’s office explains the key rights every parent should know during a Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) investigation. Many parents feel powerless when DCF becomes involved, but you have important rights that can protect your family and your case. You have the right to know the allegations against you, the right to legal representation, the right to remain silent, and the right to remain innocent. You can also request that the DCF worker meet your children on the porch to confirm their safety. Understanding and asserting these rights early can make a major difference in how your case is resolved.

You’ll also learn:
The most important rights parents have during a DCF investigation
Why you should always ask for the specific allegations in writing
How to protect your children’s privacy during home visits
The importance of having an attorney from the start of your DCF case
How early legal intervention can improve your outcome

The Law Office of Kevin Patrick Seaver successfully represents anyone involved with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF).

We will represent you and your children anywhere in the state of Massachusetts in cases involving DCF. This includes both in court and out of court representation.

I will prepare you and your children before the DCF home visit. The DCF home visit may include an interview, investigation, or assessment of you and your children. I will be physically present during the DCF visit. I will also be physically present when DCF meets with both you and your children.

One of the biggest mistakes I have seen throughout the years are parents/caretakers trying to represent themselves in fighting DCF.

DO NOT DO IT ALONE.

You and your children should always be represented by a lawyer when speaking to DCF.
