DCF has a strategy and a plan, and it’s essential for families to have one too. Attorney Seaver emphasizes that you are under no obligation to speak to DCF immediately and should never sign documentation without legal review. Parents have constitutional rights, including the right to have an attorney present at any time. Understanding your rights and having a legal advocate ensures your safety, your children’s safety, and proper representation throughout the DCF process.

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.

Transcript:
My name is Kevin Patrick Seaver. I'm a DCF defense attorney. For the past 25 plus years, I've successfully represented clients all over the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in various matters involving DCF. When DCF knocks on your door, call Attorney Seaver. You must hear the following. You must have a strategy. Without a strategy, You have failed to plan and therefore you plan to fail. DCF has a strategy. They have a plan. You must have the same. DCF, when they come to your home, you are under no obligation to speak to them. Immediately call Attorney Siva. Do not sign any documentation until Attorney Siva has reviewed such documentation. You have constitutional rights. DCF will come out with what's called a parent's pamphlet. Inside that parent's pamphlet, it will advise you. You are entitled to the constitutional right of an attorney at any time. Exercise that. If DCF's telling you you need an attorney, listen carefully to them. The Department of Children and Families is not only an army of social workers, supervisors, area program managers, and area directors, along with lawyers, paralegals, and other support staff, along with nurses and therapists. They also happen to be a bunch of governmental agencies such as the local, state, and federal law enforcement, along with prosecutors, the District Attorney's Office, the U.S. Attorney's Office, as well as the Attorney General's Office. Also the courts where the information you give DCF can and at times will be used against you in a court of law, which could lead to even jail time. Be very careful with what you say to DCF. You want to make sure that you understand your legal rights. people don't know what their legal rights are. If you don't know what your legal rights are, you have no legal rights. And that includes your children.
