“I worked for the Law Office of Kevin Seaver three days a week for 15 weeks in the Spring of my Senior year. Along with 8 other individuals, I quickly found my place in a fast-moving, hard-working, and detail-oriented law office environment. Due to the sheer interest in the internship position, I was unsure if I would make the cut to be brought on to the team. However, Attorney Seaver met me personally and made me feel like I could bring something to the table, being transparent in his expectations as well as the goals an intern should set for themselves. Attorney Seaver treats his interns with the same respect and attention he provides to his clients, to that end they work very hard to ensure the work is up to his standards. His approach to an honest and hard-working life permeates to those around him, and you will find that you work harder in school and in your personal life due to this internship experience. This internship allowed me to gain insight that I believe many law students do not gain until after their second year of law school. Working with Attorney Seaver has given me deeper exposure to background legal assistance in compiling Findings of Facts and Rulings of Law manuscripts, submitted Summary Motions for Judgment on Pleadings, and developed briefs on various legal issues Attorney Seaver would delegate for us. This internship also offered me the chance to accompany Attorney Seaver to his other responsibilities; I sat second seat at the Boston Juvenile Court on multiple occasions and spoke with clients on the date of their hearings. I was also invited to other opportunities to meet with clients in Home Visits or investigators’ assessments, traveling to different towns in Massachusetts for one-on-one meetings. My understanding of the law now gives me the confidence to engage and excel in my own legal proceedings, as this experience gave me the toolkit to start off on my own career in law. Attorney Seaver also tasked me with revitalizing his marketing strategy. I was directly responsible for implementing a post-sharing system on Facebook to engage with Attorney Seaver’s followers as well as many Family Rights and Child Rights pages. I also worked closely with Attorney Seaver’s marketing team to implement key changes to his website, as well as in prospective client outreach services to ensure Attorney Seaver’s presence could be reached all over Massachusetts. This, in addition to a coordinated Facebook effort, resulted in the steady gain of followers that increased the Office’s web presence significantly. It is important to note that during this time the law office experienced a surge in 5-star reviews as well as continuous positive engagement across all groups on Facebook. Internet presence and marketing one’s self is a huge skill that isn’t taught at law school. Working with Attorney Seaver on marketing will show you the importance of self-representation and genuineness, and the importance of aligning your message with your personal philosophy. The office environment was comfortable and inviting. Attorney Seaver’s office provides openness that contributed directly to the spirit of collaboration and companionship I felt with the other interns. Everyone has a space to work, and as well has access to various amenities – the 5-minute walk to North Station makes it virtually impossible for anyone with Commuter Rail access to say they can’t make it for 8:30am. This internship will give back what you put in ten-fold – as a former intern I advise you to put in is 100% enthusiasm and effort. Attorney Seaver is a great lawyer with keen insight in how to read people. Working with him will show you how to become the best version of yourself, and if you spend the time to meet the level of dedication required, it will make you a better lawyer one day for it. I cannot recommend this experience enough, as the personal growth and satisfaction I gained during my semester at the Law Office of Kevin Seaver has paid dividends for my future”

“I had a memorable Summer working Monday through Friday full time with Attorney Seaver. I was the youngest in his office. I was initially intimidated by all the older, brilliant interns and staff. I can honestly say I do not think I will find another internship that is so hands on. I went to court with Attorney Seaver all summer. I was excited to sit side by side with Attorney Seaver in Court hearings. Going to these court hearings I got to be in front of judges, Clerks, Probation Officers, Court Officers, Attorneys and clients in a real court. ”
