Straight to the point!

My experience with Seth is that he is a very knowledgeable and down to earth attorney. Very responsive to say the least! Due to Seth's expertise, I had an impressively short custody battle. As a father in the family court, I had very little confidence in gaining custody. Seth reassured me that I ...had a strong case. Seth is an honest attorney who works hard for his clients--he was very precise and detailed in spotting out some not so obvious inconsistencies in my child support case. I’m sure that Seth will ensure the best possible outcome to any type of litigation within the family courts--with the child/children in mind as the priority. Highly recommended!

Can I tell Seth gave me my life back after being severely abused and surviving and getting to a safe space. Seth took over I was so afraid he handled everything he did everything in court and saved my life. I cannot thank him enough . From the beginning of our court proceedings to the end Seth took o...ver got me all I deserved plus extra without me asking he is an expert in his field and I was amazed at how easy he made a difficult situation he is on your side I was extremely impressed he is awesome if I new how amazing he is I would probably have left my abusive situation earlier I did not no how much help is out there to help in domestic violence situations . Seth by God’s grace saved my life . If anyone is ready to turn there life around and leave your abusive situation Seth Schraier is your man !!!!

I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer.

Mr. Schraier is an amazing lawyer who helped me in my Custody/Visitation court case proceedings and I have say he did such a great job, he kept me in the loop, I was able to communicate to him about things that was happening throughout the case, We had one on one conversations about important ideas o...n what actions/steps I needed take to better my chances in court and he was there to give good advice. All in all I will say Mr. Schraier is a great lawyer, a really nice person and I couldn’t have ask for a better representative to help me win my case.

Visitation Case

I have worked with Seth on my case regarding violation of petition for Visitation. Everything that has occurred to my liking or not within my case was expressed by Seth to benefit me and my family. He took it and delivered the message and stood firm even when I was a bit nervous about how it would en...d up. He assured me that my case would be handled properly and would cease in the right light which it did. I am glad to recommend his services to anyone who is looking into him. Court is never an easy situation and can be stressful. But he has always taken the time to address my concerns which is something to be appreciated.
