I am a 1995 graduate of Drake University Law School, with honors. I did my undergraduate work at the University of Iowa, graduating in 1990 with a double major in political science and Russian language. My partner, Michael Clark, and I went to law school together and were prosecutors at the Des Moines County Attorney's Office before moving to private practice. We have 25 years of experience in criminal law, family law (including divorce and child custody) and other areas.

Professional, Personable, Knowledgeable, Efficient
I hired Scott for my custody case and I was not disappointed. My children’s father filed a petition to take them from me. I hired Scott to handle this matter for me, because their father was never around. I was shooting for supervised visits so my kids could get to know him, he made that happen. I sh...
It was a pleasure representing you and your family.

Child Custody
I had a previous attorney in my custody battle and felt I was getting demolished. Soon as I fired him and hired Scott the whole thing turned my way. The momentum picked up and he was in charge of the show. I felt more relief after hiring Scott. He is fierce. Needless to say in a short amount of time ...

I retained Mr. Schroeder for my child custody battle. Legal representation was strained. Deadlines were not communicated effectively. I wasn't kept up to date. Emails from myself, and the opposing side would go unanswered for days. I spend good money on Mr. Schroeder, found another attorney that...
This client was particularly difficult, as he often refused to listen to 20+ years of legal experience. He complained about numerous aspects of the law, including child support guidelines, and blamed his attorney when the other side rejected his proposals. I have many, many e-mails and phone messages between client and counsel to refute this person's claim of lack of communication. An unfortunate example of a parent who placed more importance on the financial aspects of having a child and threatening the other parent's new significant other than focusing on resolving the case. The client's case was finalized within days of my withdrawal, and no other attorney entered an appearance on his behalf, so client's claim that he hired a new attorney for a fraction of the cost is, shall we say, lacking in credibility.

Competent and Effeciant
Scott has been my only attorney for around 9 years. I heard about him from a friend who refered to him as the best laywer in Burlington (along with his now partner Michael Clark). He first reperesented me in a child custody matter. Where I got everything I wanted and expected. He has taken good care ...
