Scott Patrick Semrau

Oh, where to start....my husband and myself had been foster parents for about 7 years. We adopted a special needs daughter that had issues and caused some legal problems. We had 2 amazing little boys that we were in the process of adopting after having for over 3 years and our daughter's special needs caused the removal of the boys. We as well as our daughter's therapist knew this was not right, so we started to fight the system. Since we were not technically the boys parents, it was a much bigger fight than anticipated. We contacted many attorney's and finally met with only a few. When we left Scott's office, we knew this was not his typical kind of cases, but we felt very confident that he was the person we trusted to help restore our family! We are happy to say, he helped us create new paths for families behind us that may deal with the same things. I believe we are the first ever to be awarded custody from DFACS of foster children to us individually. We finally this past week just finished the boys final adoption from the courts, with of course Scott's help! It was a learning process for all of us and we are very thankful for Scott's willingness to learn a whole new side of the system! Our boys know that he was fighting on our team and they think he is a hero! THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything you did to help our family. You have truly made a difference in 2 little boys lives that could have been much worse in the system.

I received literature from the Semrau Law firm which led me to research and find very possible reviews. The firm was very professional and friendly and kept me up to date with the case progress. Mr. Semrau was very knowledgeable and thorough. My case came to the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend Mr. Semrau's services.

My ex-wife filed for divorce a year ago and her lawyer filed a restraining order against me immediately before a visit to see my son, despite the fact I did not reside in the state, and having no specific previous conflict that merited such an action. I had a free consultation with Scott who was very good at listening and sympathetic, and I decided to retain his services. He acted quickly to negotiate the withdrawal of the petition for a restraining order. Subsequently, a fair parenting plan was negotiated, which allowed me to see my son and contact him regularly while out of state, which was much better than the situation prior to my ex-wife filing for divorce, which depended on her whims. Child support was a concern, as my wife wanted an unreasonable amount of money, far beyond what I could afford. Scott was right in his interpretation of the facts and when he went to court the Commissioner favored his arguments, and the terms settled were fair. He was right on and did not waiver, which reflects his knowledge and many years of experience. Scott was always very aware of my concerns about costs, and he did initially give a very accurate prediction of final cost. In addition, he was always calm, polite, thoughtful, and empathetic with me, he built a rapport with my ex-wife's lawyer to negotiate, while being resolute in defending my interests. Getting divorced with Scott's representation was far less stressful than it might have been with another attorney.

I retained Scott Semrau as my attorney to help with me deal with a recent family law situation involving a false allegation of domestic violence restraining order against me which was later dismissed in court thanks to the excellent legal work of Scott Semrau. In addition to the dismissal of the false restraining order against me, Scott Semrau also helped me safeguard my legal rights to be a parent and not be alienated from my children by helping set up regular court ordered time with my children and a reasonable child support order. Scott Semrau's legal strategies in court worked very well in all of my court proceedings and I can attest that we have won all of our court hearings and I have attained my my desired legal outcome. One of the most important legal victory in court Scott Semrau has attained for me is the dismissal of a false restraining order against me which could have led me to lose my job and adversely affect my future employment. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I called Scott when I first realized I was going to be going through divorce. As someone who has never been involved in anything to do with going to court or trial, I have to say that Scott made it very easy for me, also I was not the best client as far as providing paperwork and things of that nature but he was always patient and helpful. Scott also advised and me and handled my entire case for over 10 months. I ended up going to trial where he was well prepared and laid out my case quickly and efficiently. Every aspect of the case was ruled in my favor, Also I'm able to see my son who I was in a ruthless custody battle for even more often! I highly recommend him as an attorney, the amount of stress relief is worth it!
