About Scott A.
Scott A. Kainrath earned his law degree from Indiana University Bloomington in 2005 after completing undergraduate studies at Indiana State University in 1993. He arrived at law school after more than a decade since finishing his bachelor's degree, a path that shaped a practical perspective on legal work. He completed his J.D. in 2005 and then moved into practice in Indiana.
He is admitted to practice in the State of Indiana and to the United States District Courts for the Southern and Northern Districts of Indiana. Those admissions allow him to take cases that require federal filings and courtroom appearances in both federal districts. Colleagues describe him as methodical in court work and steady in case preparation.
Kainrath serves as Of Counsel at Graham, Regnier, Farrer & Wilson, P.C. In that role he provides advice on litigation strategy, prepares briefs and motions, and appears in court when matters require experienced representation. The of counsel title reflects a senior advisor role rather than a firm leadership position. He works alongside trial lawyers and newer associates, offering a mix of courtroom support and legal drafting.
Over time his practice has involved federal court procedures and state-court matters across Indiana. Being admitted to both the Southern and Northern Districts has meant handling filings that must meet differing local rules and judges’ preferences. That practical familiarity with court practices informs how he prepares pleadings and manages deadlines.
Kainrath’s background also includes a science-oriented undergraduate education, which colleagues say can help when cases involve technical or factual complexity. He blends that earlier training with legal experience to assess evidence and organize factual narratives for judges and juries. He is known among peers for a careful approach to discovery and for pacing a case to match court schedules and client needs.
Outside the courtroom he contributes to firm matters that require experienced counsel but do not fit the partner track. His of counsel role allows him to remain engaged in litigation while handling discrete assignments that benefit from his perspective. He works from the firm’s office at Graham, Regnier, Farrer & Wilson, P.C. and handles matters in both state and federal courts in Indiana.
Scott A. Kainrath currently focuses his practice on litigation that requires admission in Indiana and in the federal district courts for the Southern and Northern Districts of Indiana.
