just add this code to your themes javascript:

(function($) {
$(document).ready(function(){
    //bmo scroll to not valid
    $(".wpcf7").on('invalid.wpcf7',function(e){
        $('html, body').animate({
                scrollTop: $(".wpcf7-not-valid").first().offset().top-30
            }, 2000);
    });

});
})(jQuery);
