Dustin Johnson

I had retained in the past Robert Manson and with out a doubt. I had a lawyer that truly did his job for the best outcome that at that time he has made happen and robert for for my behave and negotiated the best deal that could come at that time after a few years after using him and know how the cou...rts sway one way or the other . Robert Manson absolutely done the best job as any other fine attorney can do. He is 5 stars in my book . my name is Dustin

Extremely happy client!

I hired Bob to help me with writing a legal brief. I have an order for protection against my ex boyfriend, which was violated. I ended up proceeding forward to hold him in contempt on my own, which I discovered is almost unheard of. After the hearing, the judge asked for legal briefs to be submitt...ed on an issue. I wasn't sure how to go about it, but Internet research and lots of phone calls led me to Bob. I had done some legal research, and other attorneys that were kind enough to give me advice also contributed some. Bob put it all together. The process reminded me of a college paper-one that we worked on together. Bob was very open to my ideas and the points I wanted to make, and he also gave great advice and let me know what could and couldn't be said. I was very pleased with the result. He was even kind enough to have his office file and serve the paperwork for me, which he was under no obligation to do. And all of this was done for a VERY reasonable price. We are still awaiting the judge's ruling, but either way, I'm very thankful I found Bob. For the past 3 months, I have been slowly moving forward from a situation which was painfully life-altering, in which I was very afraid, and in which I have had very little control. Bob's assistance has contributed to me getting my life back.

Top notch attorney

My wife hired a big name very expensive attorney. Mr. Manson ran circles around her in Court. I ended up with an excellent result. I am a sheriff's deputy and have performed duties as a bailiff so I see many attorneys in court. I have not seen any attorneys better than Mr. Manson and often find ...myself saying to myself that Mr. Manson would have done much better. I have referred several people to Mr. Manson and all of them have been more than satisfied and told me that he is an excellent attorney. I highly recommend that you use him. His knowledge is great and his ability to strategize and analyze and set up a case are unmatched.

We didn't win but Bob did a good job

Any review you read on this site which says that Bob promised them anything is totally false. As a matter of fact he specifically told us he wouldn't promise us anything. He met with us in a timely manner and was able to get us the expedited hearing we needed. He went above and beyond to get the c...ourt the items we needed in time for our date.

Waste of time and a lot of money.

Promised everything, received nothing. Acted like a real tough guy, but delivered nothing and settled in the end. We got nothing out of this and were drug through the system while continously racking up the bill.

Replied last March 21, 2012

It is always difficult to respond to an anonymous posting. I can say that I urge clients to communicate with me about any issues or concerns that they may have. The fact that this person claims that I "promised everything" shows that the review is not accurate. I never promise anything to my clients because family law is never a sure thing. I can tell them what is likely to occur in a situation based upon my 22 years of experience, but I always make it very clear that there are no guarantees in family law. Many cases do settle, but I have always been and always will be a strong advocate for my clients and would only settle if it was in my client's best interests. I would urge this person to provide more information so I can properly respond and contact me with their concerns so I can property address them.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Robert Manson works very hard for his clients applying the skills he has developed over the course of his twenty-three years as a Minnesota family law lawyer. Although he is well known for his rigorous and detailed trial preparation and litigation skills, he prefers settlement over court battles. But whether in the court room, or the mediation table, the most important outcome for Mr. Manson is a favorable one, for his client."
