I have been married for almost 30 years and have one son. We have two dogs and a cat and family life is very important to me. I am proud to be a veteran and was a legal specialist in the Army from 1983 to 1986. I am a graduate of the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management. I graduated from William Mitchell College of Law and attended nights while working full time days. My hobbies include reading, golfing, swimming, and feeding fish off the dock at the office. I am still passionate about the law and the courts and enjoy what I do immensely. Though stressful at times I realize that I directly affect many lives and try to do it in a positive fashion.

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...

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 ...

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...

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.
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.
"I had a heckuva case against Bob that went to trial, he is a very good attorney who also wants to help his client and resolve the case. I endorse Bob Manson."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is a seasoned and tough litigator. At the same time, he is willing to put in the time to craft a well-reasoned and detailed settlement where possible."
"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."
