Robert A Manson

I hired Mr. Manson to help me with my ongoing, neverending custody battle. It was one of the most intense cases of parental alienation most people had ever heard about. Bob encouraged me the entire time to hang in there and talked me through the process. I have now been awarded full custody of my chi...ldren. It took going through 4-5 different attorneys and even though I saw mixed reviews about his services, I took a chance on him. It turned out to be the best decision I ever made. Even after the court order came through, he continued to help me by connecting me with the resources necessary to help my children and I rebuild. I highly recommend Mr. Manson for family law. He's been doing this for over 30 years and he know the law very well.

I retained the services of Mr. Manson in February of 2017. At the time, I was in pretty dire straits. The presumption was that I would only see my kids every other weekend and I was facing heavy financial burden from not only child support, but a separate, civil matter that Mr. Manson also assisted w...ith. Fast forward one year, all of my issues are resolved and I have my kids on an extremely fair 50/50 legal and physical custody arrangement. We also managed to secure a settlement in my civil matter. Despite the outcome, I cannot personally attest to Bob’s ability to litigate because we struck agreements with opposing counsel/party every step of the way. Where Bob excels for his clients is in the way he understands not only the law, but “the way these things go” in a very real sense. I had initially come in with some lofty and aggressive goals early on, and he showed me not only which arguments were worth pursuing, but also taught me the value of certainty when it comes to knowing when make a deal vs when to fight and accept the risk of an adverse outcome. He could have driven up fees and wasted an awful lot of time litigating matters that were not likely to succeed or to wind up in places that we ultimately agreed to, but demonstrated a high level of ethical practice by advising against chasing strawmen. I would highly recommend Mr. Manson as an advocate for fathers. He handles his business professionally and without any of the nonsense. I hope I never have to hire legal representation again in the future, but if I do, Mr. Manson will be my first call.

I hired Robert because when we first got into contact, he sat with me on the phone listening to my entire case, gave great advice, and answered every question I had with honesty and superior knowledge. I became even more confident with him at mediation when he asked all the right questions, gave me m...ore great advice, and was also a very personable guy that was super kind, and was passionate about his career. Before the hearing, I was super nervous, but I knew I had a great lawyer by my side. In court, he made sure to bring up all of the main points, and it was obvious he was so much better than my ex’s lawyer who seemed to really need my ex’s money and she spotted a sucker. He made me feel confident In my case, but always made sure I knew it wasn’t a sure thing. He’s a great lawyer to have by your side!

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.
