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.

Excellent Courtroom skills and abilities
I was going through a messy contested divorce. My wife pressed an OFP against me after the divorce filing. Bob Manson was my attorney for OFP. We went for a full trial. Bob had excellent courtroom skills and abilities. We won the case and the OFP against me was dismissed. I recommend Bob for any fami...

Great Attorney
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...

Advocate for Fathers
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...

Helpful and Honest
I had a custody battle and I needed temp custody immediately. Mr. Manson was the guy I needed on my side. He knows a lot and has dealt with even more. He knows what he is doing so just listen to what he says. My case was urgent and he even met me on his day off to get things started. He is very carin...

Great Lawyer!!!
I hired Bob after meeting him at a free family law clinic he does once a month. I had met with other attorneys and I didn't feel comfortable with them but I immediately had confidence in Bob's ability. He works hard, he is capable, and experienced. He quickly gets in contact with me when action ne...
"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."
