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.

Life savor!
Bob in an incredible lawyer with a heart of gold! He cared so much about my son and I and making sure we had what we needed. His reputation is superb, my ex’s lawyer completely backed down.

Not a good choice
He was unresponsive and didnt show up to a hearing, assigning another attorney to cover with 5 minutes to prep. Cancelled another hearing the day of. Needless to say my custody/child support case didn't go well. Overall i lost $5,800, fees by hiring him and additional child support and would have sav...

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...

"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."
