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.

Saved my kids
I had an attorney that told me to just sign on the dotted line. Fired her and recieved a referral for Robert. I told him my story and he went to work right away. It was a long and hard fight. I believed in Robert because he believed in me. After two years of fighting I now have 100% legal and physic...

Poor communication, slow
I hired him to represent me in a custody case. When we first met he stated it was on the house as we were seeking advice. We did end hiring him. I gave him all the info her asked for and waited, and waited. Months went by and nothing. He did not even attempt to contact anyone on my behalf. I have yet...
It is difficult to respond to an anonymous post. I have not received any complaints of this sort directly and would have resolved them if I had. I would request this person contact me directly to discuss their concerns.

Great Lawyer, good communication, reasonable rates.
Robert helped me out substantially. He cut my child support in half, and settled my divorce in a timely manner. I would highly recommend him to represent you. He and his staff have great communication between phone and email.

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...
"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."
