Robert A Manson

Robert Manson and Sunday Harholdt are consummate professionals, and I can’t speak highly enough of their expertise and dedication. Before Mr. Manson and his team stepped in, I was facing an unfavorable custody outcome with my previous representation, who failed to grasp the nuances of my situation. F...rom the moment Mr. Manson took over, I felt like a true priority—both me and my children. The difference was immediate: my parenting time increased almost overnight, and the trajectory of my case shifted for the better. When the other party refused to negotiate a fair resolution, we proceeded to court. In the courtroom, Mr. Manson was exceptional—sharp, prepared, and unwavering. After a grueling five-day trial, I was awarded joint legal and joint physical custody, a result I couldn’t have imagined before his involvement. I wholeheartedly recommend Robert Manson to anyone seeking not just representation, but a committed advocate who delivers results.

We had retained and fired two attorneys before we found Bob. We hired Bob to represent my friend, a domestic abuse survivor, in the custody dispute against her abusive ex . By the time we hired Bob, we were “behind the 8 ball,“ as Bob put it. The court had just issued a temporary order allowing joi...nt legal and physical custody, granting the abusive party control over his victim. It took numerous proceedings, documentation, witnesses, and eventually a trial to reveal the truth to the Court and attain justice. We are grateful to Bob for his willingness to take on our very complicated, difficult case, and his superb legal and strategic skills. It’s difficult to discuss domestic abuse at all, let alone to numerous professionals (judges, evaluators, etc.) in the court system. Bob was able to guide my friend through a harrowing journey with a steady hand, clear vision, and a compassionate heart.

I worked with Robert as my attorney for the last 2 years for my custody case. As a unmarried father in Minnesota, the odds are definitely against you. Robert was there for me through and through, and he wouldn't quit fighting for me to have equal parenting time with my son. We just recieved the good ...news, after going to trial, that we won! I was awarded joint physical/legal custody with my son! I couldn't have done it without him! He's made a bigger impact in my life than he knows! I can't wait to spend quality time with my boy. A special shout out to his assistant Amber as well. If I ever had a question about the small details, she was always there to answer it for me. Thanks again guys!! If you want an attorney that will fight for what you deserve, I'd definitely recommend Robert Manson Law.

I hired Robert (Bob) to represent my daughter and I in Family Court. I was seeking full legal and physical custody of my daughter. When Bob and I first met, we were quickly able to see my situation was in dire need of legal assistance. As a single father, this was by far the scariest thing I have... faced in my life. Bob was able to take a pragmatic approach, explain to me the processes within the court system, and guide me through litigation with confidence. There were false claims of abuse and Bob was able to not only deal with them, but to bring an emergency motion that granted me temporary custody. As a trial lawyer, I couldn't have been more pleased with Bob's professionalism, knowledge and legal advice. Bob represented me in court on several occasions leading up to and ultimately throughout a 4 day trail. Bob's experience and knowledge of MN state law was key in our outcome. I was awarded full legal and physical custody of my daughter and mother had to do supervised parenting time. My situation deserved this outcome, but Bob was the individual who brought the argument to the court and ultimately won the case. He chewed up mother's expert witness. He also represented me in post decree matters and was always responsive and on point. His fees were reasonable as well. I have since referred my friends and family to seek Mr. Manson's services if they find themselves with any family law issues. They have all been as pleased as I was with his services.

I am so thankful for Mr. Manson. He helped in a very difficult child custody battle. He met with me when I most needed help. It is very hard for the Dad to get custody, but Mr. Manson worked through this and was able to get the custody awarded. He kept in contact and always informed me what to do.... I would highly recommend him.
