Robert A Manson

Found Bob online. He responded quickly to my inquiry and I felt he offered a fair rate. My case was pretty straight forward. Ex husband wanted child support lowered when oldest child graduated however he wanted retro pay. Bob successfully argued against any retro and also successfully argued for e...x husband to be ordered to provide health insurance for my son, as originally ordered 11 yrs ago. Successful outcomes. It was worth hiring Bob in this fairly basic case since the plaintiff ex husband had an attorney.

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...ed all of that by just settling after I attended non represented mediation.

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 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...al custody of my four children. My ex wife now owes us child support and is on supervised visitation with my kids. Thank you Robert!
