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.

Handled Our Complicated Custody Case
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...

Outstanding lawyer!
Robert Manson has changed my life life for the better. Going into what was an extremely stressful custody battle, Robert allowed me to make a connection with my newborn son. At the beginning of my custody battle I hired a fathers rights lawyer thinking my odds of getting to be a part of my sons life ...

Great Lawyer! 10/10 would recommend!
Bob has been our lawyer for little over 4 years now in what seems to be a circus ring of a custody battle sh*tshow. He is relatable, his advice is realistic, and the ONLY reason our case has taken as long as it has is because of the judge in our case. He always says what amounts to "Well, you've made...

Couldn’t have done it without Bob!
I hired Robert because when we first got into contact, he sat with me on the phone listening to my entire case, gave great advice, and answered every question I had with honesty and superior knowledge. I became even more confident with him at mediation when he asked all the right questions, gave me m...

Intelligent, Caring, and Efficient
I’m very glad that I chose Robert Manson to represent me in my custody and support modification. Robert was upfront, professional and he kept me informed through the entire process of my case. He seemed to genuinely care about me and my children. He was very easily reached and accessible when I had...
"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."
