I am a 35 years meth addict who was severely lost in my addiction. I had finally pushed things way too far and I was looking at 78 months in prison. I hired Mr. Speeter too try and help my case in any way......
I not only got a top notch attorney, I got a friend and a mentor. I did everything he asked me too, including 10 months of treatment, and in the end, I received a blessing of no jail time and 60 hours of community service.
Your an amazing man Robert......
Thank you so much!!!!!
Rob is an amazing person. He is truly human and genuine. In this practice, you want someone who is compassionate and loving. Lawyers in general are terrible in being kind and empathetic because we mostly lack that for ourselves. But, Rob, is different. He's smart and great in his practice, above all, he cares for you and he shows you kindness which you might not even have for yourself sometimes. I wish I could have known him before.
You need a safe place to go for answers where you won’t be personally judged. If you are shopping for a lawyer, you may notice that many lawyer’s sites have pages of information about the law for you to sift through. It is my belief that you are seeking a lawyer that will be able to explain the relevant law to your situation personally. I do not find it helpful to produce pages of material for a potential client to click through in order to make myself look knowledgeable.  After 37 years of practice, I have found that providing a mountain of material to a client is likely to cause stress or even fear—producing thoughts such as: Do I need to know this? Is it applicable to my case?  I believe that is the lawyer’s job—not the client’s job!
My first goal in representing a client is working to break through the fear that is a natural reaction to criminal charges so that together we can build an effective and creative criminal defense.  I find that a fearful client is more likely to either: not do things necessary for their defense; or actually do something that makes the situation worse. That is why I personally meet every client for a relaxed, thoughtful and informative free consultation. It is also why I personally make every court appearance in your case. I want my clients to feel comfortable and not have to experience the fear of an unknown associate suddenly appearing on the day of court.
Call me to set up a free, private and confidential consultation at our mutual convenience. As a first step to reducing fear, be assured that I will not judge you personally when we meet; rather I will honestly observe your situation with you and give you my considered assessment.

5 stars coming from a fellow attorney!
In January 2020, I reached out to Mr. Speeter for a matter in Minnesota. (I'm barred in New York). Mr. Speeter went above and beyond what most attorney's would do. He was incredibly knowledgable (this involved a warrant) and personable. His follow up was prompt and he is the type of attorney all of us should emulate. (Based on knowledge, customer service, demeanor and follow up!)

literal life saver
Robert executed my case more than flawlessly, he got me the best deal possible and was very informative. He took the time to tell me everything that was happening and made sure i was okay with everything that happened. His paralegal kept in contact with me throughout the process just to make sure that i was doing well mentally. I appreciate everything they both did for me and will definitely be recommending Robert to anyone who asks in the future. THANK YOU!!!!!

I cannot express enough how lucky we were to have met Bob and have him as our lawyer! He took our case and got right to work. He was able to resolve our case in just one week! This case involved being wrongfully accused in fleeing a police officer (felony) along with suspension of driving privileges. I cannot thank him enough for his kindness and quick work!

Helped me get licensed!
I was applying for my Real Estate License with the DOC when Bob helped me get everything in order with my criminal record and what needed to be done to get my license! He helped me with my statement letter and I even got out of probation early which would not have happened with out his guidance. I am now a licensed Realtor and I appreciate the time Bob put in to help me get there!

Bob and Shanlee work very hard and went above and beyond our expectation to get us the right justice. They are the best I ever seen and work with. Super easy to get a hold of and to answer questions A plus. I would recommend anyone to just try this firm anytime. They treat you like family and always checking in to make sure everyone and everything is going as planned. Great to work with.

Got our son back on the right track.
Bob and Shanlee both went above and beyond the legal case, they also helped guide us towards treatment plans and were able to work with the courts to make treatment a priority before the case. It gave our son and his parents the chance and hope we needed. Our son has been chemical/alcohol free for almost a year and a half. Thank you, and God bless you both.

Great representation!
Bob represented my daughter in a criminal case in Crow Wing County. He was very attentive to our needs and lead us to the best option under the circumstances. If I would definitely hire him again should I need representation.

Would definitely use Robert again!
Bob was highly recommended by a friend of mine for my misdemeanor DWI case. After consulting with Bob and Shanlee, I felt he was the best person for the case I was up against. I felt that no one else could have got the results that Bob did which I found to be favorable. Not only did the results on the criminal side come back favorably but Bob and Shanlee assisted with getting me into a treatment program and getting ignition interlock installed on my vehicle. I believe they both changed the course of my life more for the positive.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Bob for decades. He is a highly intelligent and creative lawyer. He is well-versed in the law and experienced in a wide variety of areas of practice. I know he has won extremely large verdicts in personal injury and medical malpractice cases but as a criminal defense attorney, I feel most qualified to comment on his skill in that area. Because of his intellect and preparation, he is a skillful negotiator but what is often overlooked is his skill as a trial attorney where his creativity and charm are most evident. If I ever needed an attorney in any of the areas in which Bob has expertise, he would be the first call I would make."
