Virtual Consultation Available
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.

Professional, Empathetic, and most importantly Effective
Before hiring an attorney I felt overwhelmed with the power and resources of the government working against me, and I was afraid there wouldn't be an opportunity to present all the facts and hear other perspectives. After hiring Mr. Speeter (Bob once you get to know him) I was presented with a cl...

Excellent!
Robert Speeter was supremely efficient and forthcoming to me about my case and my plans to remain law abiding after the fact and the life I wish to lead going forward.

"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."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Bob Speeter is well respected by judges, attorneys, court staff and professional colleagues. He has earned an excellent reputation as a smart, well-prepared and effective attorney. I have known Bob a long time, and I would gladly refer to him with confidence that he would do an outstanding job."

"I endorse Mr. Speeter. He is highly knowledgeable, dedicated, and an asset to his clients across his entire practice spectrum."
"I endorse Robert. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"In my opinion, Bob Speeter is an excellent, seasoned attorney with significant experience in state and federal courts and equally adept at handling complex criminal or civil matters. Bob brings both finely honed technical skills and plain common sense to high tension matters to quickly and efficiently find a best case solution for clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Robert has been doing criminal defense for a long time and he knows what he's doing. He maintains a great attitude dealing with opposing counsel and obtains good results for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Speeter is very knowledgeable with respect to Minnesota criminal law."
"From DUI to major felonies, Bob can handle it all. Highly recommended."
