I endorse Robert. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community.

Bob Christensen has done it all. He has worked on civil cases in Minnesota for over 30 years. Bob has settled big cases, and tried big cases to juries. He has been a mediator and arbitrator, has authored legal articles and papers, and has trained and is certified as a civil trial specialist. He has the highest rating available (“AV”) by the most respected national lawyer rating organization. In my view, what is also important is what kind of person Bob is. If you spend ten minutes with Bob, you will know he is the real deal. He’s patient, he listens, he cares, he instills confidence and trust, and he tells you the truth. If you have a serious case and need serious help, I hope you will call Bob and meet with him. I think you’ll like what you see.

Bob is a brilliant, enthusiastic champion for his clients. He is a dedicated advocate who goes above and beyond to represent his clients' interests.

I know Bob Christensen; I've sat next to him at numerous seminars and many dinners. I know he's charming, he's whip-smart, and he's a good guy. But what I also know is, he's a passionate lawyer, the attorney you want and need on your side. There's a reason his firm's called "Advocates for Justice." Too many lawyers leave you feeling as the little guy within the system, while Bob's approach is to give you the tools you need to get justice, and be there fighting for you and beside you every step of the way. (Don't believe me? Check out his blog, http://blog.mnadvocatesforjustice.com, or the impressive videos on his website.) If you need a lawyer in the twin cities, trust me, Bob's your lawyer.

I endorse this lawyer. Robert is a member of the International Society of Primerus Law Firms. Its membership is by invitation only. He is respected by his peers for the quality of his work, his pursuit of excellence and the outstanding results he achieves for his clients.
James Lewis, Medical malpractice Attorney on Jun 30, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
One of the things I admire the most about Robert Christensen is that he has been a trial lawyer for 34 years. He has four, million-dollar recoveries by jury verdict on behalf of his clients and has settled numerous cases for clients over the years for six and seven figures. Bob’s actions speak louder than words in a world where lots of people talk the talk but can’t walk the walk. I would recommend Bob to anyone who wants an honest lawyer that will really work hard for them.
Donald Winder, Litigation Attorney on May 31, 2013

I have known Bob Christensen for many years, and am proud to call him a friend. Bob is an extremely knowledgeable advocate, as evidenced by his certification as a trial specialist by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, his participation in the American Board of Trial Advocates, and a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. In addition to his professional skills, Bob is one of the most personable men I have ever met. He is truly concerned about people, particularly his clients. His passion for his clients is evident when he talks about their cases. If I ever have the opportunity to refer a client in Minnesota, I will gladly turn them over to Bob, as I am confident they would be represented by nothing short of the best.
Bob and his associates at Advocates for Justice have every qualification you may look for in an attorney. He treats his clients with respect and works tirelessly to ensure their cases reach the best possible outcome. Not only has he been practicing law for 39 years, but he does not hesitate to go to trial if necessary, having tried over 30 cases to a verdict. I have come to know Bob Christensen’s work through his association with Primerus, one of the most respected international lawyers’ organizations. He and his firm had to meet and exceed the requirements of providing a high level of service at a reasonable cost, as well as integrity in all dealings. Even more importantly, this recognition has come from the recommendation of clients, fellow lawyers and the courts. With his qualifications and past trial experience, I would not hesitate to refer cases to Bob Christensen and his firm Advocates for Justice.

Robert and his team over at” Advocates for Justice” have served the city of Minneapolis long enough to earn a solid reputation for their hard work, great results and dedication to their client’s. Rest assured that if Bob and his firm are representing you or a loved one, you are receiving the best legal representation possible. I highly recommend this attorney.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Bob has been a friend, mentor, and colleague who I have had the pleasure of working with on several complex litigation cases over the course of the last 27 years. He not only has tremendous trial skills, he is zealous, compassionate, dedicated, and truly deserving of the enormous respect he has earned from all of us who have had the opportunity of knowing and working with him on a professional basis.
William Dunkley, Personal injury Attorney on Mar 14, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Bob's experience and expertise enable him to provide the highest level of legal representation. He goes above and beyond to make sure his clients receive what they expect, an attorney who aggressively advocates for them, while being compassionate about their individual situations.
Thomas Stewart, Litigation Attorney on Mar 11, 2013
Relationship: Friend
An extremely zealous advocate for his clients. He is empathetic for his clients' positions and possesses great trial skills unmatched in Minnesota. Bob is most certainly someone you want advocating for your position during the litigation process.
James Miller, Personal injury Attorney on Mar 11, 2013
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
I endorse this lawyer. I have been privileged to work with Bob since I was still in law school over 25 years ago. He is one of the hardest-working guys in the business -- in part because he always does things the right way, doesn't cut corners, and goes the extra mile for each person he represents. I feel very lucky to have worked with Bob because I have had a chance to see, first hand, how the high standards he maintains translate into excellent results. Bob is a genuinely caring and compassionate person -- a rare trait among lawyers. I think one of the things that drives him to give his all is that he makes the effort to get to know and understand each individual, and feels on a very personal level how their case impacts upon their lives. I have always been impressed at how Bob continues to maintain relationships with the people he has represented over the years -- a testament to the level of care he devotes and the way he connects on a meaningful level with each person.
Roger Kramer, Litigation Attorney on Mar 11, 2013
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Bob is one of the best attorneys in Minnesota.
Scott Wilson, Litigation Attorney on Mar 10, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Bob is justly respected (and in some quarters, revered) among complex civil litigators in Minnesota. He is deeply experienced, talented and formidable. Those who hire him will not lack for passionate and effective representation.
Alan Baker, Defective and dangerous products Attorney on Mar 10, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have worked with Bob in the past and recently asked him to help me with a difficult and complex products liability case. Bob combines his excellent legal knowledge and skill with his ability to connect with his clients to effectively advocate for his clients.
Wilbur Fluegel, Personal injury Attorney on Mar 9, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Bob is a well experienced litigator with abundant energy who makes each client's cause his own with passion and professionalism.
