Bob is the sharpest attorney I have ever seen. His results exceeded my expectations. He made himself available to answer any questions I had. If u need a great attorney Bob is your man. The best attorney in North Dakota, in my opinion.
Bob is hands down the most amazing attorney. He fully invests himself in every case. My father was charged with a class C felony and Bob brought his best to the table when he defended my dad. We were granted a not guilty verdict and could not be more pleased. My life would not be what it is today had we not found Mr. Bolinske. If you are ever in need of a criminal defense attorney Bob Bolinske is the only choice in my mind.
We have handled 5000+ Criminal Cases. We are very proud of the results we have achieved for our clients. You can view some of our success at www.Bolinskelawfirm.com
Sometimes Dr's make mistakes. When they do, the results can be catastrophic. We tried a case to a Jury where a Dr inadvertently cut a major artery causing brain damage and partial paralysis. On April 28, 2017, a Jury awarded our client $3.5 Million
With the increased oil activity in North Dakota one of the very unfortunate side affects is many more auto accidents & work related injuries & deaths. We represent good people who have been seriously injured or killed by someone elses carelessness.
ND SUPER LAWYERS. NATIONALLY RANKED TOP 10 CRIMINAL LAWYERS IN ND. TOP 100 TRIAL LAWYERS.
Lots of Lawyers claim to be “Trial Lawyers”. The fact is, most “Trial Lawyers” do not actually try cases. We do. We are very proud of the results we have achieved at trial. When you have tried cases to a jury and achieved extraordinary results, people (Prosecutors and other Lawyers) take you seriously. That credibility and respect helps you resolve future cases. We provide respectful, honest, and compassionate representation and will match our results against anyone in North Dakota. We have obtained numerous aquittals for clients in very high profile Felony cases. We were also part of a team of lawyers who obtained one of the largest Medical Malpractice/Injury Verdicts in North Dakota History, $3.5 Million dollars.

Thank you Robert.
Robert is an excellent attorney. I was charged with six drug charges, all felonies. He was able to get me a plea deal for a deferred sentence of two years unsupervised probation. Thanks again Bob.

Great Attorney
I never thought I would have to hire an attorney. While anxiously searching to find one, I came across Bolinske Law Firm & I had a feeling that it was the right place to go. Bob Bolinske is friendly and understanding. From the minute he shook my hand, he treated
me as a good person and not a criminal.
I had made a huge mess with my behavior & I have some
mental health/ psychological issues. I was embarrassed to say the least, but he didn't judge me at all. I thought everything was going my way, but suddenly the state turned everything around & they wanted jail & a few other things.
Bob did a wonderful job defending me. He didn't
want to make me look like the victim, but he understood me. Unfortunately my case didn't fully go my way, but he requested a couple more hearings to give it another try. Bob had it covered until the very end.
His office called me back promptly & he traveled to my city as well.
I would recommend him. I was grateful for his professionalism.
I'm glad I spent my money elsewhere...thank you!!

My experience with Robert
Robert is a great lawyer, not only professional and bright but kind and very willing to listen to my concerns. He is knowledgeable and cares about human beings. He is not judgmental; he considers all the possible angles on a case.

The Best in Crimal Defense
Most people hope to never need a criminal lawyer and I was no different. However, if or when you do need one, you want that person to have your best interests at heart. Bob has fit the bill both times I had to utilize his services. He was always very attentive, empathetic, available, professional and proactive when it came to my cases. Bob also has a very clear understanding of the law. I know that seems fairly obvious, but there are some lawyers that don't even come close to Bob's knowledge. I cannot thank Bob enough for all the work he has put into my cases. He is the only guy I would ever go to for legal help and I have personally referred others to him.

Criminal Defense
In May of 2011, both my husband and I were arrested under circumstances involving a domestic dispute. It was true that a heated verbal argument had occurred; however, no physical injury had. The officer had no reason to make the arrest other than our admission of a heated verbal dispute. Another officer arrived on the scene, and minutes later we both found ourselves in handcuffs and placed in the back of separate cars. As soon as I was able, I contacted Bob Bolinske, and he was able to see me the following day. After consulting with my husband and I, and reviewing the details of the police report, it was evident that arresting a married couple on the basis of a heated argument is wrongful. We didn't even get to the point of having to plead guilty or not guilty. The case was thrown out. It was only with the expert knowledge and diligence Mr. Bolinske demonstrates that made this a possibility. A case that the judge dismisses before even hearing a plea is practically unheard of, but because Bolinske knew the law so well, and because he was able to present to the unjust events of this case, the judge was easily aware that my husband and I were less the villains as we were the victims in this case. The entire event was a nightmare, the only relief was the final outcome which we owe entirely to Bolinske.
