Hi my name is Jay and I highly recommend Robert Wilson for your legal representation when dealing with personal injuries. I found Robert to be forthright, honest, diligently, and hardworking. He helped me in my accident case and I got paid. I would and do refer all my associates and friends to him. He really is not only an excellent lawyer but he’s a good man.

— Jay

I had a question about whether or not my injury was worth the time and trouble to go through pursuing a court case, but when I called Mr. Wilson’s office I was treated with respect and he genuinely cared about my well being and how I was doing. I would gladly refer anyone who has had an injury to call Mr. Wilson.

Our son was paralyzed by a drunk driver in an auto accident. At 1:30 in the morning, we received the most dreaded call a parent can receive. “Mr. Cheek, your son is alive, but he was in an auto accident and…” Our son was hit by a drunk driver which left him paralyzed. While we were still working with the Intensive Care Unit where our son was, we started interviewing law firms. After interviewing many of the large firms in Minneapolis and St. Paul, we decided to go with Robert Wilson. His caring and friendly ways, his outstanding knowledge and his great staff made the decision easy. He personally worked on every piece of the litigation. It was never assigned to a less experienced lawyer as some firms do. Robert Wilson and his staff worked tirelessly and looked into every possible avenue to help our son. We are extremely happy we went with Robert Wilson. We still stay in contact with him, and I would highly recommend him to someone seeking a lawyer after an accident.
