Amazing!

Nick went above and beyond to help me, not only get all of my legal needs met but he also made sure that I understood everything that was happening within my court case. He also made sure that I was able to get to a prior arrangement that I had the day I went to court. If you are looking for and unde...rstanding and honest guy to be your lawyer Nick is the one for you!

True Professional

I've consulted with other lawyers prior to Mr. Dudley and not one can even compare to him in not only professionalism but also knowledge-wise and time efficiency. I'm glad to know I have a lawyer that has my back every time.

Criminal defense

Our case was given to Nick mid stream. .. he picked it up and ran with it. Many obstacles were thrown at him... one of which being his hard headed client. He was able to be blunt..and honest with us and didn't try to baffle us with BS.... at the end of a very long process he was able to reach an agr...eement that initially wasn't looking like an option. He listened to us and made us active in the case. Highly recommend his services.

Firearm Laws

Nick was a straight shooter when consulting about firearms. He sat down with us and answered all questions. He did not for one second seem irritated or look at his watch! He was very kind and will turn back to him if we have any more concerns in the future. Thank you, Nick!

"I've known Nick for a number of years both in my prior capacity as debate coach for the University of Missouri-Columbia and as a fellow lawyer in Missouri. I can say, without a doubt, that Nick is one of the brightest and most talented lawyers I have met. He will take on the toughest of cases and has the experience and skills to win. I can definitively say that I would be proud to stand next to Nick in trial knowing that few people in the country can take the opponent to task in the same way Nick can."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
