William A. Dudley

As a single parent of one child, I needed help in filing a restraining order from an abusive, stalking, threatening ex. After about six months of saving up for legal help, I went to see Mr. Dudley, since I had heard he was not easily intimidated. He listened to my case and seemed very willing to hel...p, up until I told him who my ex is. Someone well known and well off, financially, yet very controlling, abusive and crooked. I told him I had already gone to the police and filed a report, but without any physical evidence they couldn't help me! He told me I needed to grow a back bone and stand up to my ex because there was nothing he or the court could do. Charged me over $500 dollars for the consult and pretty much kicked me out the door. What happened to initial consultations were they provide legal COUNSEL or advice/help? Then people wonder why women and children are filling up the Women's Shelters...... I was worse off than when I went in, feeling hopeless, scared, and broke. I guess it still all boils down to how much money you have.
