Patrick Dudley

I hired Patrick Dudley AFTER observing (extensively) how this counselor navigated a former business partner of mine through his (felony indicted) criminal case. Patrick was successful in getting this defendants felony indictment reduced to a simple misdemeanor charge with no prison and a reasonable p...robation period . That wasn't even the reason why I hired him. As a self employed entrepreneur of 25 years I have owned several companies and in my role with those companies I have had to hire attorneys for a lot of reasons (business & personal) and I know that they are not all cut from the same cloth. Integrity (of billing) is hard to find. Guts, and qualified experience are hard to find. Patrick has that blue-collar (sleeves rolled up) legal persona that makes you feel like you've got someone in the trenches with you ready to help you fight for your legal rights. He is professional, plain-speaking about what you can or can't do in your legal strategy....and if its something other than black/white he will help you understand the legal risks of the murky path. He is also likable. He knew the judge involved in the criminal case involving my former business partner; the judge smiled at him and greeted him, which certainly made me feel better about my possibilities because that was the judge in my case as well. I hired Patrick specifically to reduce or improve my probation instructions and the price point was fair and agreed to up front by us both. We also agreed to what we would be requesting from the Judge specifically and what would be a realistic goal for me in getting some leniency on my probation instructions. In a few short weeks we got exactly everything we requested. How? Patrick first got the US Attorney assigned to my case to agree that he would not challenge our request. Second, he spoke with and got the same agreement from my Probation Officer. I credit his likability and professional demeanor to getting them on board with this. He did all of that up front and so the judge determined that this request was a simple thing for him to approve. I am a happy client and I am benefitting from his hire. Patrick, you made my life and my family's life easier with this success we had together and I thank you.

Mr. Dudley was easy to contact and consult with regarding my husband's criminal case. Immediately, I could tell he was an astute listener and detailed thinker. We had several questions regarding sentencing and incarceration, which can be a confusing, scary time for family members; he took his time re...viewing the facts and did not leave the conversation without my full understanding of his expert analysis. He was extremely patient, thorough, and empathetic. Mr. Dudley provided clarity to our murky understanding of what happens after an individual is incarcerated. I wish we would have hired him from the beginning to represent my husband, as he was able to answer all the questions our current attorney could not. It's apparent that Mr. Dudley has a passion for people and justice, and I would highly recommend consulting with him as soon as your legal troubles arise. Thank you again, Mr. Dudley!

I highly recommend hiring Patrick as an attorney! Before hiring him, I consulted with a few other criminal attorneys. No one gave me hope or offered the help I was looking for, but during my first five minute consultation via phone call he was able to assure me that he can handle my case easily with... the best outcome possible. I was charged with two felonies and two misdemeanors. Over the course of a few months and four trips to the court house, he kept in contact with me and always responded to any calls and emails. He answered all the questions I had, and guided me through the court process. With the help of Patrick I was able to move from felony court down to misdemeanor court. He was able to help me get my charges dropped down to one simple misdemeanor. Also, he worked out a miracle deal with my judge, which will result in my charges being dropped by the end of 2018. I cannot thank him enough for working so hard on my case and for all the dedication he put towards helping my family and I! He is one of the best attorneys out there.

We live in Texas and needed to hire a CA attorney to defend our son, who was wanted for 2 felonies. After interviewing a few attorney's over the phone we decided to hire Patrick. We couldn't be happier with our decision. Not only did Patrick negotiate effectively with the DA, he was available and... very patient in discussing our sons case over many phone calls. The total process took 3 trips to court. Patrick met with us the night before the first court appearance and was always available to answer our questions. After the judge made her decision and we left court most lawyers would have been outta there. Patrick went to Probation Office with our son to meet with the P.O. to make sure everything was handled properly. Just this process took over an hour. Can't say enough good things about the outstanding service and outcome we got from hiring Patrick. In 3 years when the the charges can be expunged, we will be hiring Patrick again. Highly recommended.

Patrick Dudley was my public defender on a 211 case, it was a very serious case with depressing consequences. This particular case was carried out for a long period of time and throughout that time he was always attentive and just a phone call away. He kept me informed, and did everything he could to... help me. He preformed motions to try and help me in the case. This case went to trial where i was a quitted of all charges and got to go home with my baby boy. He is an excellent lawyer and i would recommend him to anyone.
