Matthew J Dudley

Mr. Dudley has represented friends of mine in the past and they have been happy with his services and so I chose to retain him for parenting plan disputes with my ex. Mr. Dudley was next to impossible to reach on the phone and when I was able to reach him he was rude. I was willing to deal with his a...ttitude though if he was at least good at representing me. Half the time he did not keep me up to date on what was happening with my case. At one time my ex was trying to move out of state with my child. Mr. Dudley told me that there was nothing I could do to stop her so I went to a different attorney to get a second opinion. The second attorney told me that I absolutely could stop my ex from moving out of state with my child so I retained him and won. If it had been left up to Mr. Dudley my child would be GONE! I believe that Mr. Dudley was once a very good lawyer, but he seems to have lost his passion. Thankfully I fired Mr. Dudley before seeking custody of my child. I would not recommend him to anyone.

I had the good fortune of being referred to Matthew over three years ago, just as I was leaving an abusive marriage, and without even knowing it, I had unwittingly hired the BEST divorce lawyer in Spokane. Without his help, I have no doubt that I would have not been able to get away, gain temporary, ...and eventually be granted, final primary care of my children. He is a brilliant lawyer. A bit eccentric with a messy office, but that's the mark of genius. He aggressively represents his clients and is extremely protective of their best interests. He wins. In fact, I don't think I lost a single meaningful hearing. But he also won't allow you engage in futile legal pursuits. Shockingly, he is as affordable as he is aggressive. My ex spent eight times the amount I spent on his own aggressive, high-priced lawyer and ended up with less than what I had offered in the beginning. Matthew may be known for being a bulldog, but he's not a leach like some of his Spokane counterparts. He is not always nice. In fact, he's blunt, confronting, and will tell you hard truths about yourself. Get. Over. It. Getting a divorce is not about the customer service or bedside manner. It is the fight of your life, and he is hands down the best coach to have in your corner.

I have used Mr Dudley for my divorce and had a couple of friends use him. He can be a very difficult guy. Brought me to tears a couple times by pointing out my own stupidity but he's worth it. If your children are at stake and you want what is best for them Dudley will help you. He does not over prom...ise and you must do what he tells you to do. He will get you what he says he can. He is difficult to work with but put up with him because in the end you will want to hug him for keeping your children safe. He is very good at dealing with ex's who are bullies. I cannot reccomend him highly enough.

I had been through a couple different attorneys before finding Matthew (Cuddly Duddly). Part of the reason is that our case involved more than one state. So I had a different attorney in the previous state. Then upon moving here I initially started out with a different attorney who wasn't sure how t...o handle the case. I found Matt and I couldn't be happier! I walked out of court like I won the lottery! He accomplished exactly what I wanted. He is tough, intelligent, witty, sarcastic and an expert in his field. Most importantly he is feared and revered by the opposing side. The best money I have ever spent. With my previous laywer I felt like I wasted 2k and wish I could have returned the services and gotten a refund like you return an item that doesn't work. I have no remorse in the money spent with Matt and would spend it again! Cheers to winning!

Hands down Mathew Dudley is the best Attorney in Spokane! Smart, aggressive, reasonable rates. There is no other attorney in spokane that can compare to Matt. He knows how to control a court room. Matt will aggressively work for you and your needs. Don't waste your time and money on another attorney ...you'll regret it.
