Best Family Lawyer

I retained Matthew Dudley after many people spoke very highly of him and his capabilities. I was not disappointed. He took a very difficult situation and walked me through the process and made me feel more comfortable along the way and put many of my fears to rest. Matthew is more than prepared in an...y court room setting and always ahead of the game in preparing for the unknowns. He never backs down and fights like a pit bull for what you need. Matthew was always available for any worries I had and addressed them in a very timely manner. He was very clear and concise on what he need from me, as well as what to expect. Matthew was also very quick to forward me any documents we would need in the court room as well as request documents that were needed. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to retain counsel to seek out Matthew Dudley because you cannot lose with him in your corner. It was the best decision I mad and I will call him again in the future if I need representation without hesitation. Thank you Mr. Dudley.

By Far the Best Lawyer I've Encountered

Matthew Dudley was the 3rd lawyer I hired in my fight for custody of my kids, and he was by far the best! Due to his performance on my case I got primary custody of my kids and the exact parenting plan I wanted. I honestly feel I could have gotten any parenting plan I wanted due to his outstanding p...erformance. He is a bulldog in the courtroom and comes to court prepared, knowledgeable of the case and with an unrivaled expertise in family law. Dudley's hourly rate was slightly more than my 1st lawyer, but due to his efficiency and effectiveness he ended up being about 90% cheaper. I am not exaggerating when I say I paid my 1st lawyer about 10 times more than I paid Dudley. Dudley represented my for approximately the same duration and appeared in court more times than my 1st lawyer. My ex's attorney was a scum bag, and he crushed the 1st lawyer I hired during my divorce. My 1st lawyer came highly recommended, but he was worthless in court and extremely expensive. My ex was allowed to take my kids and move out of state. 3 years later I hired my second attorney to try to get custody back due to my ex's poor parenting. She was also very expensive and ineffective. I fired her and hired Dudley because he came highly recommended from 3 separate acquaintances, whom had either hired him or gone against him. My ex's lawyer withdrew himself from representing my ex after going against Dudley 1 time in court because Dudley crushed him. My ex hired another lawyer and Dudley crushed her too. Hiring Dudley is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have a lot of experience with multiple lawyers, and Matthew Dudley is by far the best.

The Right Choice

Contacting Matthew after a well trusted source referred me to him was the best decision I have ever made. In a complicated divorce with children, property, assets, and the pursuit of a restraining order, he made me feel safe and secure when my world was turning upside down. While Matthew is a very bu...sy person, I never felt like he didn't have my back during the entire process. In court he is a bulldog- he is fierce, organized, well spoken, knowledgeable, and respected. I can't imagine a better outcome from a very complicated situation. My family and I are safe and protected now, and I place most of that peace of mind and security on Matthew. Additionally, Matthew is incredibly patient. I never in a million years pictured myself in this situation so my knowledge of the entire process is essentially nothing, but Matthew has never failed to calm my nerves and explain in detail where we stand and what the next steps forward are. If you are looking for a lawyer who doesn't just care about the bill, but cares about the entire outcome and cares about you then Matthew is absolutely the best choice out there.

All the results I had hoped for!

I hired Matthew to represent me in a very difficult divorce. The opposing party was particularly uncooperative, and Matthew really had to tolerate a good bit of challenging behavior. Matthew is a lawyer, not a mental health counselor, and he practices law very capably. He didn't waste my time or reso...urces with unnecessary activities, though he did periodically check in with me by phone to ensure that I was "ok" during this process. He got me better results than I had even hoped for, protecting my assets and ensuring I was not encumbered by debts for which I was not responsible. Matthew is very much down to business and straight to the point, and he was respectful of my preference to not take advantage of, or bulldoze, the opposing party. I very much appreciate that Matthew is available outside of regular business hours, because his willingness to meet with me during evenings and weekends kept me from wasting a lot of vacation time at work. I highly recommend Matthew if you want streamlined, no-nonsense legal representation with positive results!

The Right Lawyer

I had filled for divorce and was going for custody of my two children. With all at stakes I decided to seek legal representation. Was referred to Matthew Dudley and glad I did. He took my case and got everything I could want. I liked his knowledge of family/divorce law and used his recommendation...s for how to proceed and that’s exactly what I wanted, not someone who just wanted to tell me what I wanted to hear. He’s a straight shooter and once he’s on your side you’ll feel confident about the proceedings. Great experience and can’t thank him enough!!
