Matthew J Dudley

I lost my case to this man! He is an SOB in the courtroom and I wish I had got to him first!!! My children are back with me now (their choice) but in 2002 I walked out of that courtroom wanting to slap Malone (my attorney) in the face!!! Mathew Dudley was WAY more prepared than my attorney could ha...ve ever been! I am recommending him to my son now. You really can't go wrong with this man. Yes, it hurt me. Yes, I wanted to hurt him for making me look like a fool and taking my kids from me... But years later I see he would have been the only one I would want on my side! I can't wait to see how he handles my son's case. My granddaughter needs stability and it certainly isn't going to happen until Mathew takes over!!!

I was so happy to find Mr. Dudley after many attempts on my own and with other attorneys help. Going into a court room is always nerve racking and stressful. I am no lawyer, and I don't understand the language. I only want not to be taken advantage of, with Matthews knowledge, kind heart and great u...nderstanding the importance of children being with both parents, I feel he is fair and very respectable and would recommend him for all family law, my only regret is I did not find him earlier.

Matthew will represent his clients to the best of his abilities. I have read his other reviews and the negative remarks left here, I believe they are his strongest points. People below have said he is short on the phone or when answering questions, I say thank you Matt for keeping it short, this stu...ff cost money. People say he is rude to them or have talked down to them. I call this the Matthew Dudley pre trial, If you can't cut it in his office , you are going to do far worse in court. Matthew never told me i was going to win, actually he let me know that nothing was ever carved in stone. I have spent twice the money on other attorneys whom didn't have have the knowledge needed to make my case work. All I can say is ... I emotion you Matt.

He was amazing throughout the whole divorce process. He works long hours, answers emails and phone calls. When I was overwhelmed with the disclosure process, he had me come to his office and explained all the details. I was thankful that he was on my side after my 20 year marriage fell apart. At ...times, he seemed abrupt,but it was only to prepare me for a court appearance. He is an attorney that you definitely want to have in a family legal matter.

Matthew is the best at what he does. He is professional and extremely knowledgeable. Most individuals want someone to hold their hand and wipe their tears or pat them on the back, and they want their lawyer to do that for them. Matt is not that attorney. He defiantly has his own humor though and will... always make you feel better. He is strait forward, to the point, and he will not waist your time. If you make emotional decisions as most individuals make in divorce proceedings (I admit I made a few), he will call you on it, not because he is uncaring or, negative, or unprofessional but because by your actions are making a difficult situation impossible. Regarding communication, he is in his office early in the morning, available weekends, available on e-mail. He personally picks up the phone when available immediacy, conversations with him are to the point. I was surprised at times when he called me and it was early on a Sunday. He is extremely committed to you, but he will not put up with non sense. In my particular situation he helped me get my kids back. Mom was alleging the worse, so much that the court imposed supervised visitation simply based on mom’s word. I remember Matt was so disgusted with that decision that he continued to argue even after his time was up, and into chambers. That is how dedicated he was. I was angry and emotional about my situation. Matt helped me see the other side of it, helped me stay grounded, helped me concentrate on the actual issues at hand. I appreciate his strait forward approach with me. It may not work with everyone. Some may feel he is uncaring, he is not. Some may not feel he communicates enough, he communicated what is essential. He is not going to give you a daily play-by-play. He is also extremely fair in price, and is willing to work with you on payment. My ex went though two very good attorneys in town. I remember one of her attorney saying that they wanted something in place to protect me, before he finished their sentence Matt quickly tells him in court the he is responsible for protecting me, I had to smile. I stuck with Matt from beginning to end. With his help I now have my kids 50% of the time. I was almost named primary parent. I could not be happier with his representation. It did take close to a year and ½ for it, but it all turned out at the end. Do I recommend him? 1000% Yes, as I said before if you want a no non sense attorney that will fight for you and protect you even from yourself if he has to, then give him a call.
