Brilliant Mind

I cannot recommend Matthew Dudley highly enough. He is absolutely brilliant! He quickly identified several errors made by my ex's flashy, pristine suit-wearing attorney, with his fancy downtown office space. Matthew gets straight to the point and doesn’t indulge in unnecessary emotional discussions, ...which I had to keep reminding myself of during the process. Despite his no-nonsense approach, he is genuinely kind and showed real empathy when I was having a panic attack after one of our hearings. And yes, we won the case! Anyone who doesn’t appreciate him was likely on the opposing side. If you’re looking for a dedicated and effective attorney, you would be foolish not to hire Matthew Dudley. He truly knows the law!

A bulldog and affordable!!

Matthew doesn’t care about your feelings. Only facts. He’s not going to sugar coat anything and wants to get straight to the point. Listen to him and his directions carefully and follow them! He’s a great attorney and a bulldog in the court room. He got me everything I wanted and made my ex look like... a fool.

Make sure you have him on your side of the courtroom

I cannot express my gratitude enough for the advocacy and expertise that Mr. Dudley provided for me. I deeply appreciated the no nonsense advice and his help navigating the nasty divorce I unfortunately found myself in. You will absolutely want him in your corner!!!

A Beast in the Courtroom

Mr. Dudley was my lawyer for 3 + years and will be my future lawyer when the time comes. My case was a really tricky and sometimes complicated one. We were fighting my abusive ex and dealing with the case being even more complicated due to the ex being military court martialed and much of their inves...tigation couldn’t be released to me or my lawyer. He handled the situation beautifully though, and quickly learned how to handle some of the information coming from the military. The ex’s civilian lawyer was persistent and a snake in the grass. He pulled every thing he could and put me through hell, but once again Mr. Dudley did an amazing job handling him and all the many many court hearings. Yes, he’s a little rough around the edges. He’s not your therapist, he’s not going to sugarcoat things; he’s to the point and hates wasting time. He’s blunt and gets the job done. He’s amazing to watch in court and he slammed dunked won my case. I definitely want him in my corner and would hate to be going against him. All in all, he was a blessing to me and my kids. I will ALWAYS recommend him and definitely trust him as my lawyer to take care of things.

Clear and concrete. Straight forward.

Matthew Dudley. An amazing lawyer. Tough. Direct. Straight forward and to the point. He doesn’t mess around. He is always available and punctual. He doesn’t waste his or your time. Leads you in the right direction with your case. Gives options on how to handle the paperwork if you are willing and ab...le to put in the work and charges accordingly at a fair price. I hired him for my divorce dealing with DM and 4 children. I didn’t care much for materialistic items but Dudley proved to handle that with finesse. I cared for my children’s safety and my own. He informed me of all possibilities and led me towards the most likely to take place. To our surprise the judge took a much more stern approach that resulted in my favor. He kept me from falling into my emotions and to think clearly and respectively. Which if you have or currently are going through a divorce you know how difficult it can be to not let your emotions take control. I was able to reach him at the most unexpected times for guidance on how to handle unexpected life events through out the divorce process. He is very communicative and keeps it simple. If you want someone who is going to coddle you, sympathize with you, or acknowledge your emotions, find yourself a counselor. Matthew Dudley is a lawyer and amazing at it. Don’t let his direct, stern, and disciplined character scare you away! You won’t regret hiring him.
