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.

He was unprepared, unorganized, rude and unprofessional. I have nothing positive to say about him. Don't make the mistake I made when I hired him for my child custody case. I lost because of him. He did not educate me and in the end he wasted my time. I would have been far better off if I had represe...nted myself. DO NOT HIRE HIM AND IF HE REPRESENTS YOU NOW... RUN!!!!

He is horribe at communication (rarely responded to my calls, texts or emails), unprofession, uninformed, uneducated on what the case was about, procrastinates too much and pretty much is the reason we lost our case. Due to not being prepared or being more aggressive in our case, we went from shared ...custody to parital custody even though we had extensive documentation to prove the shared arrangements. You would do better in court by representing yourself!
