Matthew J Dudley

There is no better family law lawyer. My divorce was as nasty as they get. My ex and his parents had multiple filings in the wrong counties... my in laws tried to take custody of my kids, that was thrown out. My in-laws then put their unlimited money into fighting for their son to get full custody, a...fter a year and half they lost. Matt knows his stuff & he knows it good. Be honest with him, no lying or he’ll put you in your place real quick. Do what your supposed to do & he will do what he does best, WIN. He does the most for the least, no outrageous over billing. Matt Dudley & his wife are amazing, definitely who you want fighting for you not against you.

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.

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.

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!
