Matthew J Dudley

I have nothing new to add that hasn't already been said about this man. He is amazing at what he does and I will forever be grateful for his help. I love that he makes himself available to clients, that he actually responds to emails and return calls. When I was looking around for a lawyer I can't te...ll you how many offices said that they 'would check the availability of their attorneys and get back to me' to never be heard from again. Mr. Dudley returned my call the same day and we were able to set up a time to meet that week. He was honest about what to expect, stayed in contact and provided me with everything I needed. Mr. Dudley is everything people say he is and there is a reason that he is one of the most recommended family law lawyers in our area. I would recommend him to anyone that thinks that they may be facing a difficult divorce or family law issue. I hope that I will never need to use him again, but should I ever face another issue he's going to be the only lawyer I call.

Matthew has been the best thing that has happened to me and my family. He is always there when I need him, quick to answer questions, and is always straight to the point. He is very honest, compassionate and always has my best interest at heart. The best advice he ever gave me, "stop overthinking and... take the emotion out of it, you will begin to think clearly." I use this in all aspects of my life. He is the best lawyer I have ever dealt with and he is very much appreciated.

Matthew Dudley has represented me on and off in a parenting case over the past few years and I am so grateful for his help as there is no one else I’d rather have represent me! If anyone has anything negative to say about him, it’s because they were the ones going up against him and hate how powerles...s they are against him. My ex was even frustrated because he couldn’t find an attorney willing to take his case after the attorneys figured out they had to go up against Matthew. He also does not just tell you what you want to hear. He tells you like it is and there aren’t any surprises when it comes time to for your hearing. (Aside from the fact that I was totally stunned by how Matthew practically runs the show in the courtroom and is CLEARLY the most powerful voice.) My point is, that if you hire Matthew, you won’t be disappointed one bit. It also doesn’t hurt that his rates are more than likely the best you’ll find as well. Just don’t let you ex hire him before you do!

Never have I worked with a more pragmatic individual, nor someone as adept in their field of practice as Matthew Dudley. Our case stagnated in the family court system for a very long time, and I needed an attorney to help navigate the intricacies of our case. Mr. Dudley was recommended to me by a...n acquaintance who described him as a bulldog, and as someone you'd hope to avoid arguing against at trial. He's not the first attorney I had a consultation with, but he's the only one I'd recommend. Early on in our case, I recognized a trend among some family law attorneys. Too much effort was spent trying to protect their working relationships with fellow attorneys, gravitating toward appeasement rather than trying to accomplish what your family wants/needs. But that's not Matthew Dudley. If you have a case, this guy will unabashedly lean into any conflict and bring it to resolution. He's effectively engineered a process to help more clients than (what I believe to be) a normal amount for an attorney in Spokane. Court dates and the ensuing conflict used to be the most stressful thing about my life, and hiring this guy offered a new experience. Listening to the man argue your case is a marvel to behold. Attorneys are paid by the hour, and this guy's ethics don't allow him to run up your bill trying to coddle your ego, talk about your day, or commiserate about how awful your ex-spouse has been lately. He wants to help your family, and does a fantastic job. I'll likely never be able to repay him for what he's enabled us to do for our kids. 10/10 would recommend.

He doesn’t waste: time, money or effort. He is blunt and truthful. He wont coddle you or tell you what you want to hear in order to make money. He will tell you the truth, and that’s it. How do I know: I was on the ropes, fighting for my kids as a dad, blew $14k on a lawyer that lied, and had ...no options. Mr. Dudley took my case, and after 6-8 months of truthful guidance and legal help I won. If you read anything from anyone who didn’t like him the reason is simple: they lost to him, and/or they are liar. He dealis in truth, and not emotion.
