Great Lawyer

Matthew came highly recommended from fellow co-workers who hired him and one who opposed him and lost. He delivered as advertise. He is straight to the point, and his grasp of legal issues and family law is outstanding. His court delivery and preparation is exactly what you need in court. Your ar...guments to the court will be delivered as needed. He is a busy lawyer but will be ready when the time comes to represent you. The added bonus is he does not "nickel and dime" you for every little fee like I have had with other lawyers.

The Real Deal

Matthew Dudley is an excellent attorney who gets the job done. He doesn't mess around with platitudes and does not beat around the bush: he tells it like it is and will be your best advocate. He has a passion for doing what is right; so, if you want to do otherwise, he is not your guy. Mr. Dudley's ...legal expertise and finesse in the courtroom exceeded my every expectation. I am very pleased with his representation and would highly recommend him to friends. A single caveat: If you have a ton of extra money and need someone to hold your hand and be your attorney/therapist, you should probably hire a high-priced lawyer who will talk to you on the phone/email you as often and as long as you like, charging $$$$ per hour. However, if you are looking for an attorney with a solid understanding of the law and a heart of gold who won't waste your time and money chatting unnecessarily, hire Mr. Dudley.

God is the best of planners

I didn't know what to expect the Friday I stepped into the County Clerks Office to verify some legal documents, but Mr Dudley was aligned with stars. After leaving the Clerks office I headed over to a law firm that was recommended by a close friend and minutes upon myour arrival Mr Dudley was in rout...e. Mr Dudley acknowledge me and recognized that we were in the Clerks office together. The law firm that was visited highly recommended Mr Dudley and was properly introduced. Mr Dudley is so keen to details that my stack of paperwork didn't bother him and read what was necessary to understand my circumstances. He explained to me what my wife was attempting with regards to my kids and he made a phone call to my wife to accept the challenge. About 3 hours later in court, he embarrassed my wife's counsel and I was able to spend time with my kids over the weekend. I'm forever grateful for his assistance!! So now he decided to represent me and I'm at peace with his professionalism and dry sense of humor. Straight to the point and knowledgeable of his craft. You won't be disappointed Thank you Mr Dudley

Excellent

I hired Matthew to represent me and file a parenting plan. He did exactly that, represented me. I have read some other reviews and find it funny that he has any bad reviews. His personality may be hard to adjust to for some, but his knowledge of law and thorough approach are what you are looking for.... He is honest and upfront. He will not waste your time and expects the same. Speaking from my experience as a single father who now has my daughter exactly half time, I can't say that someone else would have represented me as fully or as well as Matthew did. He took the time to understand my situation and was my daughters advocate just as much as he was paid to be mine. I can't recommend him enough and say that you don't want to see him representing the other party. Cheers Matthew.

Divorce Attorney

Hello, Mr. Dudley was recommended to me by a friend and I have never once regretted my decision to hire him on 01.05.2015 and the Divorce was finalized on 03.17.2016. One of the things that I really liked about him was the fact that I could get a hold of him at the oddest times. He does not wo...rk your typical 9 to 5 job. When I first talked with him about my divorce, I had left a voice mail and he called me back on a SUNDAY!!! how awesome is that. Mr. Dudley was/is straight forward, upfront and honest. I was charged a flat fee plus filing fee for the Divorce petition and was charged nothing extra. Whereas, my ex was charged by the hour. He did state that if we had to go to court that there would be extra fees involved for that. While this was emotional for me, Mr. Dudley remained unemotional and was my voice of reason. He has quite the dry sense of humor which I absolutely loved and dearly needed on occasion; (If you are looking for a lawyer that will commiserate and be emotional with you - this is NOT the lawyer for you.) If you are looking for a lawyer that will go to bat for you as long as you are honest upfront and straight forward with him, this is the Lawyer for you. In my process of getting divorced I ran into a few people here and there that also used Mr. Dudley and where very very satisfied with him and would also recommend him. Thank you Matthew!!!
