Fight tooth and nail and focus on what matters most for your child

I hired Matthew for a messy child-custody battle full of underhanded tactics and lies. From our first meeting, he had a clear game plan, refused to let the other side get away with manipulation, and always kept my child’s best interests front and center. He didn’t hold back calling out every dirty t...rick and outright falsehood they tried. In court, his cross-exams were aggressive but totally professional, and he tore apart their false narratives one by one. Because of his laser-focused advocacy, the judge saw through all their fabrications and ruled in my favor. It was exactly what my child and I needed, and honestly, the best money I’ve ever spent I only wish I’d brought him on board sooner. If you want someone who’ll fight tooth and nail while staying smart and strategic, Matthew’s your guy. He’ll call out the BS, and focus on what matters most for your child, and deliver real results.

I highly recommend!

Matthew is phenomenal! I can't recommend him highly enough. I had hired another attorney but was frustrated with the lack of communication and follow through. A friend of mine had previously hired Matthew for custody issue and she raved about him. Matthew is direct and to the point, which I appreciat...e. There isn't handholding but that's what I pay my therapist for. He doesn't over-promise and definitely delivers. He operates with absolute precision, is extremely knowledgeable and communicates when needed. If you are looking for the best Matthew is it!

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.

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.
