Clear and concrete. Straight forward.

Matthew Dudley. An amazing lawyer. Tough. Direct. Straight forward and to the point. He doesn’t mess around. He is always available and punctual. He doesn’t waste his or your time. Leads you in the right direction with your case. Gives options on how to handle the paperwork if you are willing and ab...le to put in the work and charges accordingly at a fair price. I hired him for my divorce dealing with DM and 4 children. I didn’t care much for materialistic items but Dudley proved to handle that with finesse. I cared for my children’s safety and my own. He informed me of all possibilities and led me towards the most likely to take place. To our surprise the judge took a much more stern approach that resulted in my favor. He kept me from falling into my emotions and to think clearly and respectively. Which if you have or currently are going through a divorce you know how difficult it can be to not let your emotions take control. I was able to reach him at the most unexpected times for guidance on how to handle unexpected life events through out the divorce process. He is very communicative and keeps it simple. If you want someone who is going to coddle you, sympathize with you, or acknowledge your emotions, find yourself a counselor. Matthew Dudley is a lawyer and amazing at it. Don’t let his direct, stern, and disciplined character scare you away! You won’t regret hiring him.

Matthew Dudley is the BEST!!!

I will Forever be Grateful for Matthew Dudley! After a year-long emotionally/financially draining custody battle for my son, I knew I needed a more fine-tuned lawyer. So, from word of mouth that Mr. Dudley was the Best, I hired him. Hands down the best choice I’ve ever made! Not only did he win my ca...se but I have been vindicated! He held my son’s father accountable for everything he put me through. Yes, I won’t lie he made me cry a few times, but little did I realize he was building my strength because in reality he has a Heart of Gold, even if he tries to hide it. If you want to win, hire Matthew Dudley!

Spokane's best!

Matthew Dudley was the second lawyer for my custody case and boy, I wish I would have used him first! Not only are his rates more then affordable but the way he handled my case showed his years of experience. This was a very difficult situation for my family and Dudley handled everything with such ea...se and care. There were times I would get ahead of myself, stress myself out on situations and question everything I was doing and as soon as I would check in with Dudley, he would instantly calm my nerves and make sure I knew I was doing my best for what was given. When Dudley shows up for court, he shows up more then prepared. Not once did I ever leave feeling like more should have been said, or that I wasn't being heard by anyone. He was also very compassionate to my situation but he knew when to pull me back to reality instead of letting my mind wonder. I will forever be grateful for his service. While I hope I don't need his services in the future, he will always be my first and only call. He ensured that my child's safety was number one and our outcome was exactly what I was hoping for!

A++

I don't how I came across Matthew's information online, but I am so grateful I did. He was 1 of 5 attorneys I reached out to when I was desperate for help. He called me back in person and asked about the particulars of my case. I was from out of state and had to wait an additional length of time befo...re my case could be started. When I reached out to Matthew again, he had a clear recollection of my situation despite the months that had gone by. Having now concluded with the divorce proceeds, I know I made the right choice in having Matthew as an attorney. I was clueless about then length of time, effort, and considerable amount of paperwork my case I would. I would call or email Matthew so many times with questions in a panic. He doesn't have a secretary so he responded to everything himself and in a very unbiased, objective way - which I appreciated. Given my inexperience with the legal system, I know my case could have financially devastated me. Matthew understood my situation and his fees were more than reasonable. I'm so grateful to the outcome of my case and having custody of my kids. Matthew is the best of the best and an expert in his field. I'm so lucky that he agreed to take me on. If family law is what you need - look no further.

Yes, Mr. Dudley is certainly the right attorney for the job!

Mr. Dudley certainly has a strong passion for his job. When I entered his office for the first time, it was apparently obvious he was a workaholic. Mr. Dudley shown he understood the legal process and I instantly understood that was his area of expertise. What I learned and what was comforting, throu...gh the divorce process, was his strong ability and willingness to listen. He made my daughter and I feel very comfortable which led to a judgment in our favor of “sole custody.” Yes, “sole custody.” I am a Caucasian male, my wife and daughter are Native Americans, and honestly, I did not think that was possible. Mr. Dudley proved otherwise and certainly made my daughter and I feel like winners to this day. We could not ask for anything more but he shown to have a strong ability to draw reasonable and logical conclusions from our office discussions. During trial, Mr. Dudley demonstrated that he understood my life better than I did. His closing argument was so amazing that I received the final ruling to where I don’t even have to pay a heavy monthly alimony payment. In addition, another added bonus is his fees are more than reasonable. Mr. Dudley was certainly the right choice to represent my daughter and I, and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
