Matthew J Dudley

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.

Matthew Dudley is a top notch lawyer, yes, he is hard to deal with, but that is because he knows his stuff. If you listen to him, and deal with busy schedule, he is well worth it. He was very hard on meat times, but when I was being cross examined it paid off. He is just preparing you for the courtro...om. He might be a bit of an ass sometimes, but that's because he knows what needs to be done, and if you don't do it it's frustrating, because he knows what you need to do. He won me everything, and for a good price!!

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.

I was involved in a friends case. Her 1st attorney was a total loser that charged high fees to do nothing. Dudley doesn't mince words or drag out costs. He communicated clearly but didn't use billable time on fluff. He took a hard case & won it! W/o the game playing the other attorney took 3 yrs. Muc...h more bang for your buck!

I had a friend that referred me to Dudley! I will never use another attorney for such matters! He was outstanding and even though some of my case was frustrating he made sure I was taken care of and had no worries about my case! He is very professional and will be by your side from start to finish. M...r. Dudley is amazing in every aspect and I am constantly telling me people to seek his help for family law matters. His pricing is reasonable and he is very knowledgeable. I have completed my case and am at ease knowing he was by my side! Thank you for all your help!
