Matthew J Dudley

I first contacted Mr. Dudley well before the divorce proceedings had started. After my first phone consultation we both hoped that my current situation could be resolved peacefully through mediation. However, when it became apparent that would not happen I quickly contacted Mr. Dudley and retained hi...m as my lawyer. From that first interaction I knew he was the right lawyer for me. He is extremely knowledgeable in family court matters and, despite what opposing parties state, he wants a quick and equitable outcome for all involved. With that said, he can be a formidably opponent in the courtroom and can articulate relevant matters with power and conviction. Some may consider him too straight forward or that he is relentless in his approach, but for anyone going through this process whom feel powerless he is exactly the lawyer you need. Mr. Dudley’s expertise is in the courtroom and he quickly showed his prowess in those initial proceedings which took the opposing party by surprise. By far Mr. Dudley is the best choice when it comes to divorce proceedings and will work to achieve agreed upon results. He is also one that will not take advantage of vulnerable individuals. His rates and fees are far less than the quotes that I received from other “professionals.” Some lawyers state they want the best outcome for their clients but charge for every single interaction you have with them from emails, text, phone calls, etc... yet with all those charges they cannot meet the same results Mr. Dudley provides. Hire him, you will not be dissatisfied.

After hiring 2 other attorneys he was the last and the best. In about a 5-year span I had spent thousands of dollars with other law firm and yielded absolutely no results. Shortly after hiring Mr Dudley my case was finally moving forward. I couldn't have asked for better better representation. He is ...very professional straight to the point and does not mess around. He cares for his clients in a manner i had not experienced with other law firms. I cringe at the thought of being on the opposite end of the courtroom when Mr Dudley is present. He knows the law meticulously and gives 100% to his clients. He is the only family law attorney in Spokane that I can wholeheartedly recommend to any friends and family that should need his service.

There is no better family law lawyer. My divorce was as nasty as they get. My ex and his parents had multiple filings in the wrong counties... my in laws tried to take custody of my kids, that was thrown out. My in-laws then put their unlimited money into fighting for their son to get full custody, a...fter a year and half they lost. Matt knows his stuff & he knows it good. Be honest with him, no lying or he’ll put you in your place real quick. Do what your supposed to do & he will do what he does best, WIN. He does the most for the least, no outrageous over billing. Matt Dudley & his wife are amazing, definitely who you want fighting for you not against you.

Matthew Dudley was the 3rd lawyer I hired in my fight for custody of my kids, and he was by far the best! Due to his performance on my case I got primary custody of my kids and the exact parenting plan I wanted. I honestly feel I could have gotten any parenting plan I wanted due to his outstanding p...erformance. He is a bulldog in the courtroom and comes to court prepared, knowledgeable of the case and with an unrivaled expertise in family law. Dudley's hourly rate was slightly more than my 1st lawyer, but due to his efficiency and effectiveness he ended up being about 90% cheaper. I am not exaggerating when I say I paid my 1st lawyer about 10 times more than I paid Dudley. Dudley represented my for approximately the same duration and appeared in court more times than my 1st lawyer. My ex's attorney was a scum bag, and he crushed the 1st lawyer I hired during my divorce. My 1st lawyer came highly recommended, but he was worthless in court and extremely expensive. My ex was allowed to take my kids and move out of state. 3 years later I hired my second attorney to try to get custody back due to my ex's poor parenting. She was also very expensive and ineffective. I fired her and hired Dudley because he came highly recommended from 3 separate acquaintances, whom had either hired him or gone against him. My ex's lawyer withdrew himself from representing my ex after going against Dudley 1 time in court because Dudley crushed him. My ex hired another lawyer and Dudley crushed her too. Hiring Dudley is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have a lot of experience with multiple lawyers, and Matthew Dudley is by far the best.

I had filled for divorce and was going for custody of my two children. With all at stakes I decided to seek legal representation. Was referred to Matthew Dudley and glad I did. He took my case and got everything I could want. I liked his knowledge of family/divorce law and used his recommendation...s for how to proceed and that’s exactly what I wanted, not someone who just wanted to tell me what I wanted to hear. He’s a straight shooter and once he’s on your side you’ll feel confident about the proceedings. Great experience and can’t thank him enough!!
