gold star

Matthew did a great job dealing with a bunch of moving parts and a very uncooperative opposition. He is efficient, very knowledgeable, and can effectively move a case through the courts with as little pain as possible. He took care of most of my court dealings, so I didn't even need to be there unt...il trial. He isn't a dramatic person, which saves the client and himself time. He's very straight forward. If you need a lawyer, he's fantastic. If you need a lawyer/life counselor, I would still hire him, but use a separate counselor/friend/beautician/bartender to vent to. I had numerous people recommend him, and they were right! I will continue to use him.

A Blessing

I was recommended by my former attorney who suggested Matthew. Due to the fact she was not a trail attorney. My soon to be ex husband is not at all a compromising type of person. When I met with Matthew I knew right off the bat that he would be one of my blessings. When we spoke I truly appreciate...d the fact that he is who he is. He is straight forward and tells you like it is. Does not sugar coat anything. You are fully prepared on everything. He speaks from experience and does not just tell you what you want to hear to make it all better. My case went to a special trial. Unfortunately we were given trial dates many times, but at no fault to Matthew they were cancelled many times by the court. I have been trying to get a divorce since 2015 and now awaiting the Judges ruling. My case involved a minor child whom is a teenager. No matter what the out come of my case. He did everything I wanted and then some. He amazed me in court. He speaks direct question after question. He is there to win your case. He doesn't go on and on about non sense issues on the stand just to hear him self talk. He put me to easy and helped me understand how the entire process works. I could go on and on about how great he is. I will say that if you need an attorney to get it done and done the right way the first time around Matthew Dudley is your guy. I have the nothing, but respect for Mr Dudley. Thank you for always being up front and honest with me. I did see some reviews have stated Matthew as being rude. I don't consider an Attorney rude when he is just telling you like it is straight and to the point. So I say this, people before you write your reviews think to yourself. Did He do everything he could with the facts that were given to him. Take a step outside and look in with different eyes. Just because everything thing didn't go your way does not make him a bad attorney. He nor any attorney can predict the out come of any case. No attorney likes losing a case. Unfortunately having to go to any attorney for family law is awful and painful. I don't wish having to go though this on my worse enemy. But if you ever find yourself in need of one Mr Dudley should be yours. Thank you Matthew! P.S. He does have a great sense of humor.

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.

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.
