Hands down an amazing attorney

A little over a year ago I hired Mr. Dudley as my attorney for a divorce and custody battle. With no idea what I was getting myself into, and feeling in the dark over a situation I felt I had little to no control over. With that being said Matthew swept me up and kept me going during the hardest time... of my life. If you are looking for someone to console you or make you feel better, this is not your guy. He is very straight to the point and blunt but man does he get the job done. He was always available when I needed, always got back to me in a timely fashion and was very organized. I would give me a 100 star rating out of 5. If you want the best you will get the best with Mr. Dudley.

Best lawyer in Spokane

I was referred to Matthew Dudley by numerous people, so I knew he had to be one of the best lawyers in town. Everyone that I talked to said that he really cares for children, and that he takes into consideration the emotional feelings that come with a divorce case. With my case, my ex lived in Canada..., and I had two children that I wanted full custody of. Matthew took my case and said he would fight for what I wanted to get out of the case; my two children and a fair, equal split of our properties and money. Matthew did exactly that and I was very happy with the outcome of my case. Mr. Dudley takes time out of his weekend to make sure you know he is there for you. If you ever need to contact him you have his personal phone number, and if he doesn't answer he calls you right back no matter what time or day. Matthew is an incredible lawyer and I would refer him to anyone. If you are looking for a lawyer that is tough and will fight for everything that you want out of your case then Matthew is excellent for the job.

Divorce Attorney

Hello, Mr. Dudley was recommended to me by a friend and I have never once regretted my decision to hire him on 01.05.2015 and the Divorce was finalized on 03.17.2016. One of the things that I really liked about him was the fact that I could get a hold of him at the oddest times. He does not wo...rk your typical 9 to 5 job. When I first talked with him about my divorce, I had left a voice mail and he called me back on a SUNDAY!!! how awesome is that. Mr. Dudley was/is straight forward, upfront and honest. I was charged a flat fee plus filing fee for the Divorce petition and was charged nothing extra. Whereas, my ex was charged by the hour. He did state that if we had to go to court that there would be extra fees involved for that. While this was emotional for me, Mr. Dudley remained unemotional and was my voice of reason. He has quite the dry sense of humor which I absolutely loved and dearly needed on occasion; (If you are looking for a lawyer that will commiserate and be emotional with you - this is NOT the lawyer for you.) If you are looking for a lawyer that will go to bat for you as long as you are honest upfront and straight forward with him, this is the Lawyer for you. In my process of getting divorced I ran into a few people here and there that also used Mr. Dudley and where very very satisfied with him and would also recommend him. Thank you Matthew!!!

A true advocate!!!!

After spending 11K on previous attorneys to get me a final parenting plan, I searched out for a bulldog attorney, who wasn't afraid to be my advocate, and do what I needed. I watched Matthew in court proceeding a few times to make sure he was right for me.... and boy was he!!!! He is so direct and to... the point (which doesn't waste your money), knows how to make a stand for his clients. Yes, as others have stated he is very direct and not afraid to call bull when he sees it!! (Don't you want a man like that on your side???) Which I greatly respect, and appreciate as it is easy to get caught up in the drama of child custody cases, with the he said/she said. He took care of all my concerns in a very appropriate time manner. When I would call and he was unable to answer, he would return my call right away. His fees are purely reasonable, if not better then most out there. He works seven days a week!!! He is committed to his clients and their families. My case had been going on six years, and I was so tired of attorneys jacking me around, Matt came right in and got the ball rolling. He kept me abreast on all the pertinent information. I received everything I wanted on my final parenting plan, and that was thanks to Matthews due diligence. I will use Matt as long as he is in practice and I tell everyone that I know that he is an amazing advocate for his clients. I will tell you this, if your one of those people that want someone to sugar coat everything involving your case, you won't like him, however I would encourage you to open your eyes and see that no one cares about all the drama that may be present in your case, they will care about that facts, and you will need someone who will be able to present the facts and prove your case in the court of law, then Matthew Dudley is your man!!!

Matthew J Dudley

Well since I had to pick a start an 1 was the lowest one that's what I picked. Matthew was recommended to me by a state worker, an boy were they wrong. From him being rude hard to get a hold of, to plan not even letting me know court date's have got changed. I can not say enough bad things about... this man. If this man was on fire I wouldnt piss on him to put him out. I felt that I had to allways get any an all info for him. Seams he was allways to busy to get any info on my ex. He just wanted to file motions an that was all he could do I can't even see how hes still practicing law in spokane. I couldnt answer a question about my child. He became very combativité an told me to get the "F" out of his office an said we were done, an to go get a different Lawyer. In conclusion I wouldnt recommend Matthew Dudley to anyone for anything.
