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!!!

A.K.A Cuddly - Dudley

To begin with, I had a very ugly case. One that had already been started and I dropped the ball on it and left it alone as I was in agreement with my child's father... When my daughter was returned to me abused from her fathers house, Matthew was the one I knew I needed to go see, as he was my husban...d's childrens' mothers attorney and did an amazing job. He may seem to some as satanic however he is a man with an enormous amount of knowledge, most definitely willing to fight for everything you want and at the same time with be 110% honest with you on if you are being reasonable or not and has enough experience to know what the wonderful judges of Spokane will go for as well and the satanic-ness is simply a form of knowing that he knows his jobs and will fight for you as that is what we all hire him to do. Over all my satisfaction with Mr. Cuddly - Dudley was beyond anything I ever imagined.

If you don't understand him, he probably doesn't understand you.

Matthew will represent his clients to the best of his abilities. I have read his other reviews and the negative remarks left here, I believe they are his strongest points. People below have said he is short on the phone or when answering questions, I say thank you Matt for keeping it short, this stu...ff cost money. People say he is rude to them or have talked down to them. I call this the Matthew Dudley pre trial, If you can't cut it in his office , you are going to do far worse in court. Matthew never told me i was going to win, actually he let me know that nothing was ever carved in stone. I have spent twice the money on other attorneys whom didn't have have the knowledge needed to make my case work. All I can say is ... I emotion you Matt.

Experienced, ethical, thorough representation

Matthew Dudley represented me in the Fall of 2013 in regards to my divorce/parenting plan. Mr. Dudley was able to adequately explain processes to me, supported me in gathering the necessary depositions, returned my phone calls in a timely manner, provided me with advance information of impending cour...t dates. Mr. Dudley proved to be an excellent representative in the courtroom, adequately presenting information to the court and responding to the other party. In my interactions with him and throughout this process I continuously felt that his actions were related to the best interests of my children as well as in line with the law. I found him to be extremely ethical.
