Matthew J Dudley

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!!

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.

Matt helped me with my parenting plan as well as my child support case. My case seemed easy at first but going through everything seemed a little much so I hired Matt. Matt helped explain everything to me while fighting for what was needed. He was patient and to the point and I felt he understood... and listened to what I needed. I would recommend Matt for any Family Law need and would hire him again in a second.

When I filled for divorce I asked around to friends and co workers about a great lawyer. I had 3 different people tell me that thay didn't know one, but there is this lawyer Matthew Dudley who made there lawyer look like an idiot in court. So I called him! Best choice that I ever made! Tell the tru...th, dont play games and if you have matthew you will gets what's fair or better. My ex made up lies and called CPS and a bunch of bs. Matthew listened , he cared and he will fight for what is right and the truth! Thanks Matthew

He doesn’t waste: time, money or effort. He is blunt and truthful. He wont coddle you or tell you what you want to hear in order to make money. He will tell you the truth, and that’s it. How do I know: I was on the ropes, fighting for my kids as a dad, blew $14k on a lawyer that lied, and had ...no options. Mr. Dudley took my case, and after 6-8 months of truthful guidance and legal help I won. If you read anything from anyone who didn’t like him the reason is simple: they lost to him, and/or they are liar. He dealis in truth, and not emotion.
