Phone interview

Mr. Dudley came highly recommended by two friends. I was willing to ignore his poor bedside manner in favor of just getting my divorce over with. He insisted my current counsel is more than adequate & didn't find my desire of wanting to switch credible. I'm already dealing with a difficult situatio...n that he has no competence of. My current counsel either has too much or is lazy & Mr. Dudley made inaccurate assumptions on all counts. I had hoped for an in person meeting. When I explained that I was in the right vicinity but couldn't find his building (Tapio) he just laughed. He's not worth it.

Definitely worth the money!!!

I had to hire Matthew because I was served papers from my ex. She was wanting to take me to the cleaners. She wanted to take my daughter and make it so I had very little time with her and for me to pay child support. Matthew did an awesome job right from the start. He got me a temporary parenting pla...n with 50/50 custody and zero child support and that lasted about 12 months. He did everything for me and sent me everything he got from the courts, keeping me updated all the time. He is a very direct and to the point guy. But he is a very nice guy too. We ended up going to trial over a year later because my ex couldn't get her stuff together and kept this case open for a long time. But we went to trial lasting two days and Matthew did an excellent job and he definitely knows what he is doing. He got me still 50/50 custody and I ended up having to pay some some child support. But that's ok I feel that WE WON! If i didn't have Matthew on my side I would have got nothing close to what he got me. I would refer him to any body I know. Family, friends, or just anyone that wants a awesome attorney. He is worth every penny. Money well spent. Matthew Dudley is definitely the guy you want representing you in your case.

Think Twice

If you want a lawyer that has not care or concern towards your case hire Matthew Dudley. If you want a lawyer that has zero communication, hire Matthew Dudley. If you want a lawyer who is unprepared for all court cases hire Matthew Dudley. If you want a lawyer who in the end helps you loose your cour...t case, hire Matthew Dudley. If you want a lawyer who responds to all your questions and inquires as if you are an annoyance and weeks later, go ahead and hire Matthew Dudley. If you want a lawyer who hangs up on you and doesn't call you back during high conflict times of your divorce, hire Matthew Dudley. If you want a lawyer who doesn't tell you of court dates until the day before, go ahead and hire Matthew Duddley. He is has no social skills, communication skills, lawyer skills, or any humanity as far as I could tell. I should have just written a check to my ex-wife a year before the divorce was final just not to have to deal with my horrible lawyer, who was Matthew Duddley.

Couldn't Have Had A Better Lawyer

Matthew is AMAZING! I was referred to him by a co-worker, who's friend was using him. When I arrived at Matthew's office, I was broken, scared and physically sick. My ex was a bully. I didn't know how to break the cycle. Matthew's first words to me where "come in, she who doubts herself". He was dire...ct and honest. There was no sugar coating anything. He told me if I was out of line in things regarding my ex but backed me up when it was the right thing to do. Matthew does not tolerate bullies! He will do what is necessary for you and your child. He will fight for you and present your case TRUTHFULLY in court. Matthew is affordable. He will not charge you ridiculous fees. Full disclosure, if you imagine an attorney's office with fancy desks, a receptionist and water cooler....this is not the office. Matthew works in organized chaos and he remembers EVERYTHING. It's important to note that Matthew is one of the busiest divorce lawyers in town. He spends a good part of the week in court, so it can be difficult to reach him, but he will get back to you! I have grown quite fond of Matthew over the last 15 months. I wouldn't change a thing about having Matthew represent me. Now that my divorce is final, I am going to truly miss Mr. Dudley, aka Mr. Grinch.
