Excellent!

Mr Dudley was referred to me by the counselor I was seeing. She said he was tough and he wins cases. So I googled him and found that he doesn't have a large firm or any paralegals, he does all the work himself. I called him and made an appointment to meet and explain my situation. I was in an abusive... relationship and needed help in getting a protection order and a divorce. This went to trial and Mr Dudley was amazing in his presentation and strategy, and the court ruled in favor of everything we had asked for. Mr Dudley's "bedside manner" is rough and he seems to have no compassion for what you're going through; but I would encourage anyone to keep going, he is actually prepping you for court. He is on your side, professional, experienced, and will go the extra mile to win your case. His fees are very reasonable and he does not waste any time or your money.

A++

I don't how I came across Matthew's information online, but I am so grateful I did. He was 1 of 5 attorneys I reached out to when I was desperate for help. He called me back in person and asked about the particulars of my case. I was from out of state and had to wait an additional length of time befo...re my case could be started. When I reached out to Matthew again, he had a clear recollection of my situation despite the months that had gone by. Having now concluded with the divorce proceeds, I know I made the right choice in having Matthew as an attorney. I was clueless about then length of time, effort, and considerable amount of paperwork my case I would. I would call or email Matthew so many times with questions in a panic. He doesn't have a secretary so he responded to everything himself and in a very unbiased, objective way - which I appreciated. Given my inexperience with the legal system, I know my case could have financially devastated me. Matthew understood my situation and his fees were more than reasonable. I'm so grateful to the outcome of my case and having custody of my kids. Matthew is the best of the best and an expert in his field. I'm so lucky that he agreed to take me on. If family law is what you need - look no further.

Yes, Mr. Dudley is certainly the right attorney for the job!

Mr. Dudley certainly has a strong passion for his job. When I entered his office for the first time, it was apparently obvious he was a workaholic. Mr. Dudley shown he understood the legal process and I instantly understood that was his area of expertise. What I learned and what was comforting, throu...gh the divorce process, was his strong ability and willingness to listen. He made my daughter and I feel very comfortable which led to a judgment in our favor of “sole custody.” Yes, “sole custody.” I am a Caucasian male, my wife and daughter are Native Americans, and honestly, I did not think that was possible. Mr. Dudley proved otherwise and certainly made my daughter and I feel like winners to this day. We could not ask for anything more but he shown to have a strong ability to draw reasonable and logical conclusions from our office discussions. During trial, Mr. Dudley demonstrated that he understood my life better than I did. His closing argument was so amazing that I received the final ruling to where I don’t even have to pay a heavy monthly alimony payment. In addition, another added bonus is his fees are more than reasonable. Mr. Dudley was certainly the right choice to represent my daughter and I, and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Wish I could give him 10 stars

I contacted Mr. Dudley in December of 2019 when I was still pregnant and he gave me legal advice, in which I did not listen to. I tried to be civil with my ex and do a parenting plan on our own to avoid trial. (I regret this now) I got served a proposed parenting plan from my ex and he was trying to ...take 100% custody of our daughter that he had not seen for months. I contacted Mr. Dudley and hired him. He made me cry a total of 3 times throughout the proceedings. 2 of which were happy tears. The other time he was calling me out for mistakes I have made during the process, and was my own doing. My case will be heard in court again, and I will be calling him back. Mr. Dudley doesn’t have paralegals and the information you give him doesn’t get lost in the office with multiple people. He knows the cases well and delivers results far beyond what I even asked for. He doesn’t care if he ticks off the other side (even the other lawyers) and fights hard and tirelessly for his clients. He even works on the weekends and I’ve spoke with him as late as 8 PM weekdays.
