Great Lawyer

Matthew came highly recommended from fellow co-workers who hired him and one who opposed him and lost. He delivered as advertise. He is straight to the point, and his grasp of legal issues and family law is outstanding. His court delivery and preparation is exactly what you need in court. Your ar...guments to the court will be delivered as needed. He is a busy lawyer but will be ready when the time comes to represent you. The added bonus is he does not "nickel and dime" you for every little fee like I have had with other lawyers.

God is the best of planners

I didn't know what to expect the Friday I stepped into the County Clerks Office to verify some legal documents, but Mr Dudley was aligned with stars. After leaving the Clerks office I headed over to a law firm that was recommended by a close friend and minutes upon myour arrival Mr Dudley was in rout...e. Mr Dudley acknowledge me and recognized that we were in the Clerks office together. The law firm that was visited highly recommended Mr Dudley and was properly introduced. Mr Dudley is so keen to details that my stack of paperwork didn't bother him and read what was necessary to understand my circumstances. He explained to me what my wife was attempting with regards to my kids and he made a phone call to my wife to accept the challenge. About 3 hours later in court, he embarrassed my wife's counsel and I was able to spend time with my kids over the weekend. I'm forever grateful for his assistance!! So now he decided to represent me and I'm at peace with his professionalism and dry sense of humor. Straight to the point and knowledgeable of his craft. You won't be disappointed Thank you Mr Dudley

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.

A Few Bumps But Overall Very Impressive

Matthew was recommended to me by a family friend who had lost to him previously. He is exactly who I needed to represent us. Matthew has taken control of the courtroom and made everything very clear to the judge at the pretrial and trial. I wouldn't say I got exactly what I wanted out of it, but I go...t more than I thought I could. A few critiques for Matthew would be to better prepare his clients before mediation and to go over relevant medical records before court. Other than that I rather enjoy working with him and feel confident that he knows what he is doing and the best way to get it done. He doesn't sugar coat what he says and that made the process so much simpler. I plan on continuing to use his services and recommend him to anyone interested in hiring a family lawyer.
