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.

Seek a professional, not this guy!

Mr. Dudley has represented friends of mine in the past and they have been happy with his services and so I chose to retain him for parenting plan disputes with my ex. Mr. Dudley was next to impossible to reach on the phone and when I was able to reach him he was rude. I was willing to deal with his a...ttitude though if he was at least good at representing me. Half the time he did not keep me up to date on what was happening with my case. At one time my ex was trying to move out of state with my child. Mr. Dudley told me that there was nothing I could do to stop her so I went to a different attorney to get a second opinion. The second attorney told me that I absolutely could stop my ex from moving out of state with my child so I retained him and won. If it had been left up to Mr. Dudley my child would be GONE! I believe that Mr. Dudley was once a very good lawyer, but he seems to have lost his passion. Thankfully I fired Mr. Dudley before seeking custody of my child. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Outstanding, Aggressive, Clever, and Hard Working

When it comes to complicated ex's and cases, you need an aggressive attorney by your side. My situation was/is complicated to say the least. When I came to Matt, it was a mess. My previous attorney was a complete moron. So I was in need of a new one. First thing said, Matt is not your kumbaya attorne...y. He is straight and to the point to a fault. Lets face it, going through a divorce is no picnic and you need a terminator to fight for you. To be very frank that is what he was for me. I highly recommend him and I am very confident while I type this, that I would use him again, and most likely will; in the future. He was Aggressive in court, Firm with the other party when needed and was Responsive when I asked questions or seek advise. If you find yourself in a complicated state of being and you need a terminator, Matthew Dudley will be that for you. At the end of the day I am very pleased with my outcome and the work he has done for me and my family and because of it we are better off.

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.

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.
