Fight tooth and nail and focus on what matters most for your child

I hired Matthew for a messy child-custody battle full of underhanded tactics and lies. From our first meeting, he had a clear game plan, refused to let the other side get away with manipulation, and always kept my child’s best interests front and center. He didn’t hold back calling out every dirty t...rick and outright falsehood they tried. In court, his cross-exams were aggressive but totally professional, and he tore apart their false narratives one by one. Because of his laser-focused advocacy, the judge saw through all their fabrications and ruled in my favor. It was exactly what my child and I needed, and honestly, the best money I’ve ever spent I only wish I’d brought him on board sooner. If you want someone who’ll fight tooth and nail while staying smart and strategic, Matthew’s your guy. He’ll call out the BS, and focus on what matters most for your child, and deliver real results.

Brilliant Mind

I cannot recommend Matthew Dudley highly enough. He is absolutely brilliant! He quickly identified several errors made by my ex's flashy, pristine suit-wearing attorney, with his fancy downtown office space. Matthew gets straight to the point and doesn’t indulge in unnecessary emotional discussions, ...which I had to keep reminding myself of during the process. Despite his no-nonsense approach, he is genuinely kind and showed real empathy when I was having a panic attack after one of our hearings. And yes, we won the case! Anyone who doesn’t appreciate him was likely on the opposing side. If you’re looking for a dedicated and effective attorney, you would be foolish not to hire Matthew Dudley. He truly knows the law!

The Attorney You Want Fighting For You Not Against You

Matthew Dudley is by far the best attorney you can find. He is extremely well-spoken, hard-working, determined, and owns every courtroom that he sets foot in. Matthew Dudley is brilliant and observant. He takes note of each detail regarding your case and reveals the false narrative of opposing counse...l in a way that is professional and skillful. Other lawyers fear him, and with good reason. He has high morals and honors the law, with no need to stoop to their lower level or underhanded tactics. He made all the difference in my court cases, and I will run to hire him again if needed. If you need a lawyer to protect yourself or your family, you need Matthew Dudley.

Most outstanding attorney ever!

In my experience, it is rare that I feel compelled to write a review for someone unless they have done truly exceptional work. This is only the second time I have ever written a review, the first being for a mortgage lender. With that said, I have to say that Matthew Dudley is an extraordinary and ou...tstanding and somewhat miraculous family attorney who has truly gone above and beyond for us. We initially learned about Matthew Dudley through a friend, who had been turned down by him for representation. I was therefore hesitant when we first met, but Mr. Dudley quickly proved to be a no-nonsense attorney who tells the truth and is extremely direct, even to the point of being abrasive at times. He will not sugarcoat anything or act as a therapist, but rather, he will fight for you and your family. My father always told me to hire an attorney that other attorneys fear going up against, and Mr. Dudley fits that description. He is there to represent you and your family to the best of his ability. We hired Matthew Dudley to help us become de facto parents to our great granddaughter, and after a year of working with him, we went to trial. Matthew Dudley is an excellent trial lawyer, with a dynamic approach and a knack for finding and presenting key information that helped us get everything we asked for. He is also very respectful towards opposing counsel, and I believe that his attention to detail and careful preparation were key to our success in court. If you are considering hiring Matthew Dudley as your family attorney, I highly recommend him. He is dedicated to his clients, reasonably priced, and will always fight for you and your family. Just be sure to be honest with him and remember that he hates to repeat himself, so it is important to listen carefully to what he tells you. He will return your calls and emails as needed, although at times it may feel like you have not heard from him in a while - this is simply because there is no need for communication, and it is how he keeps his prices affordable. In short, you will not regret hiring Matthew Dudley as your attorney, and he will always be our family's go-to lawyer.

Absolutely the best lawyer

Matthew came highly recommended by someone I know. After struggling to find a lawyer I decided to go with the recommendation. I was so very glad I did. Matthew was efficient, honest, and very helpful in navigating my case. Matthew was excellent in court he argued very effectively for my case and won.... Matthew stayed in constant communication when anything important came up and was also very kind and professional. I can say that he is absolutely the very best. He worked exceptionally hard, was reassuring, and treated me and my family with great kindness throughout the duration of my case. I would hire Matthew again in a second and recommend him to anyone who needs help in this way. Thank you so much.
