The best family law attorney in Spokane

This is the second time I have hired Mr. Dudley and just as the first time he did not disappoint. His rates are reasonable, he is willing to work with you, he is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He is always available, weekdays, weekends, early in the morning. He is a no nonsense attorney. H...e helped me obtain 50/50 custody of children during my initial divorce and a highly contested custody case and help me obtain sole custody just recently. Both times we went to trial and Mr. Dudley was extremely well prepared. I would recommend him to anyone I know that is going though divorce and /or has a difficult custody case that they are dealing with. Especially fathers that sometimes tend to go into custody cases at a disadvantage. Don't let anyone dictate the time you get with your kids, contact Mr. Matthew J. Dudley and have him fight for you as he has fought not only for me but for countless others.

8 years of representation

I hired Dudley in 2017 (I believe), for a child custody case. I had been representing myself and was being grossly defamed of my character by opposing counsel. He was recommended by a friend at the time. He got back to me quickly for my consult and got to work quickly on assisting me. I have seen rev...iews of his “rude” remarks. Dudley seems very black and white and follows the law. I was very stressed out over the case. He gave it to me straight and I really appreciated that. It gave me a different perspective and allowed me to understand how the process/back and forth moving forward. Dudley was my lawyer until this year, 2025. I have full legal and physical custody. Had my ex-husband been more interested in being a father, rather than continuing a traumatic cycle, the case would have been closed a lot sooner. Based on my experience of what documents and evidence was provided to the court by opposing parties and how my ex-husband continued to hire new counsel, I am very thankful for Dudley. I got the impression that he took on clients that needed him and he cared for. It is not just a paycheck for him. If you can put your pride, anxiety, or trauma aside - he is the lawyer for you. If you need someone to hold your hand and sugar coat everything for you…maybe choose someone else. Like I said, I am very thankful for the work and treatment I received.

Matthew Dudley is an undercover super hero, I am HONORED to be his client.

Matthew Dudley is our super hero and I will always refer to him as such! He’s not just a lawyer, he is extremely passionate about what he does and fights his heart out for the best interest of a child. He is an honest man, with a brilliant level of intelligence. He can get the truth out of anyone wit...h strategic questions and wording. He is a man of fact and during the scariest time of your life, he teaches you to take the emotion out and to be confident in your experience. Mr. Dudley was a huge piece to the healing in our situation and made me feel so heard in court. He listens so well and absorbs every little detail in your case. You may not see it at first, but he has a heart of gold and cares deeply. He is not here to take but only to fight for those who need it. His work is remarkable and he is highly dedicated to his job. He responds very quickly, is organized, and efficient. A lawyer who should be on television and you should be HONORED if he takes you on as a client. SUPERHERO.

I highly recommend!

Matthew is phenomenal! I can't recommend him highly enough. I had hired another attorney but was frustrated with the lack of communication and follow through. A friend of mine had previously hired Matthew for custody issue and she raved about him. Matthew is direct and to the point, which I appreciat...e. There isn't handholding but that's what I pay my therapist for. He doesn't over-promise and definitely delivers. He operates with absolute precision, is extremely knowledgeable and communicates when needed. If you are looking for the best Matthew is it!

Best Lawyer I could Have Had

Mr. Dudley gets straight to the point and gets it done. I am so glad to have a lawyer like him on my side. I hope I never need a lawyer again but if I do, I want him 1000%. One thing I want to mention is that I had to call him around deadlines, but when I did-- whatever needed to be done was done rig...ht away. I don't even care that I needed to do that, and the only reason I mention it is so that people who use him know to keep track of their own deadlines. His service was invaluable to my family and his fees are extremely reasonable.
