I first contacted Mr. Dudley well before the divorce proceedings had started. After my first phone consultation we both hoped that my current situation could be resolved peacefully through mediation. However, when it became apparent that would not happen I quickly contacted Mr. Dudley and retained hi...m as my lawyer. From that first interaction I knew he was the right lawyer for me. He is extremely knowledgeable in family court matters and, despite what opposing parties state, he wants a quick and equitable outcome for all involved. With that said, he can be a formidably opponent in the courtroom and can articulate relevant matters with power and conviction. Some may consider him too straight forward or that he is relentless in his approach, but for anyone going through this process whom feel powerless he is exactly the lawyer you need. Mr. Dudley’s expertise is in the courtroom and he quickly showed his prowess in those initial proceedings which took the opposing party by surprise. By far Mr. Dudley is the best choice when it comes to divorce proceedings and will work to achieve agreed upon results. He is also one that will not take advantage of vulnerable individuals. His rates and fees are far less than the quotes that I received from other “professionals.” Some lawyers state they want the best outcome for their clients but charge for every single interaction you have with them from emails, text, phone calls, etc... yet with all those charges they cannot meet the same results Mr. Dudley provides. Hire him, you will not be dissatisfied.

After hiring 2 other attorneys he was the last and the best. In about a 5-year span I had spent thousands of dollars with other law firm and yielded absolutely no results. Shortly after hiring Mr Dudley my case was finally moving forward. I couldn't have asked for better better representation. He is ...very professional straight to the point and does not mess around. He cares for his clients in a manner i had not experienced with other law firms. I cringe at the thought of being on the opposite end of the courtroom when Mr Dudley is present. He knows the law meticulously and gives 100% to his clients. He is the only family law attorney in Spokane that I can wholeheartedly recommend to any friends and family that should need his service.

There is no better family law lawyer. My divorce was as nasty as they get. My ex and his parents had multiple filings in the wrong counties... my in laws tried to take custody of my kids, that was thrown out. My in-laws then put their unlimited money into fighting for their son to get full custody, a...fter a year and half they lost. Matt knows his stuff & he knows it good. Be honest with him, no lying or he’ll put you in your place real quick. Do what your supposed to do & he will do what he does best, WIN. He does the most for the least, no outrageous over billing. Matt Dudley & his wife are amazing, definitely who you want fighting for you not against you.

I retained Matthew Dudley after many people spoke very highly of him and his capabilities. I was not disappointed. He took a very difficult situation and walked me through the process and made me feel more comfortable along the way and put many of my fears to rest. Matthew is more than prepared in an...y court room setting and always ahead of the game in preparing for the unknowns. He never backs down and fights like a pit bull for what you need. Matthew was always available for any worries I had and addressed them in a very timely manner. He was very clear and concise on what he need from me, as well as what to expect. Matthew was also very quick to forward me any documents we would need in the court room as well as request documents that were needed. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to retain counsel to seek out Matthew Dudley because you cannot lose with him in your corner. It was the best decision I mad and I will call him again in the future if I need representation without hesitation. Thank you Mr. Dudley.

Matthew Dudley was the 3rd lawyer I hired in my fight for custody of my kids, and he was by far the best! Due to his performance on my case I got primary custody of my kids and the exact parenting plan I wanted. I honestly feel I could have gotten any parenting plan I wanted due to his outstanding p...erformance. He is a bulldog in the courtroom and comes to court prepared, knowledgeable of the case and with an unrivaled expertise in family law. Dudley's hourly rate was slightly more than my 1st lawyer, but due to his efficiency and effectiveness he ended up being about 90% cheaper. I am not exaggerating when I say I paid my 1st lawyer about 10 times more than I paid Dudley. Dudley represented my for approximately the same duration and appeared in court more times than my 1st lawyer. My ex's attorney was a scum bag, and he crushed the 1st lawyer I hired during my divorce. My 1st lawyer came highly recommended, but he was worthless in court and extremely expensive. My ex was allowed to take my kids and move out of state. 3 years later I hired my second attorney to try to get custody back due to my ex's poor parenting. She was also very expensive and ineffective. I fired her and hired Dudley because he came highly recommended from 3 separate acquaintances, whom had either hired him or gone against him. My ex's lawyer withdrew himself from representing my ex after going against Dudley 1 time in court because Dudley crushed him. My ex hired another lawyer and Dudley crushed her too. Hiring Dudley is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have a lot of experience with multiple lawyers, and Matthew Dudley is by far the best.
