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.

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.

The best attorney to ever hire

If I could give Matthew Dudley more stars, I absolutely would. He is, hands down, the best attorney I’ve ever met. He truly cares about the kids and keeps their best interests front and center. In court, he’s an absolute bulldog—fearless, focused, and determined. You definitely want him on your side.... What also stood out to me is how affordable he is, especially for parents who may not have a lot of money to work with. He makes quality legal representation accessible, and that’s rare. I’ll be recommending him to any parent who needs strong, compassionate legal help. He exceeded all my expectations.

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.

Great Lawyer

When I first started my search, I searched google for legal practices with great reviews. But they wanted me to place an initial $5K deposit to move forward. I asked my military colleague if they knew of a good civilian lawyer. They recommended Mr. Dudley. I admit he has a strong personality at times..., but I absolutely would recommend him to any military member. He is fair with his prices, passionate, dedicated, and represents his clients to the best of his ability. If I need a lawyer again, he will be my first call.
