In the middle of 2021, I was arrested for a felony drug charge. It was the first time in my life that I had ever been in any legal trouble at all. Not only was I scared about having to fight a criminal case, but also, because of my immigration status, I was concerned that a conviction would jeopardize my ability to keep living in the United States & to eventually become a U.S. citizen. Thankfully, a good friend of mine referred me to Patrick Dudley as I was facing this very stressful and quite honestly scary legal situation. She told me that he was a well-respected, trustworthy, & experienced criminal defense attorney who knew what he was doing, and he was easy to communicate with. When I reached out to Patrick, he responded very quickly and was ready to help.  From the moment Patrick took my case, he started to put my mind at ease.  He patiently explained the criminal & immigration laws & court procedures to me, and then told me how he was going to communicate with the D.A. before the court date to try to convince their office to not file any charges against me. Throughout this process, Patrick kept me in the loop about everything he was doing. And indeed in the end, Patrick convinced the D.A. to not file any charges against me.  Patrick calmly shepherded me through one of the most anxious points of my life. I am grateful & happy for his work & compassion on my behalf. If you ever need a criminal defense attorney who will fight for you, you need to hire Patrick.

Patrick Dudley was my attorney on a 211 (armed robbery) case. It was a very serious case with depressing consequences. This case went on in the courts for a long period of time and throughout that time he was always attentive and just a phone call away. He kept me informed and did everything he could to help me. He filed and argued motions to help me in the case. The case eventually went to a jury trial where I was acquitted of all charges and got to go home to be with my baby boy. He is an excellent lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone.

I can not speak highly enough about Patrick. He was professional and understanding, and willing to work with my busy schedule. He assisted me in getting my DUI reduced to a wet reckless, and was successful in getting me the proper charges. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help.

Patrick stayed on top of the case, kept me up to date on how all hearings and meetings went, got me reduced community service, and reduced fines, and reduced charges. He was very professional and helped me realize the best possible outcome in my case. On top of that he’s a cool guy and a good man. Much respect, thank you Patrick!

Mr. Dudley is a great lawyer. I was looking at a 44 to life sentence. He magically got me a second chance at life. He got me a sweet deal! I’ll be coming home one day. Google my case. Google “Lon Chhay” and “attempted murder”. You’ll see Mr. Dudley gave me a second chance. I’m forever thankful for his professionalism and hard work!

Patrick has been my criminal attorney for more than 10 years. If you’re looking for a solid attorney and a good personal experience, Patrick’s your man. The service is inexplicable. There are no smoke and mirrors. He fights hard and will tell you how it is. He has become a friend of mine over the years and I will continue to refer and endorse him.
