Bert Dempsey has been practicing law since 1983. Following his own divorce in 1991 he began to accept dissolution of marriage cases. Following mediation training in 1996, Bert began his mediation practice. Since then he has focused on the non-adversarial resolution of divorce cases.

Collaborative law is the resolution of cases in which the conflicted parties agree not to litigate but do retain attorneys trained in the model. Bert attended the first Collaborative Law training in Colorado in 2001 and since that time has included the Collaborative model in his practice. This model is particularly suited for any situation in which the parties desire to maintain an ongoing relationship.

Bert is a former member and chairperson of the board of directors of Blue Sky Bridge, a non-profit organization assisting children and families dealing with childhood sexual abuse. Bert volunteered as a Court appointed special advocate CASA for Voices for Children from 1991-97. He is the father of a wonderful 19 year old.
