Dont waste your time.

I hired Mr Dempsey for a family law case. After the trial portion he disappeared. Missed deadlines, no communication at all, no return emails, text or phone messages. I had to go to his office to track him down. He blatantely lied to me while I was there by saying he was going to do something that he... didnt do. 2 1/2 months later There is still no communication. While I ambushed him at his office I wasn't the only one there for that reason. There were 2 other parties. Up until the last trial day he was excellent. He is a fierce litigator, He was excellent in trial and arguments. But then he just decided to not do anything at all.

outstanding representation

Mr. Dempsey represented me at family court. I had consulted with a number of local lawyers, and can say without hesitation that he stands head and shoulders above the crowd. He was recommended to me as "an excellent trial lawyer." After seeing him in action, I'd amend that to "trial warrior."
