I hired Conklyn and associates to handle my divorce and Detric was in charge of my case. From the first moment to the last, he was professional, prompt and always courteous. He always answered my emails and was always available either by email or by phone. Unlike many lawyers, he did not try t...

I started my divorce on my own but simply didn't know what I was doing. I was lost and losing a terrible battle against my ex and his underhanded, obnoxious attorney. Both lied constantly; I could prove it, but didn't know how. Mr. Kemp came to my rescue like Superman. He swooped in, told me no more...

I started doing this case from the start by self, but after a loss, in a default case with my son's mother and she was granted temporary custody. I decided after that to search out a lawyer that could help me in the next part of the case. Detric helped me in my situation to get joint custody of...
"I can't recommend Detric Kemp enough. His dedication to his craft is truly unmatched. Besides referring clients to him, I often look to Detric for wisdom to help my clients and enhance my understanding of the law. He truly is a modern legal scholar. If you are reading this, build a relationship with him."
"Within weeks of trial I was referred to a client who had been negotiating pro se with Detric for months and the Marital Settlement Agreement was already nearly fully negotiated but unsigned due to my client's resistance on certain points. Detric explained to me the background fairly, firmly and without unnecessary contentiousness. It was apparent that my client hadn't prepared his case and that tweaking the settlement terms was his best option. Detric remained open-minded but resolute for his client's interest, and we ultimately settled on mutually acceptable terms. He promptly and honorably processed the QDRO to transfer retirement assets after the divorce. I trust his professionalism and fairness and would welcome the opportunity to work with him again."
