Exceptional attorney

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...o prolong the case so he can bill for more hours. When I asked him to review a draft of the settlement proposal received from my ex, he suggested that we wait for the official copy from my ex's attorney so I would not have to pay him twice for his time to review. Best divorce attorney in Frederick!!!

Outstanding professional

I feel fortunate to have found such a knowledgeable and dedicated attorney. He provided excellent service and went above and beyond expectations. He is not only an outstanding attorney but is also a man with great character and compassion. We highly recommend him. He kept us constantly informed b...y phone and email and was always available and patient for all of our questions. I don't feel that we would have had a positive outcome without all of his dedication, compassion and hard work.

I got lucky when I found Detric Kemp!

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... worrying, that it was in his (extremely capable) hands. He took the stress for me, and turned it into a positive. He handled everything beautifully, honestly, and without compromising any values. He went above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. He basically saved my life. Thank you, Mr. Kemp!

The Right Guy

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... my son with me having primary custody. I gave him a lot of information to pour through for my case. He was able to streamline the information and use it for a positive affect on my custody case. I didn't know if it could be done or not but Detric pulled of a miracle, in a case with a lot of circumstantial evidence that was given to him to present. He didn't have to badger her on the stand but was able to use the evidence effectively to prove that she was a liar.

Uncontested divorce lawyer | Jul 15

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."
