A Very Worthwhile Meeting

I needed a credible source of information on where I stood financially in my marriage. I felt very vulnerable, since I didn't know how a rather complex financial situation was likely to be resolved. Katie gave me the confidence to stand up to my husband and get the respect I deserved. He was furious ...at first and then once he realized I was working with good information, he developed a healthy respect for me that was absent for a long time. She's definitely a quality source for legal advice and I will recommend her to others.

Issues after divorce

As in most divorces, ex-spouses can be contentious and stubborn long after the divorce decree has been issued. Ongoing issues such as child support and medical reimbursements can remain difficult sources of conflict. Kate was extremely competant, reassuring and meticulous in fighting hard for my r...ights. She was readily available to me at all times and gave 110% effort on my behalf. As such, I have always been pleased with the outcomes she has obtained. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone I know.

A Rare Diamond I Was Very Blessed to Find!!!

Katherine (Kate) is truly a magnificent lawyer, counsel and will become a person you will know for life. I found Kate after being served with divorce papers and she immediately made me feel at "home" from a very stressful situation. I met with her and left her office "relaxed" knowing that I was in... great hands and that I would be Alright!!! After spending almost eleven months with Kate on my case, I have always felt blessed to have met her and have her handle my issues. She has "talked me off the ledge" quite a few times as the opposing counsel and soon to be "Ex" turned out to be very troublesome, to say the least. Kate was never rattled by any of this nonsense, but I cannot say the same about me. However, after talking issues through with Kate, I always felt 100 times better and knew that I would be alright because Kate was there to protect my side!!! In fact, through some crazy times, Kate would always interject some of her "dry humor", and I would leave the phone smiling and laughing to myself after a stressful situation was diffused by Kate's intelligent way of "sizing up the actual situation" as a Realist where I was clouded in "emotion", YES EMOTION!!! Kate and her partner, Kevin, are well versed in every aspect of the law they practice and I have never looked back from my fateful first visit to discuss a very stressful time in my life. Would i recommend Kate to someone facing the same stressful situation I faced??? I would recommend her and Zlock and Coverdale in a New York Minute if not second. Thank you Kate for being with me on this crazy, zany ride!!!!!

Outstanding Attorney and Highly Recommend

First, I want to thank Kate for all that she has done to help me through the divorce process. Kate is an exceptionally knowledgeable, caring, patient and supportive attorney. Whenever I had questions, she was prompt in answering them which helped me understand the divorce process. I would recommend h...er and the entire practice to anyone who needs a team who will work 100% for their client. Having her as one of my attorneys was the best decision I made. Kevin, Kate and the entire staff I want to thank you and appreciate all that you have done for me. If you want an outstanding attorney who truly will care about helping you through your divorce, do not hesitate to have Kate represent you.

I highly recommend Kate!

I can not say enough about Kate Coverdale. Not only is she a knowledgeable, professional, smart, trustworthy attorney but she is also an extremely compassionate person. Her guidance through a very difficult divorce has been invaluable. Her knowledge of the law enables her to set realistic expectat...ions which was extremely helpful during such a stressful process. She is levelheaded, calm and reassuring with a level of confidence that is well deserved. Not only is Kate quick to reply to emails and texts, but her staff is extremely courteous and responsive as well. Kate is an excellent listener and I always felt like she understood what I was hoping to achieve as a final result. I truly believe Kate did everything she could for me throughout this process and I can rest easy knowing I had the best representation available. I would highly recommend Kate Coverdale!!
