Katherine Coverdale and partner Kevin Zlock are incomparable attorneys in matters of divorce.....

Kevin Zlock and Katherine Coverdale are, without question, the finest and most effective attorneys in Bucks County, PA. I was fortunate to be present in court during motions for sanctions and experienced first hand the master strategist, Kevin Zlock, step by sure step unequivocally win my case, whic...h provided me with a huge sum of money that both Kevin and Kate believed I truly deserved. Had it not been for Kevin's courtroom prowess, and partner Kate Coverdale's talent and diligence with the financial aspect, being not only a family law attorney, but a certified Divorce Financial Analyst, I know I would have been lost in the usual quagmire of disappointment encountered by so many of my friends who have hired other lawyers to defend them in their divorces. I am beyond ecstatic with what this dynamic team of lawyers, paralegal, Karen Watson, legal assistant, Mary Kumbat, accountant, Yvonne Rosales, and absolutely, not to be forgotten, the super efficient and productive, and stellar office manager, Sima Zlock, who pulls the seams together at this five star super excellent law firm. KUDOS to Zlock & Coverdale!! They are true and tried WINNERS!!! Kathleen P.

Speedy Professional Service

I retained Katherine to handle a family issue when the other attorney I had was not doing the job besides he was taking too long to resolve it. I can't say enough about how Katherine jumped right on my case. The resolution process was speedy, efficient and very professional. I now had an attorney... on my side. Can't say enough about her. I was in very capable hands. Wouldn't go to anyone else after that.

Hard working, knowledgeable & caring!

My case was very unusual as I live hundreds of miles away in another state with different laws. I hired Kate and her team and I could not have found more professional, knowledgeable and all around hard working team. She fought diligently for me to get all the back child support that was clearly due ...to me by someone who lives in her state. She studied the laws in my state just to help me with my case. Without a doubt I would not have gotten the amount I did without Kate's help. Thank you so much! You and your team have no idea how much you really helped me and my boys.

Custody Matter - Excellent Legal Advice

Recently we needed legal help with an emergency Custody matter. We were lucky enough to come across this Law Firm. We dealt with Katherine Coverdale. She was very professional, yet sensitive to our needs. She was able to accomplish in a very short period of time what we were looking for, just by... seeing the Master. We didn't even need to go to a Judge. Excellent Legal advice, I highly recommend her!

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Kate Coverdale and her staff. I clearly had the strongest professional representation on my side. Kate is one of the most deeply committed and ethical attorneys in the Bucks county community. I have had the great fortune to have hired her through a... challenging divorce process. Her keen sense of detail and timing in this complex ordeal has been second to none. Kate Coverdale is one of the most dedicated, compassionate professional I have ever met. Her commitment to her client and attention to every nuance has been remarkable. She has the ability to discuss and explain in layman terms every issue at hand. The divorce process is arduous yet Kate has been there every step of the way with great support and compassion. She has the ability to make her clients feel as though you are the only client! Kate does not work on a normal business hourly schedule-she is always readily available no matter the day or time. In searching for the “right” attorney I discovered Kate’s educational background is impressive. Her professional credentials as an experienced attorney and a certified financial analyst are exemplary. Not only has she provided superior guidance in my divorce, she has also been an invaluable source of financial advise for my future direction. It is therefore without hesitation that wholeheartedly I recommend Kate Coverdale and her firm, Zlock & Coverdale. You can not lose! JMS
