A Knowledgeable, Skilled and Personable Counsel

I found Kate to be a highly knowledgeable, skilled and personable counsel and am grateful for her representation in my divorce action. She was always available, quite responsive, willing to explain her thought processes, an good listener, and had a realistic grasp of what was possible and what was n...ot. She helped navigate my divorce to what I consider to be a favorable conclusion. As an attorney, I deal with a number of attorneys, many of whom could learn a great deal about approaching matters with the same mixture of skill and knowledge that Kate demonstrates in the matrimonial arena. I would recommend her without question.

I can't say enough good things about Ms. Coverdale

I was extremely pleased with the help that I received during my divorce from Kate. She was always quick to respond to my calls or emails. Everything she explained, was done in a manner in which I could fully understand and thereby make sound decisions. Divorce is an emotional time in someones life... and I was particularly impressed by her compassion and sensitivity to my situation. I couldn't be happier with the way she handled things for me.

Katherine Coverdale helped make my divorce simple and quick!

Katherine could not have been any better. She practically took me by my hand and walked me through the entire divorce process. The entire divorce went through without any major hiccups in less than two months, except for the final paper from the state which came 60 - 90 days later. After everything w...as finished, Katherine checked in with me to help me move forward financially and emotionally.

Great Attorney

I selected Zlock and Coverdale after searching the internet for Bucks County Lawyers. It turns out I chose the right lawyer. Katherine Coverdale was excellent in handling all matters of my divorce, from child custody to financial matters. She is extremely organized and knowledgeable which I truly app...reciated, as it made my life a little easier. Katherine’s knowledge and experience put my mind at ease during a very stressful time. She was always very easy to reach and responsive to any and all questions I had.

Katherine listened carefully to my case and immediately demonstrated a high level knowledge of the law.

Katherine is a good listener, a great negotiator and most importantly she truly cares about her clients.
