Excellence

Kate worked on a family law case for me. She responded promptly to all my questions and met every possible deadline. Kate is RELIABLE!! I was able to reach her at any time during the day. She made the stress involved with my legal case as minimal as possible.

Excellent Lawyer!

Trustworthy, responsive and knowledgeable are just a few adjectives I can use in describing Katherine V. Coverdale. I can also confidently add pragmatic, strategic and dedicated to the list when recommending her services. My divorce has been very complicated and lengthy. Thanks to Katherine's advice,... guidance and Certified Financial Divorce Analyst specialization, I anticipate a favorable outcome.

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.

Zlock & Coverdale

I highly recommend the team at Zlock & Coverdale. They represented me during a very difficult divorce and child support case. They truly worked as a team. Kevin Zlock began the process of divorce proceedings and was available to answer any questions I had. For child support Russell Manning represen...ted me with stellar results. Katherine Coverdale represented me during the financials/property settlement portion of the divorce. She came prepared for every possible situation and she is a financial genius! I felt like I had a team behind me and during a stressful time in my life, they made things easy to understand. I will recommend them to everyone

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.
