Katherine Vera Coverdale

Kate Coverdale is an incredibly well respected attorney with the firm of Zlock & Coverdale. Kate was the primary attorney steering my complicated divorce. Specifically, she was the main person who analyzed and managed the financial analysis of the marital estate - which was the source of the most c...omplexity and controversy. Kate did a phenomenal job in organizing, communicating, planning and strategizing throughout the entire process. All along, she addressed all of my emotional concerns and fears, providing a very solid basis of trust and a calm approach to all interactions. Her professionalism and controlled demeanor was unfailing, and allowed for our team to consistently maintain the higher ground, and garner the respect of the court. Her preparation of all documents and her understanding and ability to persuasively present our side made me feel happy to be in such competent hands. She was able to expertly interact with the many other people involved with the case - such as business accountants, business lawyers, and business evaluators. At every turn, I felt that she was able to foster a sense of a unified front, and that we had a strong position supported by multiple people. After several years of working with Kate, I would have to say I am very pleased with how well represented I was throughout my divorce and equitable distribution process. No one can control the often belligerent, unfair, and irrational things that the opposing side chooses to do. Yet, in the context of many unbelievable and disappointing attacks from the other side, Kate maintained the course and persistently pointed and steered me in a direction that proved to be a successful one. She never compromised her professional standards of conduct, and at the same time never appeared weak or passive. If not for her and the firm, I personally would have not been able to maintain a level head and make clear decisions on my own. Kate allowed me to vent, and then she was able to be a buffer that removed the emotionalism and reactivity. In short, I am extremely pleased with the final outcome of the divorce - being able to step back from it and see it more objectively.

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.

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!!!!!

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 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!!
