Kevin M. Zlock

Kevin Zlock and Kate Coverdale of Zlock & Coverdale has been my family law attorney’s since February of 2012. In that time, they have guided and supported me through very complex and emotional legal matters, ranging from divorce, then equitable distribution, and finally child custody hearings. Throughout the entire litany of ordeals, I have been served with nothing short of outstanding representation. Kevin Zlock, Kate Coverdale and their associates have provided me with everything one would desire in attorneys, especially in matters that are most often highly charged emotionally. They provided excellent information, explanation and clarification concerning the way in things operated, and how we were going to proceed strategically. Through a very down to earth manner, both Kevin and Kate were always able to help me understand my situation, and consider all options available to me. I always left each and every meeting feeling fully informed, and confident in the road we were traveling down. Kevin and Kate were always able to respond effectively and timely to any and all questions that I had via email or telephone. The entire firm is very talented and capable of gathering and synthesizing vast amounts complex information. My cases required the reliance of and integration of many other professionals – from business lawyers, accountants, psychologists, business evaluators and other family and friends. They guided the entire process and ensured that our plan had every moving part going in the same direction – towards winning our case. I feel that all of my cases were expertly dealt with, and wound up being victorious each and every time! In the courtroom and during Master hearings, Kevin, Kate and their associates are well respected. They play fair, and have earned a professional reputation. They “fight” fair and treat all people on both sides with respect – but most certainly have no weakness in their undaunted pursuit of the win for their client. Some people might think a “pit-bull attorney” who unscrupulously attacks their opponents at every turn is best. But in the long run, polite, professional and moral representation is what proves most effective. One last anecdote that is most precious to relate is in the manner in which Kevin interacted with my teenage daughter. In preparation for a very intimidating and emotionally packed court date, Kevin calmly, patiently and delicately interacted with her. He was able to simultaneously convey the serious nature and importance of what was going to take place, but do so in a calm, relaxed and non-threatening way. Kevin’s people skills run the entire spectrum from judges to hostile opposing counsel, from adults to children, from the stoic analytic to the emotionally distressed. It may have been an emotional roller coaster at times, and very frustrating working within an uncertain system – but the legal experience, thorough preparation and moral and professional demeanor makes Zlock and Coverdale have my highest praise and recommendation to anyone going through a Family Law dispute of any kind.

Kevin presents information in such a manner that it is extremely easy to understand. His abilities to simultaneously assess various scenarios and options immensely helped me to discuss the path forward and next steps that best suited my situation. In addition, he was also accessible, extremely pro-active in working with me and also negotiating on my behalf with opposing counsel. At the end of the day, i clearly felt that he helped me achieve the best deal possible.
