Excellent Family Law Attorney and Firm

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. Thro...ughout 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.

Custody Hearing

I recently had a custody hearing in June, 2015 and Kevin Zlock represented me for my custody hearing. Kevin was one step ahead of everything. Very knowledgeable of everything that was going on. He called everything that was going to happen as the case was going on. He's a very detailed lawyer who... knows the judges and what they look for. As a father, I wasn't sure what my chances were to win primary custody. But I won easily. If this was a boxing match I would have won by a 1st round KO.

A "Lion" When You Need Him, But a "Lamb" at Lunch!!

When I was served divorce papers from my "ex", I hired Katherine Coverdale of Zlock and Coverdale to handle what was expected to be a very contentious divorce as my "ex" hired what she thought to be the pre-eminent "woman's" divorce attorney in the area. Sure enough, after the action started it bec...ame very contentious beyond my expectations. When our first hearing was scheduled, Katherine brought in Kevin (the Lion) to handle the hearing on our behalf. Meeting Kevin for a six hour prep meeting was my first encounter with Kevin and I walked out of that meeting knowing and feeling that everything was under control and we would be fine after the hearing the next day. Since I was never in a court setting before, Kevin counseled me on how to answer and act. His very "Sage" advice was right on the "money"!!! Kevin was masterful at both the Prep meeting and the Hearing the next day. While my "ex's" pre-eminent attorny brought a small pile of files with her, Kevin had papers spread all over his table in court, appropriately "tabbed" and in the order that he was going to present his case. He then methodically proceeded to totally dis-mantle both my "ex" and her attorney in a hearing that lasted six and a half hours. My "ex's" attorney could never even get her "footing" in the court room. I also encountered Kevin when my residence was "entered" by representatives of my "ex" on a weekend. I wrote an e-mail to both Katherine and Kevin about mid-night on a Sunday figuring I would get an answer the next morning. Instead, Kevin answered me back within an hour after 1:00 AM and made me feel comfortsble that everything would be OK in the morning when he got to the office to prepare specific motions to protect my residence and myself from further intrusion. I did ask Kevin if he ever slept, and his answer was "You were stressed and I needed to make you feel comfortable that we had everything under control"!!! Wow, wow, wow!!! As stated in other reviews, I am very fortunate to have both Katherine Coverdale and Kevin Zlock on my Team!!! But, I always swore that I would never ever play "Poker" with Kevin as he is straight-faced and I would not be able to "read" him. During a break at the hearing, I had the priviledge to have lunch with Kevin and another associate of the firm. At lunch, Kevin was all business with the associate in addressing some questions that came up from the morning's proceedings, but turned into the "Lamb" in conversations that were outside the realm of the divorce and the hearing itself. Kevin does have a very "soft, compassionate side" that he will bring out when the time is appropriate for sure. As my divorce is now winding down to a very amiable settlement between both parties, i know that I made the right choice with both Katherine and Kevin as my "team". In the beginning, it was a bit chaotic to me but both of these magnificent professionals dffused that chaotic feeling I had right out of the "gate" so to speak. Thnak You!! Thank You!!! Thank You!!!!

Great Attorney!

Kevin is a very caring and dedicated lawyer who guided me through the tough divorce process. He is extremely knowledgeable and always gave me great advice. I cannot thank him enough for all that he did during my divorce. Kevin always took the time to help and would always answer the many questions th...at I had. Going through a divorce can be an extremely difficult time, but Kevin's guidance got me through. The entire staff was always available and very helpful. Whenever I called the office a friendly voice was always on the other end of the phone. If you are looking for a great attorney to represent you, please have the office of Zlock and Coverdale represent you. I truly want to thank them for all their assistance and advice during my divorce. I appreciate all that you did for me and helped me during a difficult time.
