Kristie

I worked with Phoenix on several different items including QDROs for my divorce, and mine and my mother's wills. Phoenix is professional, timely, and a great communicator. She has a ton of patience to see things through to the end, is able navigate complex and nuanced issues, and an effective and gra...cious communicator. I think her rates are reasonable and I appreciated being able to pay as I go. I am super happy with the services I received from Phoenix, and of course I don't want to have to work with her again- but if I do, I would absolutely hire her right away! Phoenix is empathetic and trustworthy. She was a real advocate for me in my situations and I value her experience and expertise.

Fast, reliable and patient

I have know, consulted and hired Attorney Coverley for nearly 5 years now, and each time she proves knowledgeable, fast, reliable and easy to work with. She is always prepared and professional, as well as patient with what sometimes are slim deadlines from me.

Knowledgeable and available

Phoenix helped us finalize my husbands prior divorce, which we were unaware was never finalized 12 years ago. It was complicated and Phoenix was very knowledgeable and helpful in getting things resolved. She was always available to us and responded fast whenever we needed. She also represented me in ...writing our current premarital agreement on very short notice and with a short time frame to do so. I felt confident in the way she presented and supported my best interest.

Great No Spin Attorney

Phoenix has helped me gain custody of my child and assisted in keeping it that way. She is honest and always quick to respond. She even helped me get the proper arrangments prior to my deployment to Afghanistan. As a father this can be difficult even for the most experienced family law attorney. She... proved to be extremely proficient and I would definitely seek her out in the future.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
