Kevin's practice focuses on divorce, custody, support, and property division issues, with the goal to resolve matters outside of court, but he is ready to litigate, if necessary. His wealth of experience allows him to provide clients with an understanding of how to structure and negotiate divorce settlements and to help them to determine how they should handle their assets and investments during divorce proceedings. Kevin Zlock assesses the short-term and long-term effects of dividing property, as well as of paying or receiving child support, spousal support/APL, and alimony. He creates a road map with the client's full participation to achieve satisfying results at the end of the divorce.In order to tailor his approach to the individual client's situation, Kevin Zlock reviews his client's goals for life after divorce, which review includes determining earning potentials, projecting earnings on investments, collecting asset and expense data, and determining whether the client can assume the expenses of the marital residence, if desired, and if staying is not feasible or desired, calculating what the client can afford. In cases involving divorcing couples with children, he guides clients and assists them in determining what child-specific expenses they should anticipate when dividing the property, in terms of their children’s educational expenses (before and during college), childcare expenses, etc.By all accounts, Kevin Zlock is best known for his proven track record of successfully litigating custody cases. While it is always his intent to settle custody issues outside of court, in a way that is in the best interests of the children, he is without a doubt a talented and tenacious litigator who is meticulously prepared for Court. He knows what his client's objectives are in each custody situation, and he helps the client meet those objectives. He spends hours to prepare his clients and put them at ease before testifying in Court. He goes through evidence in great detail to ensure that the case is adequately prepared for presentation in Court, and he excels in Court as a result. Kevin Zlock also is very active in the Bucks County Community, and he is a dedicated philanthropist who supports the educational pursuits of underprivileged children and veterans of past and recent wars, as well as their families. Among his most prominent initiatives is the establishment of the Kevin Zlock Veterans Family Endowment at the Bucks County Community College, which is funded for the sole purpose of assisting veterans and their families in affording the rising costs of education. In appreciation of his numerous contributions to the Bucks County Community College, the college dedicated its Performing Arts Center to Kevin and his wife, naming it the Kevin and Sima Zlock Performing Arts Center. Kevin also received two special Congressional Recognitions for his philanthropic work on behalf of the Bucks County Community College.In addition to his donations through the Bucks County Community College, Kevin has established the Zlock Family Scholarship Fund at the Princeton Day School, so that children from Bucks County, who could not have otherwise afforded the costs of education at a private school, could attend, regardless of the cost. He also established the Faculty Fund at PDS to support creating and teaching interdisciplinary courses and promote student independent research in the Upper School. Kevin Zlock has been named a top Family and Divorce Attorney in Bucks County for 2011-2015 by many local and regional publications.

I was referred to Kevin by a friend who couldn't speak highly enough of him. After our first consultation, I too hired Kevin to represent me for a custody suit involving my son. Kevin was terrific! He strategized a great plan and was fantastic representing me at court. {para}He is a very good lawyer, with fair pricing and a top performer. I would definitely (and already have) recommend Kevin to anyone who needs custody-related legal advise. {para}Thank you again, Kevin!

Mr Zlock and his partner Katherine Coverdale, as well as his entire staff, was very helpful in a very difficult time. Going through a divorce is difficult, and Mr Zlock was very supportive. He was willing to fight for every detail which was important to me and was very successful in achieving a very good outcome for me. he was always prepared for court appearances and took the time to speak with me before each one to make sure all the facts were right and that the best outcome could be obtained.

Kevin Zlock, Karen and the entire staff at Zlock & Coverdale were very thorough and professional. They guided me through my divorce and custody case which were extremely emotional. Unfortunately I had hired another attorney prior to hiring Kevin (a lesson learned the hard way). Thankfully, Kevin and his team came to my rescue and made lemonade out of lemons! He thoroughly explained everything and truly looked out for my best interest. I would highly recommend him.

Most knowledgeable attorney I met. Presented with all the options for my case and explained all consequences. Having (not so great) experience with four different lawyers before I met him, I must say Mr. Zlock stands out as professional.

Hired Attorney Kevin Zlock

Mr. Zlock represented me in a very complicated divorce. He won me a full legal and physical custody of my daughter. I know that it was almost impossible task to accomplish. I was able to keep my house and substantial assets to have a decent life for myself and my child. He was very thorough in explaining to me how the system works, and while he gave me no guarantees, he helped me to keep my hopes high. It took a long time to get divorced, but the result was worth it.

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.

When first arrested for dui, I was distraught and didn’t know where to turn. I literally picked Kevin Zlock’s name from the Yellow Pages and knew I made the right choice after first meeting him. I felt a positive connection and comfort level and saw no reason to solicit any other attorney. Kevin was invaluable to me during this difficult time through his empathy and a sense of humor. Kevin cared about my personal well being and how my family was coping with my situation.
