About Me

Divorce Lawyer located in Shelton CT 1

Kelly A. Bodie, Esq. began practicing family law in 2004 as an associate of a small law firm in Fairfield, Connecticut. In 2008, she opened her own practice in Stratford, Connecticut working exclusively in family and juvenile law. More recently, the practice began to concentrate on non-adversarial divorce as well as Attorney Bodie representing numerous children in the capacity as guardian ad litem. Attorney Bodie’s practice is child focused and works with families on the emotional as well as legal aspects of their divorce.

Attorney Bodie graduated from Mount Holyoke College in 1997 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. She went on to receive her Juris Doctorate from Quinnipiac University School of Law in 2003. Attorney Bodie has over the past several years furthered her education by receiving her certification as a Guardian ad Litem / Attorney for the Minor Children, Divorce Mediation and Interdisciplinary Collaborative Divorce.

Attorney Bodie grew up in Northern Westchester, New York with her parents and two brothers. She now lives in Fairfield County with her husband and two precious children. When Attorney Bodie became a mother, it changed her, and the kind of attorney she was. She used to think you could be a good divorce/custody attorney without any children. She disagrees with that now. Something changes when you become a parent. Our children are the most precious gifts and Attorney Bodie works with our clients to assure that their children come out of this divorce process as unharmed as humanly possible.

testimonials

It's hard enough to be in a situation where you are forced to retain a lawyer. But it's even harder to determine who you will choose to help you fight for what's important to you. I went through two other attorneys before Attorney Bodie became my lawyer. I have found that she has an impeccable work ethic and a heart of gold. She cares so deeply about every cause and has fought so hard to get me the best outcome possible. I am very thankful to have Attorney Bodie in my corner and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Kelly works hard to learn the case details. Once she knows the facts she takes initiative to come to a resolution working with all parties and using the law as her advocate. She is very easy to work with and gives direct answers without beating around the bush.

- Father, GAL case

In 2008 when I was divorced, I needed an attorney to do a QDRO for my case and I found Attorney Kelly Bodie. From the first time I met with her I knew she was the attorney to hire for my case. I left the office feeling that Attorney Bodie would offer impeccable representation as I went through this painful process. Throughout the course of my post-divorce case, I always felt she was the best. My questions (telephone calls or emails) were answered promptly and thoroughly. When issues would arise, she provided thoughtful yet strategic advice to assist me in my case. She took the time to listen to my concerns and what I needed. Five years later she is still my attorney, and always willing to help with my concerns. When you’re faced with such a life changing event, such as a divorce, you need to protect your assets and your personal rights, and Attorney Bodie will help you resolve your case not just win, and that helps brings you a certain inner peace. You gave me another reason not to give up. You gave me more than I asked for and more than I expected to receive. Thank you again for your superior service you are truly the best at what you do.
