Happy Holidays from all of us at Bodner Shapiro Law Group!

This season, we took a short break from legal writing, court hearings, briefs and statutes to embrace creativity at our holiday party. Our team enjoyed making art together—a reminder that collaboration and imagination are at the heart of everything we do. And we got to support another local business!

Wishing you peace, joy, and a bright New Year from all of us. Thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey in 2025!

Many people think attorneys only work in courtrooms and offices, but so much of what we do happens outside of them. Just a few days ago, Attorney Shapiro visited one of our clients as she settled into her new home.

Transitions like these can be challenging, and all of us here at Bodner Shapiro Law Group work hard to ensure that our clients’ wishes are respected and their legal needs are taken care of meticulously. Supporting people through every stage of life is at the heart of what we do.

Honoring Every Family’s Journey

Bodner Shapiro Law Group is privileged to serve clients whose stories reflect the rich diversity of today’s families.

Recently, Attorney Shapiro was appointed to represent a 4-month-old child in a matter involving two devoted fathers—one biological, one adopting—who welcomed their son through surrogacy. This process included terminating the surrogate’s parental rights and finalizing adoption, ensuring the child’s legal security and stability.

We believe every child deserves a loving, protected home, and we are proud to support LGBTQ+ families in building theirs.

🎉 Say Hello to Lauren! 🎉

We’re excited to welcome Lauren as our new Office Assistant! If you’ve called our office recently, chances are you’ve already spoken with her — she’s the friendly voice greeting you on the phone and the first smiling face you’ll see when you walk through our door.

Lauren brings a strong background in office management, executive support, and HR, and holds a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from the University at Albany (SUNY). She’s currently diving deeper into the legal field through a legal certification program at Penn State World Campus, combining her studies with hands-on experience in our office.

When she’s not keeping us organized, Lauren enjoys astrology, philosophy, yoga, Pilates, and spending time with her family and two adorable pets.

We’re so lucky to have her on board — help us give her a warm welcome! 💫
