Kathleen Lawler Bodmer
Secretary
Kathleen Lawler Bodmer, originally from Massachusetts, is an estate planning and business transaction attorney who has been practicing since 1994. Kathleen graduated from Tufts University with a bachelor’s degree in clinical psychology and earned her Juris Doctor from Boston University School of Law in 1994. She moved to California in 2000 and, after nearly four years at a local firm, opened her own law practice in December 2003.
In her estate planning practice, Kathleen helps individuals and families plan for both today and “tomorrow,” providing them with control over their lives and assets. Her work addresses issues such as gifting, business succession planning, and avoiding probate court. Kathleen’s role on the Board of Bay Federal Credit Union aligns closely with her professional expertise, which includes entity formation, contract negotiation, and business transactions.
Kathleen views serving on the Board as an opportunity to deepen her understanding of the financial industry in a hands-on way while giving back to the local community. She values the chance to contribute to a solid financial institution like Bay Federal Credit Union and enjoys the positive challenges that Board service continues to bring.
