Vickery Law PLLC

What we protect.
And how we do it.

Our practice is built around the things that matter most, your family, your assets, your legacy, and the democratic institutions that make all of it possible. Here is how we work.

Primary Practice

Estate Planning & Asset Protection

You have spent years building something worth protecting. A well-designed estate plan puts the right people in control, keeps your assets out of probate, and makes sure nothing is left to chance. We take the time to understand your story, your values, and your goals, then build a plan that truly reflects them.

  • Leave a legacy, not a burden. Your assets and life stories pass on according to your wishes, on your terms.
  • Built around you, not a checklist. Every plan reflects your actual family structure, your assets, and your priorities, not a standard template.
  • Avoid probate. Trusts reduce delays, legal fees, and court involvement for your family at the worst possible time.
  • Ease the burden on your family. Clear wishes prevent confusion, conflict, and difficult decisions for the people you love.
  • Secure your children's future. We establish short-term and long-term guardianship and ensure financial security for minor and adult children alike.
  • Plan for incapacity. Powers of attorney and healthcare directives ensure someone you trust can act on your behalf.
  • Efficient asset transfer. Planning ahead saves time, money, and conflict when your estate is distributed.
  • Stay in control. Make the choices now so others do not have to guess later.
Do I need a trust, or is a will enough?
If you own a home, have minor children, or want to avoid probate, a trust likely offers significant benefits. We will help you understand exactly what makes sense for your situation, without pushing you toward more than you need.
Is estate planning only for the wealthy?
No. The goal is to avoid unnecessary costs, delays, and confusion for your family, no matter your net worth. Most people who need a plan do not have one yet.
What does the process look like?
We start with a free Estate Plan Check-Up, then a design session where every decision gets made together. We handle the drafting. You show up to sign. Most clients tell us they expected it to be much harder.
Do you charge by the hour?
No. We provide a clear, flat-fee quote before any work begins. No billing surprises.

Intellectual Property & Digital Assets

Your intellectual property and digital assets are among your most valuable possessions, and among the most overlooked in legal planning. From trademarks and copyrights to cryptocurrency and domain names, Vickery Law provides tailored strategies to protect these assets and integrate them into a comprehensive plan for your business and your estate.

  • Trademark Registration and Enforcement. Protect your brand through registration, monitoring, and enforcement against unauthorized use.
  • Copyright Registration and Licensing. Secure your creative work and structure ownership, licensing, and infringement response strategies.
  • IP Agreements and Licensing. Draft and negotiate licensing, assignment, and joint development agreements that protect and monetize your rights.
  • Digital Asset Estate Planning. Ensure your online accounts, cryptocurrency, and digital assets are managed and distributed according to your wishes.
  • IP in Business Formation. Due diligence, founder agreements, NDAs, and employment contracts that protect your assets from day one.
Why do I need to protect my intellectual property?
IP protection prevents unauthorized use of your brand and creative work, preserves your competitive advantage, and adds measurable value to your business over time.
What is digital asset planning?
It ensures your online accounts, cryptocurrencies, and digital property are managed and distributed according to your wishes, preventing family disputes and loss of value.
What digital assets should be in my estate plan?
Cryptocurrency wallets, domain names, social media accounts, email addresses, online business accounts, digital photos, and any IP you hold.

Select Engagements

Election Law & Democratic Governance

Elections are the foundation of a functioning democracy, and the legal rules that govern them are among the most consequential in our system. Vickery Law brings more than twenty years of experience in election law, democratic governance, and the rule of law to every engagement, with a particular focus on electoral trust and resilience, ballot access, and voting rights.

  • Electoral Trust and Resilience Assessments. We identify vulnerabilities before they become crises, mapping risks and building mitigation plans at every stage of the election cycle to ensure processes are legally sound and defensible.
  • Ballot Access and Challenges. Representation in ballot access disputes, candidate qualification challenges, and election recount and contest proceedings.
  • Voting Rights and Election Integrity. Counsel on matters affecting voter access, election integrity, and equal participation in the democratic process.
Who should consider an Electoral Trust and Resilience Assessment?
Election administrators at the state, county, and local level who want to ensure their processes are legally sound, defensible, and prepared for challenge. Assessments are particularly valuable ahead of high-turnout or high-profile elections when the risk of litigation or public scrutiny is elevated.
What does a ballot access challenge involve?
We represent clients in disputes over candidate qualification, petition challenges, and recount and contest proceedings at the state and local level. These matters move quickly and benefit from early legal involvement.
What types of organizations do you serve?
Advocacy organizations, election administrators, nonpartisan institutions, and individuals with questions about their voting rights or election-related legal matters.

Vickery Law undertakes election law and democratic governance work primarily through referral, speaking engagements, and existing relationships. If you have been referred for these services, we welcome the conversation.
