The Firm

Vickery Law PLLC offers principled counsel to the people who build things worth protecting: founders, families, and business owners. You work directly with your attorney, and every engagement begins with a real conversation.


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 company you may one day sell. A well-designed plan puts the right people in control, keeps your assets out of probate, and makes sure nothing is left to chance.

Leave a legacy, not a burden

Your assets and your story pass according to your wishes, on your terms, not a court's timeline.

For founders

Protect what you've built

Founder equity, QSBS §1202 eligibility, and business interests woven into one plan built for a future sale.

Plan for emergencies

Powers of attorney and health care directives let someone you trust act the moment you can't.

Secure your children's future

Short- and long-term guardianship and financial security for minor and adult children alike.

For founders

Keep your equity working

Non-grantor and spousal-access trusts (SLANT) for estate- and income-tax planning, ideally well before a liquidity event.

Avoid probate

Trusts reduce delay, legal fees, and court involvement at the worst possible time.

Built around you, not a checklist

Every plan reflects your actual family, assets, and priorities, never a standard template.

Stay in control

Make the choices now, so others don't have to guess later.

The Process

Simpler than you think.

Estate planning isn't only for the wealthy, and it doesn't have to be daunting. The goal is to spare your family unnecessary cost, delay, and confusion, whatever your net worth.

Step One

A free Check-Up

We start with a free Estate Plan Check-Up: a short, no-pressure look at where you stand and what, if anything, you need.

Step Two

A design session

Every decision gets made together. We handle the drafting; you make the choices that matter.

Step Three

Reviewed and confirmed

Before anything is signed, we walk back through every strategic decision together (trustees, structures, and tax elections) and confirm each one reflects your intent.

Step Four

You show up to sign

We bring you a finished plan. Most clients tell us they expected it to be much harder.

One clear, flat-fee quote before any work begins. No hourly meter, no billing surprises.

Get in touch

Begin with a conversation

Whether you're planning for your family's future or protecting the work of a lifetime, we bring the same commitment to every matter: deliberate strategy, deep expertise, and counsel built around you.
