Why We Founded The Vaillancourt Law Firm
The Vaillancourt Law Firm was founded with a clear purpose: to support families—especially those raising young children or caring for loved ones with special needs. Our mission is grounded in personal experience and a deep commitment to making legal guidance accessible, compassionate, and empowering.
Hillary Vaillancourt, Attorney and Owner, is the proud sister of a brother with special needs. Her lifelong role as his advocate led to the drafting of the Deaf Child’s Bill of Rights, which was later adopted as a regulation in Pennsylvania. That experience shaped Hillary’s belief that every family deserves to be heard, supported, and fully informed throughout the estate planning process.
Hillary’s passion for advocacy also stems from her own childhood. After losing her father unexpectedly, she watched her mother juggle full-time work and education to provide for four children. When the family needed legal help for her brother, they didn’t know where to turn. That memory continues to fuel Hillary’s desire to be a trusted, approachable guide for families navigating difficult decisions.
Mike Vaillancourt, our Client Services Director—and Hillary’s husband—brings his own perspective shaped by personal loss. Having lost his father over twenty years ago and, more recently, his best friend, Mike understands how crucial it is to have your wishes clearly documented. He works closely with clients to make the estate planning process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
At Vaillancourt Law, we don’t just create legal documents—we create peace of mind, built on compassion, lived experience, and a genuine desire to help others feel secure in their future.
OUR VISION
Any lawyer can draft a will, but we take pride in getting to know our clients. Our goal is to help create the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family’s needs are taken care of. We will develop a customized estate-planning strategy for your unique situation that will serve you well both in the short and the long term.

Family is the most important thing to us, so we totally understand how important your family is to you. Everything we do is to help increase your family’s well-being and peace of mind.
We serve families in Nebraska, North Carolina, and Virginia.
