Description | Lesly Longa Vaillancourt focuses her practice on estate planning and mediation. She is an experienced and trusted advisor helping clients in the areas of Wills, Trusts, Advanced Directives, Probate and Estate Administrations. She works closely with clients to create the right plan for them – no matter how big or small – so that they are prepared for what the future brings. She was appointed Vice Chair of the American Bar Association’s Estate and Financial Planning Committee (GPSolo, 2020 – 2021) and is a past Chair of the Florida Bar’s Consumer Protection Law Committee (2015 – 2016). She provides a big firm experience at small firm prices. Lesly grew up in Tampa, Florida, and was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. After graduating from The American University School of International Service, where she interned with the U.S. Department of State, Lesly began providing legal services in 1999 as an Intellectual Property Paralegal. During law school, she clerked with a boutique real estate firm in Boston and a firm of Barristers in London. While at the highly ranked Boston University School of Law, Lesly received a scholarship upon admission, was awarded the top grade in legal research and writing, drafted legislation for a state representative, and earned a position on the scholarly journal of her choice where she served as an editor. After graduating from law school and passing the Maryland Bar exam, Lesly gained valuable experience as a trial attorney with two civil litigation firms in Washington, D.C., arguing cases against multinational corporations. She sat for and passed the Florida Bar Exam on her first try prior to relocating to Tampa and opening the Longa Law Firm in 2008. Lesly was appointed to the Florida Bar’s Standing Committee on Diversity and Inclusion, serves on the editorial board of the American Bar Association’s GPSolo magazine, and is a past Chair of the Florida Bar Consumer Protection Law Committee. During her time as chair of the Florida Bar Consumer Protection Law Committee, Attorney Lesly Vaillancourt was involved in developing outreach programs to educate Floridians on their legal rights, updating consumer pamphlets available on the Florida Bar’s website, and educating attorneys on consumer issues. She frequently delivers presentations on estate planning, elder law and consumer protection. Attorney Vaillancourt volunteers with Bay Area Legal Services, and she has earned recognition for her pro bono service from the Supreme Court of Florida.
