Theodore David Vicknair Sr.

Theodore David Vicknair Sr. has built a distinguished career as both a CPA and litigation counsel. Since 1994, he has served as a CPA and has been a practicing Louisiana attorney since 2000. He holds the prestigious designation of Board Certified Estate Planning and Administration Specialist and Board Certified Tax Law Specialist from the Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization, both since 2008.

His practice primarily addresses the unique legal needs of farmers, middle-income individuals, and small business owners. His expertise includes estate tax reduction, Medicaid long-term care planning, special needs planning, asset protection, and small business protection planning.

Theodore regularly drafts and recommends various legal instruments such as tax reduction trusts, revocable and irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts, probate avoidance plans, last wills and testaments, asset protection trusts, litigation avoidance plans, charitable trusts, income and estate tax savings plans, and legal entities like limited liability companies (LLCs) and S corporations.

In addition to his specialization, he maintains a robust probate legal practice. He assists families who have not engaged in pre-planning to qualify for Medicaid long-term care benefits, often achieving significant savings on nursing home costs. Despite common advice to spend down assets to $2,000, Theodore's strategies regularly result in over 50% savings.

Originally from New Orleans, he operates primary offices in Alexandria and a satellite office in Mandeville, where he also maintains a secondary residence. To learn more or schedule a consultation, visit his website or call his offices directly.
