Paul was born on January 26, 1965 in Waterbury, CT son of Mary (Manzo) Vallillo and the late Richard Vallillo. Paul was a graduate of Holy Cross High School, Class of 1983. He went on to earn his Bachelor of Science degree from Fairfield University in 1987, and later his Juris Doctor from Western New England School of Law in 1990.

In addition to practicing law, Paul shared his knowledge and passion for legal studies as an Associate Professor at Post University, where he inspired and mentored countless students on their academic and professional journeys.

Besides his mother Mary Vallillo of Wolcott, CT, Paul leaves to honor and cherish his memory his son Matthew P. Vallillo and his wife Aneri Shah of Austin, TX; a daughter Angela M. Jones and her husband Michael of Somerville, MA; brother Mark Vallillo of Prospect, CT; sister Deanne Vallillo of Baltimore, OH; several cousins, nieces, and nephews; and the mother of his children, Lori Vaill of Cheshire, CT.
