In a world where legal battles can feel overwhelming, knowing you have someone who truly understands the weight of your case can make all the difference. That’s what sets Travis Vernier apart from others in the legal field. Before becoming an attorney, Travis spent over a decade serving in the public sector, gaining invaluable experience that shapes how he approaches every case. This unique perspective makes him not just a lawyer, but a tireless advocate for justice.
At Bennett | Vernier, the law firm Travis co-founded, clients find a team that doesn’t just handle legal paperwork, but one that stands beside them every step of the way, no matter how complex or daunting the situation may seem. Whether it’s criminal defense, civil lawsuits, or family law, Travis and his team bring real-world experience, strategic insight, and a relentless drive to protect their clients’ futures.
A Commitment to Service: From Public Safety to Legal Advocacy
The story of Bennett | Vernier is deeply tied to Travis’s years of service in law enforcement. Before pursuing a legal career, Travis was a volunteer firefighter in high school, later transitioning to full-time police officer duties with the Oklahoma City Police Department. His career path, however, was far from typical. Travis served in various roles, including Field Training Officer, Assistant Public Information Officer, and ultimately Detective Sergeant in the Crimes Against Children Unit. His career culminated in over ten years of distinguished service, including receiving a Medal of Honor for heroism and a Lifesaving Award.
During this time, Travis’s cases ranged from complex child homicide investigations to emergency response situations that demanded quick, high-pressure decision-making. These formative experiences gave Travis an understanding of not only the law but also the human element behind it—the emotional and psychological toll that legal cases can take on individuals.
After retiring from the police force, Travis realized that his experiences gave him a unique advantage in the legal world. His transition into law wasn’t just a career change—it was a natural extension of his desire to serve his community. He co-founded Bennett | Vernier, bringing with him his extensive understanding of law enforcement, public service, and high-pressure decision-making.

Whether defending officers in police-related legal cases or representing clients facing criminal charges, Travis’s deep understanding of how people act under stress proves invaluable.
As Travis puts it:
“I understand what it’s like to make split-second decisions that have life-altering consequences. That experience shapes how I approach every case, ensuring I’m not just focusing on the law, but on the people who are affected by it.”
At Bennett | Vernier, this approach translates to a fierce commitment to the firm’s clients. From criminal defense to business law and beyond, the firm ensures that every case is handled with a mix of empathy, precision, and tireless advocacy.
