The Origins of Bennett | Vernier
Travis Vernier’s path to becoming a founding partner at Bennett | Vernier wasn’t the typical route one might expect. A magna cum laude graduate from Oklahoma City University School of Law, Vernier’s academic achievements earned him accolades and respect in the legal community. But his journey began long before he picked up a law book.
Before law school, Travis dedicated more than a decade to public service. His first calling came when he volunteered as a firefighter during high school and then became a full-time police officer with the Oklahoma City Police Department. Over the course of his career, he held a variety of pivotal roles, including serving as a Field Training Officer, Assistant Public Information Officer, and Detective in the Crimes Against Children Unit. He also worked on the department’s Emergency Response Team. Through these experiences, he developed a unique understanding of the law from the perspective of those who serve on the front lines—first responders and public servants who operate under intense pressure.
What sets Travis apart is his real-world experience in these critical fields. As a Certified Force Science® Analyst, his deep understanding of human performance under pressure and decision-making in high-stakes environments gives him invaluable insight into how law enforcement officers and other professionals make life-or-death decisions. This background gives Bennett | Vernier a distinct edge in defending those who serve and protect our communities.
Overcoming Obstacles and Making Key Decisions
As with any story of success, there have been obstacles along the way. Like many entrepreneurs, Travis faced tough decisions in building his law practice, navigating both the challenges of the legal field and the responsibility of launching a new firm. One of the most pivotal moments was when he decided to transition from his role in law enforcement to pursuing law full-time. This move wasn’t made lightly, but it was driven by a deep desire to continue serving his community in a more profound way.
The decision to leave his career as a detective was not without sacrifices, but Travis knew that his skill set could help in ways that went beyond the badge. His move to law was driven by the same commitment to justice that defined his work as an officer. This decision would lay the groundwork for Bennett | Vernier’s mission—protecting people’s futures and providing them with the highest standard of legal advocacy.
