Former Law Enforcement Insight. Strategic Defense.
Our founding partner, Travis Vernier, served for over a decade as a police officer and detective in a major metro-area department, working special victims and felony investigations.
That experience provides critical insight into:
How officers build probable cause
How investigations are structured
How evidence is gathered and documented
Where procedural mistakes occur
How prosecutors evaluate cases
We understand how cases are built — and how they can be challenged.
When the government accuses you, preparation and precision matter.
Why Choose Bennett Vernier for Criminal Defense?
Local Court Experience
We regularly represent clients in Oklahoma County and surrounding jurisdictions. We understand local procedures, prosecutors, and courtroom expectations.
Trial-Tested Representation
If a plea offer does not serve your best interests, we are prepared to take your case to trial. Leverage in criminal defense comes from readiness — not fear.
Direct, Honest Guidance
We provide clear communication, realistic case assessments, and disciplined strategy tailored to your situation.
We represent clients in all types of criminal matters, including:
DUI / DWI: Charged with drunk driving or drug-related DUI? We fight license suspensions, challenge traffic stops, and protect your record.
Drug Charges: Whether it’s simple possession or trafficking, we defend clients facing charges involving marijuana, meth, prescription drugs, fentanyl, and more.
Assault & Battery: These charges often arise from emotionally charged situations. We present the full context—self-defense, provocation, or mutual combat—to secure dismissals or reduced charges.
Domestic Violence: False allegations or misunderstandings can destroy lives. We work to uncover the truth, protect your rights, and preserve your reputation.
Theft & Property Crimes: From shoplifting to embezzlement, we understand the impact criminal charges have on employment, education, and immigration status. We push for resolutions that protect your future.
Weapons Offenses: We represent clients facing illegal possession, felon-in-possession, and firearm enhancement charges under both state and federal law.
White Collar Crimes: If you are under investigation or facing charges for fraud, forgery, computer crimes, or financial misconduct, we provide discreet, strategic representation.
Expungements & Post-Conviction Relief: Your past doesn’t have to define you. Let us help you clear your record and move forward.
Arrested or Under Investigation? Do Not Wait.
If you are under investigation or have been arrested:
Do not speak to law enforcement without counsel.
Do not consent to searches without legal advice.
Do not assume the situation will “work itself out.”
Early legal intervention can change the trajectory of your case.
Bennett Vernier represents clients in state and municipal courts throughout: Oklahoma City, Edmond, Deer Creek, Piedmont, Norman, Moore, Midwest City, Yukon, Bethany, Warr Acres, and surrounding communities.
