About Brian

 

Thank you for visiting our firm.  I hope the information here is helpful.  If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call me. We will be happy to help you any way we can.

 

About me:

 

As a Soldier, Leader and Lawyer, I have been honored to support and defend the rights of those who have been wronged. It was this belief of doing right that ultimately led to Crockett Law, P.C. My primary focus has been upon representing Texans who have been harmed in their community.  We are not afraid to take on big corporations, insurance companies and their team of lawyers.  In the military, we protect those who cannot protect themselves. At our firm, we bring that same mindset in to the practice of law.  We will never give up.  We will never accept defeat.  We will never quit. 

 

My successes in court, settlements and mediations, on behalf of my clients, is tightly connected with my diverse background as a psychological operation specialist, a commissioned officer and leader of Soldiers in the United States Army. Over the past decade, I have had the distinguished opportunity of serving this Nation during peacetime and combat operations overseas.

 

My military service began on April 23, 2001, as an enlisted Soldier in the United States Army Reserves. I completed basic training at Ft. Jackson, South Carolina, and psychological operations specialist training at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center in Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. Following training, I was assigned to the 307th Psyop. in St. Louis, Missouri. As a member of the 307 Psyop, I completed the Army Basic Airborne School at Ft. Benning, Georgia. In 2004, I commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Army Transportation Corp. Following my completion of the Transportation Officer Basic Course in Ft. Eustis, Virginia, I was assigned to the 28th Transportation Battalion in Mannheim, Germany as a Platoon Leader in the 68th Transportation Company. In 2005, I deployed to Al Asad, Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. While in Iraq, I served as a Platoon Leader, a Forward Logistics Element “Officer-In-Charge,” and a Supply and Service “Officer-In-Charge.” After returning from Iraq, I was reassigned to the 3-68th Transportation Company in Vicenza, Italy, where I served as the Detachment Commander. In July 2007, I transferred to the United States Army Reserves and assumed command of the 657th Transportation Company in Belleville, Illinois. In 2011, I completed the Logistics Captain’s Career Course at Ft. Lee, Virginia. Upon completion, I was assigned to the 1st Brigade, Southern Training Division, 75th Training Command, as the Brigade Logistics Officer. In 2012, I was promoted to the rank of Major.

 

My military awards and decorations includes the Bronze Star Medal, Army Commendation Medal (one-oak-leaf-cluster), the Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Iraqi Campaign Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, and the Army Overseas Service Ribbon. 

 

I am a graduate of Southern Illinois School of Law and admitted to the State Bars of Texas and Illinois. I am also admitted to practice in the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of Texas.

    Review Brian Crockett

    Great honest Attorney-SMART

    Posted by

    I would highly recommend Brain to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront. He represented my best friend, he was more of a councilor & A friend then just a lawyer. She was under a lot of stress until she hired him. Should the situation arise, I would not hesitate to seek representation from Brain Crockett

    I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and I was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. [My attorney] fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney! So glad I made the right choice & I will definitely hire him again in the the future if I need him. Thank you Brain for all your help & support.

    After our car accident in November 2015, my husband & I started to experience more and more pain. This from an accident we "walked away" from. Early in 2016 I started looking online for accident lawyers and found Crockett Law out of Houston, we live out side of Abilene.Then in a few days we go contacted by a law firm out of Ft. Worth. We began to pray about it and felt that the Lord was drawing us to Brian and his firm!! My first contact was with Anilesse and we probably had the most contact with her. Anilesse is one of the most kind gentle ladies, will go out of her way to do anything in her power to help you. William was the first lawyer I talked to in depth. He was very kind and caring, would talk to me any time he was not in court. Then Tara flew up to Abilene to do videos of friend, family and coworkers that had see a change in us over the time from before the accident and after. Then Brian and Tara flew here for our depositions and Brian met us for our mediation. It never seemed to make a difference that we and the Crockett Law were so far away from each other. They were only a phone call or flight away! The mediator, well renowned in his own right, told us that we had an AMAZING lawyer. That he had never in all his years of practice & mediation seen a presentation as good as the one that Brian put together!!! We cannot begin to thank you enough to you ALL!!!!! You have become like second family in so so many ways. You have gone above and beyond the call! May the Lord richly bless you all!!!

    A Lawyer You Can Count On!

    Posted by

    Brian represented me in a very difficult and long drawn out case. He researched every detail, kept me informed, stayed the course, educated me about the challenges of the case, and the reasons behind his plan of action. Most importantly he and his staff LISTENED to me, he was never to busy to talk to me. If he didn't talk to me the moment I called, he would get back with me either via email, text or a call from his team. I never felt as if I was forgotten about. He is positive, straightforward, kind, cool under fire, knowledgeable and transparent. He had my back, he did everything he could for me, he looked out for me and was able to negotiate the best settlement agreement possible. I never heard him loose his patience or composure. He never gave up and advised me at every turn. I'm grateful for Brian and his team. As a result of his efforts, I received a true and fair settlement. I will be able to afford the medical care I need. I'm sure you are wondering if my review is factual, I can assure you it is. I'm a woman in my mid 50's, I work in a highly stressful environment that is incredibly demanding. One of my responsibilities is to drill into an issue and find a solution, immediately. I work for a large corporation with a take no prisoners mentality. I have no problem being direct. If you want a lawyer that will fight for you, hire Brian. You won't regret it.

    When all others gave up on me the team (Crockett Law Firm) fought for me. I live over six- hundred miles away from Houston but I felt as if I was a mile away. Every phone call ; question was answered I even got a advance check until my case was settled. I highly recommend anyone to put the trust of this wonderful team in their hands. Thanks!

    Manuel Juarez, Personal injury Attorney on Feb 14, 2013
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    Attorney Brian Heath Crockett is a future shining star in the litigation field. He was preparing for law school while he was still in military headquarters in Vicenza, Italy. I have had the honor to work with him in a couple of cases and I was impressed by his lucid and articulate reasoning of the issues we were facing. Although he is a young attorney, he has begun the journey to which many are called but few succeed. He will soon become a super lawyer and if he executes his career plan with his usual military precision, he will soon become a star in the insurance bad faith field. I recommend Attorney Crockett very highly to any client or attorney that wishes to litigate wrongful death cases or insurance bad faith cases in Texas. He is humble, hard working, intelligent and generally likable person. I am privileged to endorse Attorney Brian Heath Crockett.
