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.

Manuel Juarez, Landlord or tenant 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.
