Meet Brian H. Crockett
Brian H. Crockett
Founding Attorney, Crockett Law, PC
Colonel, United States Army Reserve
Soldier. Leader. Lawyer.
Throughout my military service and legal career, I have been guided by a commitment to service, accountability, and standing up for others. That commitment led me to establish Crockett Law, PC.
I represent people who have suffered serious injuries and families whose lives have been changed by the loss of a loved one. My work focuses on holding responsible parties accountable and pursuing the compensation my clients deserve, including holding insurance companies accountable for their obligations.
Military service has shaped how I approach that responsibility. Careful preparation, clear communication, sound judgment, and dedication to the people who depend on me are central to both leading Soldiers and representing clients. I bring those principles to every case.
Representing Injured People and Their Families
My practice includes:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Wrongful death
- Amusement park injuries
When clients face a corporation, insurance company, or team of defense lawyers, I approach their case with preparation, persistence, and a commitment to protecting their interests.
Military Background and Ongoing Service
My military service began on April 23, 2001, when I enlisted in the United States Army Reserve. I completed basic training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, followed by psychological operations specialist training at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. I was then assigned to the 307th Psychological Operations Company in St. Louis, Missouri, and completed the Army Basic Airborne School at Fort Benning, Georgia.
In 2004, I was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Army Transportation Corps. After completing the Transportation Officer Basic Course at Fort Eustis, Virginia, I was assigned to the 68th Transportation Company, 28th Transportation Battalion, in Mannheim, Germany.
In 2005, I deployed to Al Asad, Iraq, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. During that deployment, I served as a Platoon Leader, Forward Logistics Element Officer in Charge, and Supply and Service Officer in Charge.
After returning from Iraq, I served as Detachment Commander with the 3-68th Transportation Company in Vicenza, Italy. In July 2007, I was promoted to Captain and transitioned to the United States Army Reserve, where I assumed command of the 657th Transportation Company in Belleville, Illinois.
In 2011, I completed the Captains Career Course at Fort Lee, Virginia, and subsequently served as Brigade Logistics Officer for the 1st Brigade, Southern Training Division, 75th Training Command. I was promoted to Major in 2012 and Lieutenant Colonel in June 2018.
My later assignments included simulations operations and mission command training, helping prepare Army commanders and staffs through planning, exercises, coaching, and mentorship.
In 2022, I assumed command of the 383rd Quartermaster Battalion in El Paso, Texas, overseeing more than 600 Soldiers. This assignment carried responsibility for the battalion’s training, readiness, logistics operations, and the welfare of its Soldiers.
Following completion of my battalion command, I was promoted to Colonel on November 4, 2024. I currently serve as an Exercise Branch Chief within the 1st Mission Command Training Detachment, continuing my commitment to developing leaders and preparing Army units for their missions.
Continuing Military Education
Professional development has remained an important part of my military career. In addition to my initial enlisted and officer training, I completed the Simulations Officer Course in 2016 and the Advanced Operations Course in 2021.
These educational experiences complement my service in transportation, logistics, command, and military training. They reflect a continuing commitment to learning and preparing for greater leadership responsibilities.
