About Rick K.
Rick K. Vernon earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Oklahoma State University in 1998. He continued his legal education at Oklahoma City University School of Law, receiving his Juris Doctor in 2001. Those years set the stage for a practice rooted in the state's legal institutions and local communities.
After law school, Vernon began practicing law in Oklahoma. Over the years he has worked in private practice and handled matters that take him into state courts and administrative forums. He is licensed to practice in Oklahoma and has built a practice shaped by the demands of clients across the state.
Vernon's early files included a range of matters common to state practitioners. He developed experience advising individuals and small businesses, preparing legal documents, and representing clients in contested proceedings. He has handled negotiations and courtroom appearances, and he has balanced transactional work with litigation when circumstances required a courtroom response.
He formed Vernon Legal, PLLC, where he serves as the principal attorney. At the firm he manages both client work and the day-to-day operation of a small legal practice. That role combines case management, client counseling, and the administrative responsibilities that come with running a firm.
Colleagues describe Vernon as a lawyer who approaches each file methodically. He prepares cases so that clients understand their options and the likely next steps. His work often requires translating complex legal concepts into plain language so clients can make practical decisions.
Vernon has remained based in Oklahoma throughout his career. He follows developments in state law and procedure closely. That attention helps him advise clients on deadlines, local rules, and practical courtroom considerations that can affect outcomes.
Outside the office he has taken part in professional activities and local legal community events. He maintains professional ties in the state and continues to consult with peers on matters that require broader experience or specialized expertise.
As principal of Vernon Legal, PLLC, he handles a range of matters for clients in Oklahoma and continues to focus his practice on serving individuals and businesses in state-level legal matters.
