About Blinn Lawrence
Blinn Lawrence Cushman trained first as a student of human behavior and then as a lawyer. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Baruch College, City University of New York in 2015 and completed his Juris Doctor at Elon University School of Law the same year. The pair of degrees gave him two frames for looking at problems: one rooted in social science, the other in law.
After completing law school, Cushman built a practice tied to the rules and courts of North Carolina. He is admitted to practice in that state and has practiced in its legal community since his early years as a lawyer. His educational background in psychology remains a touchstone for how he approaches client matters, from interviewing a client to preparing testimony.
Colleagues describe Cushman as methodical. He approaches matters by organizing facts, identifying legal issues and setting priorities for each client. He pays attention to detail in pleadings and filings. At the same time, Cushman applies an understanding of human dynamics to negotiations and courtroom interactions, which he says helps when assessing witness credibility and client expectations.
Cushman has handled a mix of tasks common to many early-career attorneys. He has worked on legal research and drafting, managed discovery, and assisted in trial preparation. He has represented clients at hearings and client conferences. Over time he has taken on more responsibility in case strategy and client counseling. His background in psychology informs the way he explains complex legal concepts to clients and frames options during decision points.
Outside the courtroom and office, Cushman has kept a steady tie to professional development. He pursued continuing legal education and practical training relevant to practicing in North Carolina. He has engaged with peers in local legal circles to refine litigation and client service techniques. That practical work complements his academic background and has shaped how he plans a matter from intake through resolution.
Cushman practices law in North Carolina. He handles a range of matters that draw on both his legal training and his understanding of human behavior. He currently focuses his practice on serving clients across the state of North Carolina.
