Oscar M. Blanks III

​

     While Attorney Blanks didn’t always intend to be a lawyer, he always intended to come home to Columbus County. “There was never a question about that,” he said. “I always wanted to come back, to give back to the community that gave me so much.” Within days of graduating East Columbus High School in 1993, Blanks was on his way to college, starting early attending summer classes. He had his sights set on a business management degree and graduated Summa Cum Laude from N.C. Central University in 1999.
 

     His early experiences in the entertainment field fueled the fires for law school. “I was brought up that fair is fair and right is right, “Blanks said. “The little guy needs someone to fight for him.” In May 2010, Blanks received his law degree from N.C. Central University. He went to work for Frasier & Griffin, PLLC in Durham, NC following graduation and primarily practiced Criminal Law, Business Law, and Personal Injury.

 

     Attorney Blanks came home in December 2012 and opened his law practice in 130 Memory Plaza in Uptown Whiteville, NC in January 2013. Attorney Blanks said that his small town roots give him a different perspective. “Everyone has a side. I’m going to do my best for my client, but I’m going to be honest, too. Respect is very important to me, and even if someone is on the opposite side of the “V”, I want them to be able to respect me as I do them. The highest compliment I think any lawyer can receive is for the opposing party to be willing to come to you with a problem later on, even if they lose.”

 

     Attorney Blanks practices Personal Injury, Criminal, Traffic, Business, Entertainment and Federal Law in out of his new Whiteville office located at 126 Memory Plaza.
