Very satisfied

Marc did an amazing job helping me resolve a very confusing and obscure wildlife crime I was involved with. At the end of the day he was able to bring my charges from a misdemeanor to a simple violation. I highly recommend Marc to anybody dealing with any wildlife infractions he is very passionate an...d knowledgeable about my case and the results speak for themselves.

Amazing Attorney

I have hired Mark twice, once for a criminal defense which he made me feel completely relaxed by the fact that he knew how to precisely get the case dismissed and a second time for rights restoration which he accomplished without any issues. Mark is a awesome attorney and a great guy and I would reco...mmend him to anyone

Amazing lawyer!

It was amazing to work with Marc and the office. Marc was very transparent and open to communication at all times. I was wanting to get some of my past problems "sealed" and we were successful in doing so. Marc and the office always answered and clarified any questions I had. I am very glad that I co...nnected with this law firm and was able to get everything taken care of. Thank you very much

Outstanding!!!

I contacted Marc Gunn regarding a misdemeanor conviction on my record from 28 years ago (I was 18 at the time). This was a non-expungable offense. I explained to Marc, just as I had to so many others over the years, what happened and how I ultimately was convicted. Marc explained to me how this was a... very unique situation and although he would love to help me, there was no provision in place to remove the misdemeanor from my record as this has never been done before. He assured me that this would be a long shot, but he would be willing to take on my case if this is what I chose to do. Marc stood up in court and fought for me and the unjust that occurred 28 years ago. For the first time in the history of the US court systems, the court agreed with his argument that this was a unique situation deserves consideration and ruled in my favor. Marc took on my case with the dedication to make the impossible...possible. What Marc did was a miracle. He believed in me, fought for me, and got justice for me that was long over do. I highly recommend Marc Gunn with Gunn & Gunn Attorneys at Law!

A very satisfied client

Mr. Gunn helped me with a legal matter, from contact to resolution. Exceptional communication; Mr. Gunn was very clear with his responses to my questions regarding my case., both via email and telephone. I was provided with copies of everything, as well as the original document at closure. I wo...uld definitely recommend Mr. Gunn. If Marc can't help you, he will help you find someone who can.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
