About Marcus Alexander Gunn
I am a third-generation DUII/Criminal Defense Attorney from Salem, Oregon. I started practice in 2021 after working for a public criminal defense provider during law school. After taking the bar exam, I joined my family's criminal defense law firm in Salem, Oregon as an associate attorney with my father, Marc. W. Gunn, and my grandfather, Robert J. Gunn. I tried my first DUII case as a law student in Spring 2021 and obtained a Not Guilty verdict.
