Section 3: Practice Areas & Services

Primary Focus: Three practice areas of roughly equal emphasis — catastrophic (personal) injury, medical malpractice, and employee-side employment law. The firm concentrates on serious, high-value matters and does not handle high-volume, low-value auto claims.

Personal / Catastrophic Injury

Medical Malpractice

Employment Law (Employee Side)

  • Employment Law: Representation of employees in workplace disputes, including wrongful termination, retaliation, wage-and-hour claims, and employment contracts.
  • Workplace Discrimination: Discrimination claims under the Idaho Human Rights Act and Title VII.
  • Workplace Harassment: Hostile-work-environment and harassment claims.

Target Audience: Individuals and families in Idaho facing life-altering injuries, harm from medical negligence, the loss of a loved one, or serious workplace violations — particularly those with high-value claims who want direct involvement from the attorney handling the case.

Competitive Advantage: The firm deliberately limits its caseload so that Matthew G. Gunn personally develops strategy and handles each case rather than passing it to associates or case managers. It concentrates on serious, high-value catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, and employment matters instead of high-volume intake. Reported results include a $1.3 million medical malpractice jury verdict and a landmark Idaho Supreme Court appeal on ski-area liability.
