My passion for the law is born of my firm belief that everyone, small or disadvantaged, deserves access to justice. I spent nearly 20 years as a firefighter and paramedic in the CIty of Portland, I was born and raised in Oregon, and Oregon is my home. I'm familiar with the changes to our City and the impact that has made on individuals. I'm also a student of tough-nosed litigators who aren't afraid to step into the fight and won't stand for you or your loved ones being taken advantage of.. When I'm not working, I'm reading or writing, or spending time along the Deschutes River where my family and I have had a cabin for several decades.

If you’re in trouble, or someone you care about is in trouble, I’m here to help.. The government has an enormous amount of power.   Our criminal justice system is designed to overwhelm the individual and produce guilty pleas.  The United States has just 5% of the world’s population but we incarcerate almost a quarter of the world’s prisoners.. I can help balance the scales.  I believe in individual rights, compassion, and putting people in a position to be their best selves.  I will listen carefully to your priorities, and will always be honest with you.  I am committed to giving each client complete and clear counsel, every step of the way.  I am an experienced trial lawyer, use creative strategies, and fight to get the best possible result for each and every client.. I also work to make the criminal justice system more fair and humane.  I'm proud to serve on the Oregon State Bar's Uniform Criminal Jury Instructions Committee, the Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association's Legislative Committee, Oregon Justice Resource Center's Amicus Committee, and ACLU's cooperating attorney panel.. I look forward to talking with you.

I love being a dad. The bulk of my free time is spent with my family, riding motorcycles, or being with friends.

As a fifth generation cattle rancher, Laysan Unger brings invaluable knowledge and personal understanding to Dunn Carney’s Environmental and Agricultural & Natural Resources practices.. “I grew up on a cattle ranch in Hawaii,” explains Laysan, “and our property was home to an endangered species, the ‘Alala (Hawaiian Crow). As a result, we were sued under the Endangered Species Act by environmental organizations for access to our property to study that bird. This experience was the impetus for my career: I knew I wanted to work on behalf of private landowners on environmental and natural resource legal issues because of my family’s experience. I personally identify with these legal issues because they are the same issues my family’s agricultural operation faces.”. Beginning her career clerking at Dunn Carney while earning her J.D. in Environmental and Natural Resource Law at Lewis & Clark, Laysan proved herself to be a valuable and passionate ally to Dunn Carney’s clients, earning a position as a Dunn Carney attorney upon passing the Oregon bar. While in law school Laysan served on the executive board for Environmental Law (the environmental law journal of Lewis & Clark Law School) as articles editor and also as president of S.A.B.E.R. (Student Advocates for Business and Environmental Responsibility). She continues this advocacy and outreach through her contributions to Dunn Carney’s Natural Resources Updates blog and annual Ag Summit.. “I love having the opportunity to work on the Dunn Carney Ag Summit because it provides important information to the agricultural community by bringing speakers together in one place… . Facilitating the exchange of ideas and providing valuable information to our clients is something I’m very proud of.”. When not working hard in the trenches as a champion for Oregon Agriculture and landowners, Laysan plays hard as Dunn Carney’s formidable catcher propelling Dunn Carney’s softball team to the 2013 law league playoffs. Off season Laysan enjoys snowboarding, hiking and cheering for the Oregon Ducks as well as her younger brother Max Unger’s team, The Seattle Seahawks.
