About Hornecker Cowling LLP

Hornecker Cowling LLP traces a Southern Oregon legacy to 1924, when Frank Farrell opened a Medford practice that later grew through respected partnerships, mergers, and expanded service. Today, the law firm stands as the largest private law firm in Southern Oregon, offering individual and corporate clients experienced counsel across a broad range of civil matters.

Hornecker Cowling LLP has built a reputation for legal excellence through focused preparation, ethical advocacy, and practical strategy. The firm’s attorneys and staff work as a coordinated team, helping clients address legal challenges with careful analysis, clear guidance, and solutions shaped by the facts, risks, and goals of each matter.

Hornecker Cowling LLP serves clients in adoptions, appeals, bankruptcy and creditor matters, business law, civil litigation, domestic relations, employment, estate planning, land use, medical and professional malpractice, municipal law, personal injury claims, and real estate. Adoption experience includes involvement in more than 600 adoptions, with services for adoptive families and birth parents in local, interstate, and international matters.

Hornecker Cowling LLP combines litigation strength with transactional depth. The firm’s history includes the 1999 merger of Blackhurst Hornecker with Cowling & Heysell, described as a premier litigation firm in Southern Oregon. That foundation supports strategic representation in complex business, real estate, malpractice defense, and civil disputes, while maintaining a strong focus on confidentiality, client priorities, and dependable legal counsel.

Hornecker Cowling LLP also reflects a lasting commitment to Southern Oregon through service beyond the courtroom and conference room. The firm’s community ties include membership in The Chamber of Medford/Jackson County, support for Sparrow Clubs, and involvement with organizations such as Medford Rogue Rotary Club, United Way of Jackson County, and the ARC of Jackson County.
