Our History

 

More Than 50 Years of Trusted Legal Counsel

Furniss Shearer & Leineweber has been serving individuals, families, and businesses throughout Oregon for more than 50 years. The firm's roots date back to 1973, when Anthony W. Furniss began practicing law after serving as a Deputy District Attorney in Marion and Washington Counties. Over the following decade, Glen S. Shearer joined the firm in 1979, bringing extensive experience in workers' compensation and insurance litigation, followed by Gregory J. Leineweber in 1984, whose background included service as an Assistant District Attorney and years in private practice. Together, the three partners built a firm known for exceptional trial advocacy, practical legal counsel, and long-standing client relationships.

From its beginnings as a litigation-focused practice, the firm expanded to serve the evolving legal needs of Oregon families and businesses, adding estate planning, probate and trust administration, business planning, and elder law services while continuing its strong tradition in personal injury, workers' compensation, and civil litigation. Throughout its history, Furniss Shearer & Leineweber has remained committed to providing experienced, personalized legal representation with integrity, professionalism, and a focus on long-term client relationships.

Today, the firm continues that tradition while embracing modern technology and innovative client service, helping individuals and families protect what matters most through thoughtful planning and trusted legal guidance.
