Neumiller & Beardslee

Neumiller & Beardslee has been a premier law firm in the Central Valley for over 120 years. Our firm has a rich history of providing exceptional legal services to our clients, and we are proud to be a regional leader in our field.

Our Firm's History

Our story began in 1903 when two Stockton lawyers, Arthur H. Ashley and Charles L. Neumiller, formed the law firm of Ashley & Neumiller. As the firm grew and evolved over the years, we became involved in many significant events in the region's history. We represented clients in landmark cases, such as the litigation between the Holt Manufacturing Company and the Best Tractor Company, which led to the formation of the Caterpillar Tractor Company. We also played a key role in bringing the Western Pacific Railroad to Stockton, ending the monopoly of the Southern Pacific Railroad in the area.
