I think the fastest response I've ever received from my lawyer Jon M. Mcavoy was to top up my retainer. I have to constantly reach out to advocate for my case and it takes days if not weeks for the paralegal to answer me. I'm disappointed and discouraged and I would not recommend this firm.

I reached out to Ryan Hodges for help with probate administration. I chose him and Jackson White because of their good reviews, and they did not disappoint. Ryan made the entire process very easy for me despite my unique circumstances, and was always prompt with a friendly answer to any question I had. Our estate was handled with the utmost professionalism, and I’m happy to recommend Ryan.

Ryan Hodges was the attorney that assisted me with my mom’s estate. From start to finish, Ryan directed me thru every step of the process and advised me of the progress along the way and kept me up to speed as to what still needed to be done. Any time I had a questions Ryan was quick to respond to my emails, most of the time within the hour. For many, the loss of a loved one is heart wrenching and can be very stressful. Ryan made this process stress free. I knew exactly what I needed to do and when it needed to be done by. If you ever need a probate attorney, I would strongly recommend giving Ryan a call. Thank you, Ryan.

I was referred to JacksonWhite Law and worked with Ryan Hodges to help with the resolution of my parent's estate. Ryan worked quickly through the process and communicated thoroughly at every step. He was always willing to speak with me and offer assistance if I had any questions. I would definitely recommend Ryan and JacksonWhite Law for any legal needs.

Ryan Hodges did an excellent job helping me through the probate process of my late father's will. I was concerned that living out of state would make things difficult, but Ryan was a godsend. He made the whole probate process easy and simple. We communicated regularly via email as he walked me through the proceedure step by step, explaining the purpose of each and every document he sent. When I had questions, he would respond in a timely manner with clear and concise answers. With his help and guidance, the estate was settled and all concerned parties were satisfied with the outcome. His patience and understanding, turned what seemed to be a difficult and unpleasant undertaking, into an easy and simple task. I would highly recommend Ryan Hodges to anyone that is in need of legal assistance with probate matters.

When my husbands mother passed away, we were unsure of how to proceed with her estate. A friend recommended Ryan Hodges to us. He was very professional and helped us through every step of the process. We highly recommend Ryan Hodges.

In late 2020 I learned of the death of my cousin who had passed away a few months earlier but had left no contact information or any directives on what to do in the event of his death. Fortunately one of his work colleagues had found on old phone book which had my number which she called. If no directions in the event of death, the county had cremated his body and had buried it in a cemetery for the homeless.I realized that I needed an attorney to work through the estate and probate.I was not familiar with any attorneys in the Phoenix area so I went online and started to looking at reviews for probate attorneys. I ended up selecting Ryan Hodges at Jackson White which ended up being an excellent decision. Since my cousin did not have a will or left any financial records, it was a challenge to track down all of this investments and accounts. We were able to distribute several hundred thousand dollars to all of the heirs. Ryan walked me through every step of the way until we were able to close probate. I can confidently recommend Ryan to handle any of the legal issues that you may encounter when dealing with a death.

Loosing both parents to Covid-19 was the single hardest event in my life, to date. Ryan with JacksonWhite Law made dealing with the estate and subsequent probate easier. While communications were sometimes delayed (on both sides) he provided step by step instructions with examples and sound advice while navigating the tumultuous waters of our judicial system. Ryan is a true professional and an asset should the need for just such an attorney ever arise in your life.

Ryan Hodges was referred to us by the attorney handling our deceased parents trust. Our parents had property in Havasu that was not listed in the trust so we were anticipating a lenghthy probate process. Ryan was very responsive, professional, and efficient. He gathered the details and paperwork that wecould find which, unfotunately, was not very helpful. Ryan drew up and provided to all the heirs the documents we needed with detailed, specific but concise instructions. He identified a path without full probate for us and within just a few weeks the properties were transferred to the heirs.....painlessly. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone needing his services.

I would highly recommend Ryan Hodges of Jackson White Law firm who is the attorney who has helped me through 2 separate probate cases. There were so many questions that I had when taking care of my aunt's estate that I finally called Ryan (he was referred to me by a friend). He coached me through the process and explained everything in a way that I could easily understand and was very patient and calming throughout the process. I had gotten pretty overwhelmed and stressed over all the paperwork that was required but once Ryan took over it was such a relief! So, this year, when I chose to handle my mother's estate, I had already made up my mind to use Ryan's services to make it easy and to make sure everything was done correctly. He was very professional in his dealings with family members and took the time to answer their questions and explain the process to them. At all times, I was aware of what was transpiring and what the next step would be. If I had any questions or concerns, all it took was a phone call or email and he responded right away with answers. My goal was to go through probate with as little stress as possible and with Ryan's help and expertise......MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!

Thanks Ryan and Jackson White for all the assistance in settling my husband’s estate. My Husband Jeff passed in July after contracting COVID-19 while in the Hospital for treatment of a bleeding ulcer. At the time we hadn’t gotten around to making a will (although we were always going to) we thought that as far as most of our banking was concerned, we were in good shape, and we really had no creditors. I tried doing all the things that were expected like calling Social Security and stopping his pension check, but within just a few days of his death his checking (which most of our bills were paid via autopay) and our savings accounts were frozen by the bank. I tried dealing with the bank on my own and knew at that point I was in over my head; I was really having a hard time dealing with his death and just barely functioning. A day or two later I was sorting through all of Jeff’s personal paperwork for the funeral and information the bank requested, and a business card fell out of one of the folders. It was a card for Jackson White. I remembered that my husband had used them years earlier for His Mom and had he always said it was the best money he had ever spent, so I called them. From my first phone call with Ryan, I knew that he was going to be able to help me with the most horrific time in my life. I was provided clear step by step instructions on all the information I needed to provide, and all the legal paperwork that was necessary to work our way through Probate. My best advise would be to make sure you have a will or trust done before a crisis like this and not put it off.

When my mother passed away last Spring I originally planned to handle the majority of her estate's probate myself, despite living out-of-state. But it soon became evident that I really needed some experienced "boots on the ground". After reviewing dozens of local law offices, I narrowed my selection to 6 firms and phoned each to discuss my concerns. Of all the attorneys I spoke with during this process of elimination, one stood out as being especially kind, knowledgeable, and patient: Ryan Hodges of JacksonWhite.That first impression proved spot-on. Over the course of the next seven months, I phoned and emailed Ryan with dozens of questions. And each time he responded quickly and precisely - whether about straightforward matters like the mechanics of filing probate, or more nuanced issues like negotiating debt settlements with creditors and interpreting legal precedence in estate planning - saving me thousands of dollars and many hours of work. On the very rare occasion when he did not have an answer, Ryan consulted with his colleagues at JacksonWhite and passed their guidance on to me (at no additional cost). I cannot begin to describe how deeply I appreciated that level of commitment and professionalism. I cannot more highly recommend Ryan Hodges (and JacksonWhite Law).

Ryan Hodges represented my late father's estate, which was extremely complex. I live out of state, so Mr. Hodges helped me set everything up, and then worked with my local attorneys to wade through the mire. He is extremely knowledgeable about estate law in Arizona, and was very quick and efficient in getting things done. He was also able to connect me to other attorneys at Jackson White who were able to help me with related issues with the sale of properties and business management. For simple or complex cases, I would recommend him.

Ryan was so helpful not only in handling my late Aunt’s estate, but also in giving us the advice we needed to get started. There were some difficult circumstances surrounding her unexpected passing and the lack of having her assets in order. We had consultations with multiple law offices and Ryan was the only attorney that was able to directly answer our questions with knowledge and confidence, and help us to take the necessary steps to sort through a very hard time of life. Highly recommended for anyone that needs legal help with probate/estate matters.

I engaged Ryan Hodges at JacksonWhite Law to assist with the settlement of my father's estate. I chose Ryan because of his wide breadth of estate tax knowledge and his ability to synthesize and communicate all the nuances of the law pertaining to my father's estate.Ryan was able to outline the steps necessary to guide me through the probate process in a manner that was easy to understand. Moreover, he arranged for all the legal filings and kept me advised at each step along the way. I really appreciated that he was always available for a phone call and that he always provided prompt replies to any email requests.As a result of Ryan's services, we were able to wrap up probate very quickly and the burden I have been carrying for the past 12 years has now been lifted.

My husband and I connected with Mr. Hodges, and he was incredibly helpful. My father had passed away in AZ. I live in Maine. I also had no idea what to do or how it was going to get done with such distance. My dad didnt have a Will. So we really started at ground zero. Ryan was so kind, he virtually held my hand every step of the way. No matter what I threw at him he would nail it with a home run. We would absolutely use this law firm again and again. Please call them! You wont be sorry. Thank you for making a very unpleasant experience as easy as it was for us. We appreciate the work that was done.

Mr. HODGES WAS EXCELLENT. I needed help transferring property, and other assets from my mother who passed away and had no Will in place. I was totally lost on where to begin what to file or even how to file Mr. Hodges took all my information and filed all the correct paperwork with the court saving me a ton of time, money and run around. I would highly suggest if you have a loved one who passed and you don't what to do with property personal belonging or where to begin give Mr. HODGES a call at Jackson White.

After my dad passed away in Mar 21, I contacted multiple lawyers in the Phoenix area to work through Probate. Ryan Hodges at JacksonWhite quickly became the best choice. Ryan helped us resolve the Probate to closure, and was on top of the process the entire time. He laid out the plan, kept us (me) on track with timely deliverables, and was very prompt and knowledgeable when I had questions. The Probate completed without issue, and I credit Ryan for that. If you need a Probate lawyer in AZ, talk to Ryan Hodges. Would absolutely recommend him, professional, great service, fair rates.

Ryan Hodges of Jackson White did an outstanding job of helping me navigate the probate process when my father died. He always returned my phone calls and emails immediately. Ryan balanced the process and saved me fees by letting me complete the tasks he knew I could do. I've referred him to many of my neighbors and friends if they want estate legal work.

The first time I spoke with Ryan Hodges (atty at Jackson-White) I was treated with respect, patience, and understanding.Ultimately it was that personal service that made me choose this firm, and I was not disappointed.Over the next six months, Ryan would continue to provide outstanding professionalism, guidance, and extreme clarity about what to expect with the estate of my father.And, I would absolutely recommend Jackson-White based on my own experience with Ryan Hodges!!

My Dad died January 2021 in Arizona and I, as executor living in Oregon, needed to settle his estate but had no knowledge of what to do. His trust officer said I would need an Arizona law firm and suggested Ryan Hodges of JacksonWhite along with several other firms. A message left on their website was answered by a phone call next day from Ryan. He emailed a "to do list" of the steps necessary and information I needed to provide. Dad’s estate was straight forward and there were no squabbles with my brother and sister as I distributed his financial assets. When necessary Ryan communicated directly with the trust officer. By July, after several more "to do lists" all was settled and within the basic fee originally quoted. After the initial phone call all communications were by email with clear, logical, step by step instructions and prompt replies. I am very pleased with the services of Mr. Hodges and recommend him.John Womack
