Ryan Hodges at Jackson White Law Firm made the probate/estate process for my late husband much less scary than I had anticipated it would be (due to my lack of previous knowledge of how the process works - fear of the unknown!). I was overwhelmed with a seemingly insurmountable to-do list related to my late husband's affairs, but it quickly became apparent what a tremendous blessing it was to have Ryan on board to take care of this big item on my plate. He was professional, courteous, and highly responsive, answering my questions, providing detailed step by step instructions all along the way, and never making me feel like an inconvenience to him. I would highly recommend Ryan and the Jackson White Law Firm to anyone in need of estate and/or probate services!

My family was in a very difficult and complicated situation following my mothers death. all her assets where taken by the power of attorney for my mother. an attorney I knew recommended I call Ryan Hodges at Jackson White and Assoc., This was the best advice I could have received. After having a meeting with Ryan I was confident he was the right person to handle this horrible and stressful situation my family was in. Ryan got all the money back set up the probate process and was by my families side handling all Questions and situations as they arose. On behalf of my family , We want to thank Ryan Hodges and his team for getting us through this terrible situation.

Ms. Weeks is truly a wonder of a woman who can take any level of heaviness of a case and reduce it to being no lighter than a feather. After consulting Jackson White Law for misdemeanor charges thrown at me, she took over my case and literally handled it like a Boss. It took her only a few weeks(during the midst of the height of the pandemic in Phoenix) to relieve me of this case and essentially end the prosecution against me. My case has not completed its full course yet, so everything is not official but that's only due to the matter of time of going to court to make its completion official. In consideration of what she was up against, I confirm as a direct client that Ashelee will step strongly to any potential legal battle and wrestle it down to submission, serving me like a champion who serves her audience that pays to see an awesome performance. Needless to say I am very happy with Ashelee's handling of my case and I know for a fact that anyone else who is fortunate to have her will have the same if not better experience.

From a fellow law breaker- GO WITH THIS FIRM. Wade and Adam got me exactly what I was wanted. They both respond quickly to messages and are non judgmental. I went with another firm and was offered 1 year jail- This firm got a deal of me just paying a small fine. Seriously. Sit down with them.

I just wanna say Atty.Pace Rawlins is the best out of the best!! He is such an amazing and great guy. He made impossible become possible. Such a committed man when it comes to his work. We’re from the Philippines and he helped me and my brother experience what American dream is. So there’s three of us and the two of us are here now, so one more to go and I’m 100 percent sure that Atty.Pace can get my other brother too. So if you’re looking for a great immigration lawyer? Look no more, he is the right guy and trust me on this one!

I engaged Attorney Ryan Hodges of Jackson White in AZ, to assist me in settling my brothers estate. I live in MA and have no knowledge of AZ law. Attorney Hodges did a tremendous job from start to finish. There were no unexpected surprises from start to conclusion. He explained everything in great, easy to understand detail as to what to expect and what I needed to do. His responsiveness to questions were always received the same day. And regarding fees, I felt they were reasonable with no hidden or unexpected fees or expenses. I highly recommend Attorney Hodges for handling your estate needs.

My lawyer, Ryan Hodges is the best!!!! He helped me through an emotional time and handling my uncle's estate. He is very understanding, committed and he did not treat me like a"just a client.... he treated me with respect and understanding of what I was going through. He always responded to any questions or concerns I had. He was clear in any of explanation of what I needed to do and guided me all the way to the very end. I know my uncle would have liked him and would be proud that I had hired him on to help me take care of his estate. I would recommend mr. Hodges to Everybody!!!!

My experience with the Jackson White law firm was excellent. The attorney and staff that I worked with were very helpful, knowledgeable, and as responsive as one could expect during this period of a virus pandemic. I would utilize their services again, if the need were to arise, and I would recommend them to others.

So I needed to find someone to help me with my DACA renewal. I had just moved to New Mexico and didn’t know anyone so I asked around and a family member recommended me to give them a call, so I did. Let me tell you, from the second they answered the phone they were soooo nice and helpful. I had just recently been in a car accident so they were very understanding with my financial situation. We set up an appointment and they made the whole process so easy! I now have my DACA renewed for another two years and I am so thankful for their help!.. They are always so professional, nice and easy to reach. If you are looking for a lawyer, I would totally recommend them! (They have now helped me with my last two DACA renewals and I am 110% satisfied with their work every time!)

Fantastic experience. I had a consultation with Nermana regarding a family law case that was extremely helpful. She is professional, punctual, insightful, a great listener and strong communicator. I've met with several law firms in the area and this was by far the best experience that I've had. Highly recommended.

I went through multiple immigration attorneys before I began my pathway to my residency with Pace Rawlins & Gabriela Badalamenti. They are the best people I could have chosen to help guide me and represent me through this whole process. The most understanding, professional, and overall genuine people I have ever worked with. They submitted my immigration case October 2019 & I received my residency in April 2020. No doubt that none of it was possible without them, so I one hundred percent recommend them to anyone with any issues regarding immigration!

Back in 2012, TYLER WHITE helped our family establish a trust under some difficult circumstances. I so appreciated the fact that after just three short meetings, I knew that everything was in very capable hands. Everyone at that law group was kind, professional, approachable, and very efficient. Recently, we needed more information on settling that trust, however, distance and the recent pandemic made it impossible to come in for an appointment. Tyler remembered the facts of our meeting eight years ago and referred us to RYAN HODGES who answered ALL of our questions PROMPTLY within just hours of our contact with him. I never expected, after all these years, to get any advise. I would highly recommend Jackson White Law Firm. They stand by their clients and make communication with their experts in each field effortless.

Definitely one of the best experiences I have ever had dealing with lawyers. Everyone here is friendly and professional and hardworking and goes the extra mile to help. They are also some of the most extremely knowledgeable attorneys that I have ever seen. I am very impressed with these lawyers and this law firm. They are much better than the pepper Jack cheese attorneys that I have used in the past. 5 stars all the way!!!!

I have been a client for almost 20 years. I have gone through elder law situations for my mother and father, estate planning for my wife and I and a conservatorship and guardianship for my wife. Then finally a probate situation when my wife passed away. They have always let me know exactly what I needed to do to keep things going in the right direction. I highly recommend the law firm of Jackson White for anyone who has any legal questions or situations. They have never let me down and I'm sure they will do the same for you.

I worked with Ryan Hodges of JacksonWhite Law to assist me and my family in dealing with the estate of my deceased brother. All my questions were answered promptly and courteously. It was very easy to schedule time with him by phone. Let's face it: you don't anticipate being the executor of an estate, and you certainly don't train for it to get ready to deal with the unexpected. Hiring Mr. Hodges immediately took much of the burden off my shoulders. I highly recommend him if you become the executor of an estate.

I had the pleasure of working with the Jackson white team and boy was it the best decision I made. I worked with jermey Geigel and John Dosdall. Back in June I was arrested for a citation quoted exhibition of speed, the officer didn’t even trap my speed with a radar device and I was very fristrated. Thankfully I was able to find these 2 attorneys at law. They were able to work through multiple court cases in which the first prosecuted was not willing to budge on my criminal citation, they didn’t even hesitate to give up but presumed to do everything in their power and knowledge to fight through my case. The were able to make a few more court appearances on my behalf and ended up getting it down to a civil citation and a plea deal with ease. The craziest part to me is I never even set foot in the court room until the final resolution in signing the plea! These guys and Jackson white Law are above and beyond! They are very professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and most importantly pationate and confident in what they do. I would gladly refer ANYONE to Jeremy Geigel, or John Dosdall to represent them in court with 0 hesitation! Thank you jackson white law and Jeremy Geigel and John Dosdall, I couldn’t have done it without you guys!read more
