My experience with the Jackson*White Law Firm was Star 5 “ALL THE WAY!”I was COMPLETELY LOST when it came to the legal task that had been placed on me, however; after receiving guidance from a caring member of The Firm, I am VERY happy to say that everything turned out flawlessly.I would “highly” recommend the Jackson*White Law Firm to everyone seeking help with “Elder Law.”Not knowing if I should be mentioning their employee’s name who helped me, I’ll just close by giving a HUGE shout-out to LS! I couldn’t have done this without you. Many many thanks!

After researching several referrals for attorneys to help with my mother’s estate, I chose Ryan Hodges at Jackson White Law. Ryan made the process simple and straightforward. Appointments were easy to schedule and he answered all my questions and concerns, including on how the estate would be handled from out of state. All correspondences from Ryan were clear and concise. With Ryan’s help the estate was settled. I appreciate and am thankful for Ryan’s expertise and guidance.

All paperwork & questions were done by email. Ryan filed all paperwork with the court. Everything was completed in 4 months.I appreciate how easy Ryan made this process for me & my family. I will definitely recommend & use Ryan & his associates for any family type planning in the future.Thank you very much,Kathi Casey

Jackson White Law was recommended to us by a title company when an issue came up regarding an old mortgage held by my father's estate. Ryan handled the process very professionally and resolved the situation. The fees were reasonable and he made the process easy. We've used his firm for a couple other legal issues since then and we're very pleased with their service!

I initially reached out to Ryan Hodges at JacksonWhite Law for a consultation due to an unexpected and frustrating estate problem after my father passed. I contacted several attorneys and ultimately selected Mr. Hodges due to the positive reviews people had posted regarding their experience with him, his professionalism, and his apparent understanding of the situation I was facing. Mr. Hodges has successfully helped my family navigate the long and complex probate process and was always available to answer any questions I had along the way, saving me a great deal of stress and helping put my mind at ease throughout this entire process. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ryan Hodges at JacksonWhite Law for any estate or probate issues that you are facing.

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.

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.

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.

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.
