Evan was incredibly helpful. I highly recommend reaching out through their 24/7 consultation hotline. I learned a lot more about a complicated situation and Evan was able to explain everything to me and help me understand the risks and best courses of action available to me.

After having a pretty bad experience with a prior attorney, Ryan was amazing. He stepped in, answered all question and was able to move things forward. He was responsive and communicative with me at all times. I would highly recommend this law firm and plan to use them for future needs.

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.

I contacted Ryan Hodges at Jackson & White to sort out all the complexities of probate after my father's passing. There was much to be done, and Ryan handled everything professionally and thoroughly, walking me and my family through the entire process. I would recommend Ryan & Jackson & White in dealing with any family estate matters: they know their stuff. Thanks, Ryan.

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

The Jackson White team really helped us fight the good fight in terms of helping my elderly Mother get into ALTCS. In addition, we were desperately engaged in some serious legal action in terms of guardianship and conservatorship. The team walked the road with us each step of the way. My family and I thank them and whole-heartedly recommend this firm for any and all elder care legal matters.

I have been a client of Jackson White Elder Law for over seven years. They have helped me with estate planning, elder care, and the estate settlement of my parents. My only regret is that I didn’t go to the law firm sooner. They came to the house and explained exactly what they do and how their services would help us. Their costs were clear and up front. Through their advice thousands and thousands of dollars were saved. With their help our family avoided financial ruin. My mom suffered from dementia that required her to be placed in a memory care facility. Jackson White assisted us to get mom into a clean, safe, wonderful place where she was cared for full time. They also took care of financial and estate planning, health care directives and power of attorney. At the end everything went smoothly as planned. Our experience with Jackson White has been great and I highly recommend their law firm.

When I was having difficulty with probate of my daughter's estate, Jackson White Law was recommended by another great law firm. They didn't let me down. Jackson White Law was very patient with me. They were extremely professional and resolved my problem in a timely fashion. Also the cost was reasonable.

I recommend these guys to anyone who gets into an automobile accident, they are great! My boyfriend and I got into a 3 car pile up earlier this year and we was the middle vehicle. At the time I was 3 months pregnant and im also high risk. This was added stress I didn't need. They made the entire experience so easy. Really taking the stress off my shoulders. My boyfriend didn't have health coverage and at first we could not get him the treatment for his injuries that was much needed. Again added stress I didn't need. We couldn't get the insurance co to take our calls or work with us. So thats when I suggested we find an attorney. He did some research and this law firm was recommended by another. Once they got involved it was such a relief. We got exactly what we wanted and what we felt we deserved. They treated us a priority and made us feel important. I'm more then satisfied with the outcome and our over all experience. What a great team of people and such a beautiful firm too. We was so happy that after, even with the pandemic, we wanted to say thank you in person and shake hands. So we did. Thanks to all those at Jackson White who made this experience a breeze!I would like to add a special thank you to Daniel Melcher who worked with us personally throughout the entire process. He was professional, courteous, and never made us feel out of the loop. Thanks for all the hard work and for putting 100 percent into our case. We appreciate you and all you did for us.

Ryan Hodges was extremely helpful and friendly from start to end of the probate process. He provided contact for a realtor to help me sell my fathers home and closely advised me in working with a CPA, all while I reside in CA when the law firm is based in AZ. Even though the pandemic slowed the process Ryan kept in close contact and was readily available any time I had questions or concerns. I highly recommend Ryan Hodges and the entire Jackson & White law firm.

I dealt with Ryan Hodges in the probate department. I have never had to deal with Wills or probate accounts before. Therefore, I had a lot of questions and was confused with what to do. And Ryan made the process run smoothly. He was a pleasure to deal with, responded right away and answered all of my questions & concerns that I had. I will be calling them to set up my own Will. I would recommend using Jackson White.

I have found JacksonWhite Law to be knowledgeable, friendly, and timely. My case is a bit complicated because I function as conservator and Guardian of my ward under a court in another state while Arizona is the residence state for my ward. JacksonWhite has kept things working for me and my ward with little effort from me. They simplify my life and responsibilities.

Stay away from this firm, especially attorney Ryan Hodges. I made the mistake of choosing this law firm to handle my mother's estate. Mr. Hodges misrepresented and overstated his capabilities and experience. I was looking for an attorney that was equipped and experienced to handle a contentious estate that may involve litigation. Mr. Hodges said that he was experienced in litigation and contentious estates. He was not, and when the time for litigation came, he emailed me to advise me to find another firm that was better equipped to handle the litigation. When I questioned why he initially said he could take this case, Mr. Hodges clarified that he was not experienced, but his partner was. According to Mr. Hodges, his partner left the firm, and he could not take the case through litigation.In addition to his lack of experience, Mr. Hodges was incredibly sloppy. All of his draft filings were riddled with errors (incorrect grammar, misspellings, improper syntax). I spent many hours editing his drafts and sending them back. I was shocked to see the laziness and carelessness. It was unprofessional. And of course, he still billed us for the shoddy work.I provided Mr. Hodges with ample evidence of the misdeeds of a family member at the heart of the challenges with the estate. Initially, Mr. Hodges was confident and reassuring. However, when the 'other side' changed counsel, Mr. Hodges quickly changed his tone. Mr. Hodges now wanted to settle. The new opposing firm had Mr. Hodges out of his league. His lack of experience continued to surface. He improperly deposed the other side. His errors in his filings continued, and that cost the estate more money. When I challenged him on some of these errors, he offered to 'half' his hourly rate when the billing came due. And when it came to billing, there were errors and overcharges on that front too.I regret choosing this firm and Mr. Hodges. There was ample evidence and a strong case at the beginning. Unfortunately, Mr. Hodges did little to fight for the estate. I did consult additional attorneys once I realized that Mr. Hodges was incompetent and jeopardized the case. Sadly, we were too far down the road with this firm. On top of the loss of a loved one, the weight of the case became too much. The family decided to close the chapter and settle. Other attorneys that I interviewed sounded shocked at the situation the estate was in.I did a great deal of research on law firms before selecting JacksonWhite. Their reviews on Google and legal review sites were/are good. So maybe we got stuck with a bad apple from a good orchard. But when it comes to something as sacred as settling an estate, I suggest you don't take that gamble with JacksonWhite.

JacksonWhite Law was recommended by a knowledgeable colleague as the best company to assist me in navigating the Arizona Long Term Care System. After a very helpful telephone interview with senior attorney Richard White, and completing the preparations he recommended, I met with attorney Eric MacDonald who reviewed my paperwork and patiently described the process and what was expected of me. Thanks to these fine attorneys my aging relative was accepted into ALTCS. From acceptance until now I have worked with the extremely efficient elder care specialist Shannon Campbell. Ms. Campbell's efficiency, compassion and thoughtfulness have been very welcome during a difficult time, and I am immensely grateful for her attention to my case.

RE John Skiba, attorney for Debt Relief & Bankruptcy. I contacted John regarding 2 judgments that were granted in Maricopa County in 2013. I had LOTS of questions & troubling concerns about foreclosing on my totally paid off home and if I were to sell it, what problems I might encounter. After a 30 min consultation, John TOTALLY set my mind at ease. He answered EVERY one of my questions & gave me recommended options and actions to take or NOT to take. I was impressed that BEFORE our conversation, he did research on the HOMESTEAD act changes coming in 2022 AND the actual judgments... so when we spoke & I questioned things he was already TOTALLY aware and had no reservations about recommending possible outcomes. AND he advised me that IF we chose to negotiate for a settlement it would be wise to be prepared to offer 20-40% of the original judgment (in my case), which was also good news. ALL of this was EXTREMELY encouraging & DE-STRESSING. John is GOOOOOD. I never felt "talked down to " or criticized... He truly appeared to be looking for ALL solutions & possibilities WITHOUT me having to ASK & ASK & ASK... I never felt like I was " pulling teeth" to get information needed... He was knowledgeable & prepared for all scenarios. This consultation was a MAJOR success in my book ... Got ALL that I wanted & needed to know and I have a HUUUUUGE sense of relief, actually knowing what I CAN & SHOULD do... Way to go John. ! ! ! ! ! .. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Tyler White and his team are amazing. Everyone made navigating the daunting and overwhelming process of ALTCS for my ailing father much less stressful. Shannon went above and beyond to help me. I appreciated Tyler’s quick, polite and professional responses to my many questions. I could not have done this without them, nor would my dad be able to stay in the incredible place he’s at without all their help.
