Great Experience

Ryan Hodges did a great job helping me with becoming the Personal Representative of my father's estate and collect on some outstanding accounts. He was prompt and honest with answers and time frames needed to accomplish tasks by both him and myself. I had tried to handle the estate dealings on my ...own only to become frustrated with a government system I knew nothing about. We used Jackson White in the past for Trust planning. They were great for that too! For dealing with both the Trust and the Estate, it was definitely money well spent to avoid the complications and frustrations that can occur. Thanks Ryan!

Great Experience!

After searching for probate lawyers we were blessed to find Ryan Hodges at Jackson White Law. He was very informative about the process, best rate we found and did not ask for money up front which really helped as we were dealing with 2 separate probate cases. Ryan was very helpful and knowledgeable ...throughout the entire process and even when additional work outside of the normal probate cost was required, the fees were very reasonable and affordable. Having to deal with probate after a loved one passes away is not easy and Ryan made things much easier and smooth throughout the process. Highly recommend Ryan and this firm!

Knowledgeable, Responsive, Professional Probate Attorney

If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and professional probate attorney, I highly recommend Ryan Hodges at Jackson White Law. I spoke with several attorneys before choosing Mr. Hodges, and his combination of expertise, clear communication, and fair pricing stood out. He guided me through... every step of the probate process with clarity and efficiency, even resolving unexpected issues like a poorly written will and missing trust documents—without extra fees. He was always proactive, never left me waiting, and made a complex process feel manageable. Truly exceptional service from start to finish.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
