Ryan Hodges, Probate and Eldercare

Our experience with Ryan Hodges was in his capacity as a probate attorney.  My brother died suddenly shortly after arriving at our home in Florida. He did not have a will and his estate involved a former wife with medical concerns and shared property in Gilbert AZ.  We wanted to find a local AZ proba...te attorney that also had experience with eldercare. My husband used AVVO to identify and then interview several attorneys in the Phoenix area.  From the first conversation he was impressed with Ryan's responsiveness, professionalism, knowledge, and patience with his many questions and concerns. I shared his opinion from my first contact with Ryan. This was my first experience as a Personal Representative and he led me through the process. Being remote was not an issue. He communicated effectively regardless of the medium. All paperwork and filings were done in an accurate and timely manner. This was a very stressful situation for us, complicated by COVID. Ryan's calm and friendly demeanor, straight forward responses, and professional competency took away a lot of the stress. It was a pleasure to work with him. We highly recommend Ryan’s services.

estate settlement

Mr Hodges was my attorney for an estate where I was the trustee. I live out of state and was a total novice but Mr Hodges guided me every step of the way. He set out a plan and a schedule from the beginning so I could proceed in an orderly fashion. He answered all questions quickly and made sugge...stions when needed. The estate is now settled and I couldn't be happier with how smoothly it went. I would definitely recommend Mr Hodges and White Jackson Law without any reservations

Great attorney to work with!

I worked with Mr. Hodges on settling my aunt's estate. She died without a will and there were twenty-two heirs involved who live in states other than Arizona. All of my contact was thru email or over the phone. Mr. Hodges couldn't have been more patient and calm, helping me to understand my role a...nd responsibilities as personal representative for the group. I felt he was honest and trustworthy and made me feel confident in working with someone whom I hadn't met in person. I would not hesitate to work with him again.

Ryan did an excellent job in guiding me through the probate process regarding my mother's property. Due to Covid-19, this entire process had to be handled remotely & Ryan communicated very well, provided the necessary documents, along with guidance and made sure everything went as smoothly as possib...le.

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.
