One of the Best Attorneys

We are senior citizens from Washington State. We needed an attorney who dealt with family estates. We interviewed several attorneys in the area but decided Ryan Hodges best fit our needs. It was the best decision we made. He handled all of our needs as quickly as possible in a very professional m...anner. We were never concerned about how things were going. He kept us informed every step of the way. We HIGHLY recommend Ryan Hodges and will happily hire him again should we have need legal assistance in Arizona. Greg and Dale Madewell

Fantastic Estate/Trust Lawyer

Ryan Hodges was really helpful to my sisters and I after we lost both our parents within just a few short months in 2021. Every step of what needed to be done, and when, was clearly outlined for us, in writing, as well as explained. He spent a lot of time patiently clarifying details for settling t...he estates and trust. For over a year and a half, he checked in every couple of weeks to see how we were doing and if we needed any assistance. We (my sisters and I) were all from outside of Arizona, so he had his hands full relaying legalities and filing all the paperwork, while dealing with us primarily remotely. Most importantly, we were treated like family! Jackson White Law Firm’s great respect for my parents and their wishes was always clear. I highly recommend Ryan Hodges and the Jackson White Law Firm.

Trust Execution and Closure

As a trustee, I used Ryan's services for administering details in the execution and closing of a Trust. Ryan was succinct, courteous, knowledgeable and prompt in answering questions. He was very professional with the final letters to beneficiaries, and his estimate of costs for services was correct.... I would definitely recommend his services.

Courteous & Professional

We recently worked with Ryan Hodges on a probate matter and couldn't be more pleased with our experience. When we first contacted Ryan, he was not able to take us on as clients since he already had a heavy load. But he was very helpful in providing information and referrals to other attorneys. When w...e were unable to find another attorney to help us in a timely manner, we called Ryan back. He graciously agreed to take on our case despite his heavy workload. Throughout the process over the past 6 months, Ryan was professional, responsive, and gave us sound legal advice. We know that we wouldn't be able to close our probate matter in such a timely manner without Ryan's help. Because of our wonderful experience working with Ryan, we recently engaged his firm on several estate planning matters. We highly recommend Ryan and his firm, JacksonWhite Law.

Probate Assistance

I lost my mom last year. I decided I needed help with probating her will. While I checked with Google on what I needed to do I discovered Ryan Hodges’ information. I gave his office a call & we began the process of filing probate. Ryan sent me step by step instructions, itemized list, timeline of ...the process & my to-do list. 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

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.
