Ryan Hodges at JacksonWhite

I had a complex and complicated probate issue and I needed legal assistance in order to make informed decisions. I chose to hire Ryan Hodges at JacksonWhite PC law firm because he was prompt in answering my questions and provided me with explanations I could understand. Ryan was instrumental in get...ting my case filed in Probate Court in Arizona in a short amount of time. Because of Ryan’s prompt actions and knowledge of probate law I was successful in my case. Ryan obtained a settlement for myself and my daughter. As a direct result of Ryan’s actions, my daughter has a path to college. JacksonWhite is a customer service-oriented law firm. At all times I was kept informed of the status and progress of my case. I highly recommend Ryan Hodges and JacksonWhite in Mesa, Arizona.

Excellent Probate Attorney

The first attorney that I hired from a different law firm, failed to file Probate after my mother’s death. As a result, I did additional research and discovered Ryan Hodges, JacksonWhite Law from Mesa. Hiring Ryan was the best thing I could have done! Ryan clearly explained the probate process in t...erms that I understood. His knowledge of the probate process is extensive and with his assistance, a full probate was not needed as he was able to negotiate with an uncooperative family member that agreed to our terms and conditions! Communicating with Ryan was very simple as I could also text him with any questions and he would always respond, not an assistant or support staff, but the man himself! All our correspondence was via text or email, but I also had the option of making an appointment to meet in person if needed. Should I ever need an attorney again, I will be contacting JacksonWhite Law or Ryan directly if needed.

He provided excellent service helping us manage a family trust

Jackson White has provided my family with excellent and affordable service when we needed legal service for dealing with a family trust, where some of the siblings were sending lawyer letters to us. Ryan Hodges did a great job cutting through the bluster and helping to make sure that we were doing e...verything we needed to do to manage the trust. Reply lawyer letters were done very quickly and easily. Living in a rural area, we were able to do everything remotely. Ryan was very knowledgeable and promptly answered all of our questions. He also helped us with the complicated issue of distributing money to someone with special needs. After two and a half years of using Jackson White to finally shut down the trust, they will be at the top of our list when looking for help with any more legal matters that come up.

Recommendation for probate lawyer Ryan Hodges

We hired Ryan Hodges from Jackson White Law to assist with my Mothers trust. After several other phone calls to other law offices, all of my siblings and I were in 100% agreement to hire Ryan. He had a comforting manner, was an excellent listener and took his time explaining the process to us. He d...id an excellent job during the entire time to explain what the probate timeline looked like and why. Ryan was so very responsive and patient. He made himself available and we utilized his online calendar to schedule calls with him which worked out perfectly. I would hire Ryan and this law firm for any of my needs in the future without question.

Expert Service for Probate

I hired JacksonWhite Law to assist me with probate for my late father's estate. Attorney Ryan Hodges helped me through the process from start to finish with great expertise. He's responses to my many questions were handled promptly and courteously. Ryan and his team handled all the documentation a...nd court filings/appearance in Arizona on my behalf. Since I live out of state, this was a huge benefit for my current situation and the outcome was exactly what I needed. I would definitely hire this team again and I recommend them being your first call when/if you need great attorneys to represent you.
