Ryan Kenneth Hodges

Attorney Ryan Hodges did an exceptional job of assisting me with the handling of my mother's estate in Arizona. He was knowledgeable, professional, courteous and responsive. Losing a loved one is a difficult and emotional time, and Ryan helped keep the process on point by navigating the multitude of ...legal filings with the probate court and expertly guiding me through each step of the process. I never felt rushed or unsure. Although I live on the east coast, I never felt out of the loop. Whenever, I had a question or concern, he was only an email or call away with an answer. It was a smooth process, and I was very satisfied with his services, price and performance and I would highly recommend Ryan Hodges to help you with your estate matters.

My brother passed away on May 30, 2023. He did not have a will and had no property so I thought it was going to be easy. Before passing he was a resident of the Arizona Veterans Home. Unbeknownst to me, he had taken money out of the bank and took it with him to the Veterans Home. They put it in a tru...st for him to use but he did not have me as a beneficiary. When he passed they issued a check to "THE ESTATE OF" instead of directly to me, which the bank would not touch without me being named administrator of his estate. Which is why I needed to go the Probate route. This being all new to me I was pretty clueless on how to proceed. I did some research on Probate attorneys in the area which is where I found Jackson White. Now there were tons of probate lawyers in my search but I looked at their website and liked what I saw which is why I chose them. Ryan Hodges was the attorney assigned to me. He took the time to walk me through step by step what I needed to do. My siblings were, shall we say, less than cooperative at times as it was new to them as well. Ryan took the time to explain in simple English what needed to happen and was very patient with us throughout this process. I was finally named as the Administrator. The process took awhile but was finally able to get the check deposited into an Estate account that was set up. Funds have been disbursed and the 6 month nightmare (at least for me) has been resolved. My thanks to Ryan and his firm for getting me through a very stressful 6 months. I will definitely choose them again in the future should the need arise.

Nothing but good things to say about the help and guidance I received from Ryan Hodges at JacksonWhite! I learned of my estranged father’s passing in Apache Junction and was able to connect with Ryan after an extensive search for a probate attorney. What made me choose him was he was the only attor...ney to have a consult call with me, all of the other firms had assistants or paralegals. Nothing wrong with paralegals, but there was something reassuring about hearing directly from the attorney. He was able to guide me step by step through the probate/estate process, all while I was many states away. He gave great recommendations for real estate agents and tax accountants, which made the process seamless. Every question I had, which was many, he was prompt and detailed in his responses. I cannot thank him enough for helping me through this process and I would highly recommend him to anyone in the area! By closing this estate as quick and efficiently as he did, it really set me and my family ahead for many years to come.
