Excellent communication and clockwork process steps

My mother passed away and I needed an AZ attorney to shepherd the estate through probate. I chose JacksonWhite Law because their initial online checklist was so helpful that I didn't look anywhere else after that. Ryan Hodges always communicated promptly and with accuracy and efficiency, and -- this ...is key -- based on all this, I fully understood the process steps, including upcoming and next-steps. It proceeded like clockwork.

Settling estate

Our mother had passed away in September, 2021. Our brother was listed as the successor trustee on her home in Lake Havasu, Az. The successor trustee refused to provide any information regarding the property to my brother and I. I live in Washington State and my brother lives in Oregon, so it was ...difficult to have access to a law firm in Arizona. We contacted our mother’s friend in Lake Havasu City and Jackson White Law came highly recommended. We were fortunate to have Ryan Hodges as our counsel. He worked with the successor trustee to obtained legal documents and selling of the property. Ryan kept us informed of all ongoing activity with the successor trustee. He responded to our emails timely and was always professional and helpful. It took a little over a year to settle the estate. With Ryan’s help we were able to have a good outcome.

I was Trustee for a friend's trust. I was set to sale and sign on a small piece of land in the Mohave Desert. My friend died the day before I signed to sell her land. It went into probate. I could not understand the "simple" paper work that I needed to fill out. I picked Ryan Hodges name out of li...st from the title company. He very professionally rescued me. He filled out the paperwork, he had me send what papers he needed, filed it and kept in touch with me as to what was happening next. Befoire I knew it I had the check in the account and very happy to have it over with and I moved on! I am very grateful for Ryan Hodges expertise and if I ever need an attorney in Arizona I know where I will go.

Ryan Hodges,Attorney

Ryan Hodges, Attorney, was a God send for our family & helped us all the way through a Probate when my sister passed away during an awarded Class Action Law Suit for Roundup. Unfortunately we ended up having to go through probate, even though my sister had written a Will, designating her Roundup awa...rd. We were really blessed to have Ryan helping us through every step from the start to the final payment! Thank you again Ryan. We appreciate you!
