Wills and Probate

I hired Jackson White Law to assist me with probate for my My late brother 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... and court filings/appearance in Arizona on my behalf. I would definitely hire this team again and I recommend them being your first call when/if you need great attorneys to represent you.

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.

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.

Great Estate Attorney!

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.

Probate & Estate

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.
