When my wife died everything was set up to transfer without going through probate. However, one account at one financial institution (I'll keep them anonymous) refused to transfer assets properly which required going through probate. The probate was relatively simple since only a single account was involved. Ryan Hodges and his staff were very knowledgeable and helpful with the process. They get a thumbs up. Now I need to see if the review I left for the unnamed financial institution is still posted.

After my dad passed away in Mar 21, I contacted multiple lawyers in the Phoenix area to work through Probate. Ryan Hodges at JacksonWhite quickly became the best choice. Ryan helped us resolve the Probate to closure, and was on top of the process the entire time. He laid out the plan, kept us (me) on track with timely deliverables, and was very prompt and knowledgeable when I had questions. The Probate completed without issue, and I credit Ryan for that. If you need a Probate lawyer in AZ, talk to Ryan Hodges. Would absolutely recommend him, professional, great service, fair rates.

The first time I spoke with Ryan Hodges (atty at Jackson-White) I was treated with respect, patience, and understanding. Ultimately it was that personal service that made me choose this firm, and I was not disappointed. Over the next six months, Ryan would continue to provide outstanding professionalism, guidance, and extreme clarity about what to expect with the estate of my father. And, I would absolutely recommend Jackson-White based on my own experience with Ryan Hodges!!

When I decided to take on the task of Personal Representative of my late brother’s estate, it was mind boggling. Mr. Ryan Hodges was recommended by a friend. I contacted him and from that point on through close of probate Mr. Hodges made every phase seem so simple. Anytime I had questions, he responded within minutes. His professionalism is top notch. Also the fees were surprisingly reasonable. If you need the best, this is your man.

My Dad died January 2021 in Arizona and I, as executor living in Oregon, needed to settle his estate but had no knowledge of what to do. His trust officer said I would need an Arizona law firm and suggested Ryan Hodges of JacksonWhite along with several other firms. A message left on their website was answered by a phone call next day from Ryan. He emailed a "to do list" of the steps necessary and information I needed to provide. Dad’s estate was straight forward and there were no squabbles with my brother and sister as I distributed his financial assets. When necessary Ryan communicated directly with the trust officer. By July, after several more "to do lists" all was settled and within the basic fee originally quoted. After the initial phone call all communications were by email with clear, logical, step by step instructions and prompt replies. I am very pleased with the services of Mr. Hodges and recommend him.

Ryan helped me and the co-executor navigate the estate/probate process well. He clearly has a system (and support staff) in place so no step gets overlooked. He was easy to contact via multiple channels (Zoom, phone, in person, email). He answered questions very quickly. When we needed more context or detail to flesh out the next step, he would always provide it when asked. We were very pleased at his no-nonsense, professional help. We felt we received excellent value for the fee charged.

I have been a client of Jackson White Elder Law for over seven years. They have helped me with estate planning, elder care, and the estate settlement of my parents. My only regret is that I didn’t go to the law firm sooner. They came to the house and explained exactly what they do and how their services would help us. Their costs were clear and up front. Through their advice thousands and thousands of dollars were saved. With their help our family avoided financial ruin. My mom suffered from dementia that required her to be placed in a memory care facility. Jackson White assisted us to get mom into a clean, safe, wonderful place where she was cared for full time. They also took care of financial and estate planning, health care directives and power of attorney. At the end everything went smoothly as planned. Our experience with Jackson White has been great and I highly recommend their law firm.

I had used Jackson White's services for my mother, and after she passed I had a financial question. I was put through to Mr. Hodges who was able to advise me and point me in the right direction. It was much appreciated! He answered my emails immediately.
