Our attorneys helps individuals make financial and medical preparations for the Arizona Long-Term Care System. We have successfully represented clients in litigation matters involving car accidents, dog attacks and more.
Many families and individuals in Arizona face the same challenge when it comes to long-term health care: how to pay for the rising costs of care. In Arizona, Medicaid can help cover the long-term costs of nursing level care, including assisted living, nursing homes and even in-home residential care.
We had talked to a few other attorneys before hiring Jeremy at Jackson White. Jeremy was very upfront with us and told us he would do his best with my restitution issue, which I thought was taken care of 7 years ago. Flat rate was charged and was told if after 2 weeks they felt they couldn't help us, they would reimburse what wasn't used of the fee.
Under Arizona law, an Extreme DUI carries more serious consequences than a standard DUI. Since this is a no-tolerance state when it comes to driving drunk, law enforcement in Mesa is extremely strict about this issue. For your first Extreme DUI offense, you could receive a class 1 misdemeanor charge, have to pay high fines, and get your license suspended.

I had contacted Jackson White's office over a swim spa that was not assembled properly and was made with poor material. The secretary said it was something they handle and they'll have someone call me. Unfortunately I missed Mia's call. I called back multiple times and left messages for a week. I never heard back from them. If they won't take the case then they should have some courtesy to let me know instead of acting like their in high school.

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

Jackson white has served our family needs for several generations.
Most recently Ryan Hodges and many staff members helped us probate an estate. Everything was handled clearly and completely by Jackson White.
Jackson White also helped a family member qualify for ALTCS including a Miller Trust.
I've recommended Ryan Hodges and Jackson White Law to many people and recently received great feedback from a friend I referred.
I highly recommend Ryan Hodges and Jackson White Law.

My dad passed away in May of 2020 unexpectedly. He lived in Tucson,AZ and I live in Los Angeles. Ryan Hodges was my attorney for the probate. We communicated mostly through email but was available to talk on the phone if I needed to. My dad didn't have a will and he made the process go smooth. I had an unusual situation as I have a half brother with mental illness so Ryan helped me to understand how probate works in situations like this. I had a lot of anxiety in dealing with this and every time I had a question he would answer right away and ease my mind.

I live in Canada and needed a probate attorney in the US in order to close the sale of a property in AZ. Ryan K. Hodges was very quick and organized in advising what was required to make this happen. It Was great to deal with someone so knowledgeable and confident in their field.

Over the last 10 years I have had to assist with the care and financial matters of close relatives. In 2012, I needed to assume the guardianship and act as conservator for my paternal aunt. I found Jackson White attorneys that specialized in elderly care and would take work in Navajo County, Arizona. I had exceptional assistance, care, and advice.… So, in 2020 when my cousin passed away, I turned back to Jackson White.
The attorney assigned to me was Ryan Hodges. My cousin had a trust, but I was unable to find it. Mr. Hodges also tried the leads I gave him to locate this trust.

We were struggling with loss and with get through what seemed like an easy probate. Waisted money on hiring a paralegal that made so many errors. Ryan K. Hodges was always so politely, extremely professional and knowledgeable. I never had to wait on Ryan, most of the time he was waiting on me. He was great at trying to keep me on track. Hopefully I never need a probate attorney again but if I do I will call Ryan at Jackson White!

Ryan Hodges was very helpful and returned emails promptly. My initial cold call with Ryan was informative and trustworthy. He gave straight answers. It's the reason I chose him to represent my mother's estate.

I had spoke with another firm, in town, that wasted a long time getting my information, setting up a $75 consult fee that resulted in vague answers that were meant to scare me (slimy) into using their extremely overpriced fee for a simple estate.

My mother passed away in January leaving no will and a house in Buckeye, AZ. Since I live in California, I had no idea what I needed to do to settle her estate. I Googled probate attorneys and contacted 3 that I found. The first one charged $6500. The second didn't return my call at all. My third call, which should have been my first, was to Ryan Hodges at JacksonWhite. I explained my situation and he explained the process to me. He was very helpful and patient and answered my many questions I had throughout the process- and charged $3500. It's an ugly reality, but money does

This review is for Ryan Hodges and his probate services.

I am one of four siblings and one of my brothers died suddenly in Phoenix, AZ. I live in CA, have a brother in VA and another in NV. We were in complete shock when we got the news of our brother passing unexpectedly and two of us headed out to AZ to take care of putting our brother to rest and resolving his estate.

I found Ryan on AVVO and was impressed by the reviews. He was able to make time to meet us on the day we arrived in AZ (we were only in AZ for a short time). He was very intelligent, professional, competent, honest and trustworthy

I enjoyed working with Ryan. He did an excellent job both in communication and professionalism is handling the probate for my mother's estate. The fact that he got everything processed remotely due to Covid-19 is a testament to his thoroughness.

PLEASE SEEK LEGAL COUNSEL ELSEWHERE! They will be happy to take your savings and credit payment but it will leave you with nothing both financial and in family court. I was led to believe custody could be changed, signed documents and paid my $2500 deposit only to be convinced to pursue alternatives since once in place parenting time could not be changed. That leads us down a long road of continuous court, debt and non-specific court orders only to leave you "chasing the dream." They care NOTHING about history of case or individualization; you are a cash cow only to be slaughtered once

I wanted to write this for quite some time to thank this great law firm for their work on an issue for me a few months ago. Even though the issue did not get fully addressed I was impressed with their diligence and performance on the case. I was told from the start that this issue was impossible to predict and that my odds of winning were below 50% but still good in comparison to a lot of other cases that might go to court. in fact their candid transparent communication of the facts and perspective was exemplary and enabled me to understand and make informed decisions throughout the process.

I had a complex case of an annulment that had lasted for almost a year. I worked with two family attorneys and met some others for additional advice before coming to see Tim and Jon at the law firm. Jon then became my only reliable source of legal advice. Jon's very professional, knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated. Most importantly, he did what he promised to and would fight for his clients' best interests which is hard to find. The team is also very supportive and responsive. They step by step helped me out of the hard situation. "Thank you" is the least thing I can say

Ryan helped me all along the way while handling an Estate case. He was sure to check in with me making sure that I remembered to keep pursuing and getting my case settled. He had my best interest and was very honest, which I appreciated. I would recommend 100% and would use them again.

Simply put this is an excellent law firm. Their attorneys are absolutely 1st class and top notch and extremely knowledgeable and professional. When you have to find an attorney for whatever reason you need to have someone that you know you can trust. This is definitely a situation where you have to have someone that you can put your life into their hands and know that they will not let you down. I can tell you that this law firm is exactly that. Attorney Jeremy Geigle is probably one of the finest lawyers in the Phoenix area and I recommend Jeremy and Jackson White without hesitation. 5 stars.

Based on what I have seen, they are an unprofessional and unethical business doing things for the sake of excessive billing. If you wish to prolong conflict, and create discord and promote unhappiness, hire them.

I needed legal assistance with a difficult guardianship matter. I hired Jackson White because of their excellent reputation in elder law. My attorney Colton Johnston worked very closely with me. He was very responsive whenever I needed information and supportive with my family. His services were well worth the money and I was very satisfied with the results. Much thanks!

I want to say thank you to JacksonWhite law firm. I met with Adam about a month ago after receiving a civil ticket in Arizona. The judge wanted to trail me as a criminal ticket. Adam and his team were able to help me get it back to civil and attend driving school so I'm not receive any points on my record. If it wasn't for Adam and his team I don't know what I would've done. I tried to resolve this on my own but quickly learned that law and judge were not on my side and willing to help. Thank you again for all your hard work.

This is merely my personal opinion, but I would not recommend this law firm to anyone due to ethical reasons. The attorneys seemed to prolong unnecessary litigation when the contra party had expressed their desire to settle. It seems like these lawyers do what they do to make a living! This is just my opinion.

I have used this law firm two times. The first was to get my aging mother on the ALTCS program. Richard White and Jill Preston held my hand during the process. My mom is now in one of the nicest nursing homes in Phoenix.

The second time was when the real estate attorney, Dave Weed, drafted a lease agreements for one of my rental properties. He was very responsive and reasonably priced. He has a wonderful eye for detail - which is invaluable when looking at contract language.

Will be using this firm again.
