Ralph J. Isackson Phone: 989.893.3518 Practice Areas: Estate and trust administration, estate planning, real estate transactions, general business transactions, probate litigation When he served as associate editor of the Michigan Law Review in his 20s, it was clear that Ralph Isackson had a bright future ahead of him. Ralph was admitted to the Michigan bar in July 1949. Today, 57 years later, Ralph is considered one of the legal sages of Bay County. His legal expertise covers a broad scope, although Ralph tends to concentrate on estate planning, estate and trust administration, and real estate and business transactions (primarily buying and selling businesses). Over the years, he has been involved in just about every type of situation and transaction imaginable, so he knows the ins and outs of reaching positive solutions effectively and efficiently. “I strive to achieve each client’s goal without overreaching, without being unfair in any way,” says Ralph. “You don’t have to go for the jugular to attain a positive outcome. We avoid litigation whenever possible, channeling our energy instead into reaching mutually agreeable terms.” To his colleagues, Ralph is a “lawyer’s lawyer,” a trusted advisor on whom they rely for knowledge, insight and encouragement. His tenacity and integrity inspire them; his enviable track record motivates them. To his community, he is and always has been a Bay City boy, even though he could have chosen to practice with any large law firm in the country. “I tried the big city, but I couldn’t stand the driving! I realized then I was a small-town boy; I had to come home to Bay City.” And home now is where he has practiced with Lambert, Leser, Isackson, Cook & Giunta for the past four years, and where he plans to practice for many more. (Prior to 2002, Ralph was a partner in the law firms of Braun Kendrick Finkbeiner, and Isackson Neering and Quinn, in Bay City.)
