Ian Mitchell

Attorney

Diligent representation rooted in a wealth of professional experience

“I was a real estate agent before becoming a lawyer.  I never realized while working as a realtor that I was learning to effectively serve future law clients.  Estate planning often involves working with real estate assets and concepts.  So, the many transactions I managed as a realtor provide a truly valuable experience base that enhances my current law practice.  

Estate plans and other legal matters, like real estate transactions, often require great patience and perseverance from both clients and the professionals who guide them.  I am fortunate to have acquired those critical professional traits during my real estate career – they are a solid foundation for the thoughtful, careful advocacy that I provide on behalf of my law clients today.”

A long-time resident of Northern Michigan, Ian Mitchell staffs Bassett Murray Law Group’s Petoskey office.  As a graduate of the University of Michigan, and a cum laude graduate of the Michigan State University College of Law, Ian took up law as a second career in 2008.  He practiced as a solo attorney for nearly 15 years before joining Bassett Murray.  Ian focuses his law practice on estate planning and real estate transactions.  Ian’s preparation for legal practice included a decade’s work as a real estate agent.  He also served as an intern to the Honorable Charles Johnson at the 57th Circuit Court in Emmet County (Petoskey), and as a clerk in the Law Offices of Nancy Burger (Ann Arbor).  When not helping law clients, Ian goes skiing and boating with friends and family, studies jazz piano, and hides away at his cabin in the Upper Peninsula.
