Julie's Approach & Philosophy
Julie has spent over twenty-five years building the unique skills necessary to guide her clients through the maze of relationship challenges whether pre-marital, marital, divorce or cohabitation. She is a master at crafting resolutions that are tailored to your individual needs instead of just following how things are traditionally done. Her approach allows her to stay neutral, see all the pieces of your mediation puzzle and make connections others just cannot see.
Julie believes that all relationships have the potential to be contentious no matter. It is the mediator’s job to manage the conflict and reduce it so people are able to make rational and reasonable decisions to move forward. She does not take on your emotions. Instead, she finds all the parts of your situation, makes connections and helps people generate options for resolving the conflict.
As a former social services worker, Julie appreciates clients’ needs for solid communication, strong advocacy, emotional support and efficient conflict management. All driving principles of her approach and team work ethics.
Experience, Qualifications & Recognitions
Julie has a unique ability to recognize what pieces need to be woven together and how to weave them to get a good resolution for all involved. That comes from over 20 years of exclusive family law experience working on more than 1,800 client cases and matters. She especially enjoys working with complex financial, business and property issues.
In 2010, Julie was certified as a Family Law Legal Specialist (CLS-F*) by The State Bar of California, Board of Legal Specialization. Her path has included graduating Magna Cum Laude from California Western School of Law in 1996 and joining the firm in 1997 as an associate attorney, becoming partner in 2006. Among her academic achievements, Ms. Mack received several American Jurisprudence Awards in law school and is a published writer.
Julie is a member of the San Diego Family Law Bar Association, North County Bar Association, San Diego Collaborative Practice Group, North County Family Law Specialist Group, San Diego Super Lawyers from 2011-2019, and Southern California Super Lawyers in 2014. She was awarded as one of the Top 10 Family Law Attorneys by the San Diego Daily Transcript. In addition, Julie was awarded as the Best of North County Family Law Attorney in the 2018 North Coast Reader’s poll.
Giving Back to Community
This altruistic spirit is also evident in Julie, who has volunteered at the YWCA legal clinic and Legal Aid during her years in law school where she gained valuable experience working with domestic violence victims. Mack combines her background in social work with her career as a family lawyer. “I have the best of both worlds here,” says Mack. “I get to work on a one-on-one basis with my clients, so I actually see my work pay off with tangible results.”
