Profile
Laurie Mack-Wagner is a founding shareholder of Mack & Santana Law Offices, P.C., in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Laurie focuses on complex civil litigation with a primary emphasis on cases involving family law, divorce and related causes of action. She is also a qualified mediator under Rule 114, which provides a cost-effective option for those parties looking for a neutral professional to assist them with resolving their legal disputes themselves through agreement.
Laurie received her bachelor's degree in 1991 from Minnesota State University-Mankato, graduating summa cum laude and first in her class of almost 4,000. She then earned her Juris Doctor from Florida State University College of Law in 1994, graduating with highest honors and in the top 5 percent of her class.
Laurie began her legal career at the Florida offices of Carlton Fields before joining Barranco Kircher, & Vogelsang, P.A., a Miami-based, boutique litigation firm handling massive family law cases with marital estates averaging several million dollars. In 2000, Laurie returned to Minnesota where she has since focused exclusively on family law matters and related civil litigation.
Beginning in 2005 and every year since, Laurie has also been included in Minnesota Law & Politics magazine's "Who's Who in Family Law" listings.
