Lawyer · Educator · Founder
Michelle Martin is a lawyer and legal educator on a mission to make legal life easier. After years inside courtrooms and law offices, she saw the same thing over and over: families weren't struggling because the law was impossible — they were struggling because no one had ever explained it to them clearly.
So she built PrettyProBae — a modern learning platform that treats families like capable adults, not case files.

One thing became clear...
PrettyProBae was born from that realization.
