Pro Se University PS/ Expert Bio
Byline
Marie White is Founder and CEO of Pro Se University PS, www.ProSeUniversity.com. After witnessing many people represent themselves in a family law case, Marie realized that most of these people made mistakes in the process. This is not because they are not smart, but because the process is complex and confusing. Marie is changing this by offering affordable, explanatory services to guide people through common family law issues.
Full Bio
Marie White, Founder and CEO of Pro Se University PS, has been a solo-practicing lawyer for the past 18 years, focusing almost exclusively on family law. Throughout her career, she has seen an unmet need in her practice area for people who are not able to hire an attorney. While family law procedures are very simple for an experienced attorney, they are significant hurdles for others, and Marie has noticed that several hours of affordable attorney support prevents people from making painful errors that deeply affect the outcome of their legal proceeding and their lives. This is why she started Pro Se University.
Marie first settled in Seattle because it was a happy medium between her hometown of Glennallen, Alaska, and the Los Angeles area, where she graduated from Pepperdine University School of Law. She loved the water and how friendly and non-judgemental she found the people of Seattle to be, and she quickly realized and appreciated how open King County's court system is to adapt to changing family patterns. Marie is proud that our court system is so focused on children and making sure that they are supported and stable.
Marie's goal through Pro Se University is to provide pro se parties with the mindset, information, and understanding they need to get through their family law case. Family law issues can be intensely emotional and painful, and legal research is scary and overwhelming. By breaking family law issues into small steps and detailed instruction, Marie hopes to make this process more successful and focused for individuals in King County.
