I stand by my original response.
I have had great collaborative cases with "newbies" (I did not give them that
name) and seasoned Counsel! I have had horrible cases (but still successfully
completed) with seasoned Counsel as well. After about 45 Collaborative cases
in the last 7 years, I am just as happy to sit across from a well trained
"Newbie" who has embraced collaborative. As long as they have some experience
in Family Law (does not have to be much) you can make the collaborative process
successful.
Let's remember folks...in Collaborative while we are representing our clients,
we are not trying to "take advantage" of inexperience on the other side!!!
That's for those old school litigators!!!
I think this would make a great topic for San Diego and look forward to
continuing the conversation in October!!

A young and energetic collaborator that brings great negotiation energy
and skill to the table, and brings about an agreement, but that
agreement isn't backed up by solid legal advice, has delivered an
inferior product that might be set asunder by someone with bargain
remorse later.
