 I use the "what would I recommend to my brother or
sister" test: would I confidently recommend that a close friend or relative
retain an inexperienced collaborative lawyer if they could retain someone
who had years of broad family law experience as well as collaborative
training?  No way. 

I think it depends very much on the facts of their case.

If they had several family owned businesses and there were health issues, and 
children, then id want someone with experience. If they had a house and no 
kids and good rapport with each other, I'd send them to whoever best fit their 
personalities and values.

 restorative justice “is concerned not so much with punishment as with 
correcting imbalances, restoring broken relationships — with healing, harmony 
and 
reconciliation.”
