Experience matters in all professions, but especially the law, where so much depends on human decision-making. Knowing how decisions are likely to be made by judges; knowing how mediators work; knowing how people respond under pressure; knowing how the law is actually applied in practice. This is what experience provides. Make sure you retain a lawyer who has enough experience for the job.
