You wouldn’t want to have major surgery performed by an inexperienced surgeon. Why would you want to have an inexperienced attorney represent you in your divorce?
Don’t assume that just because your attorney looks older that he is experienced. In the day of evening law schools, there are many attorneys for whom law is a second career. An attorney that has nothing to hide will welcome questions such as “When did you pass the bar?” and “How many years have you been practicing as an attorney?”. If the attorney doesn’t give you a satisfactory answer, look elsewhere.
