Basically seven years of college courses and a year of internship.
It depends on the individual and not how many years they have been in the field. You can be a psychologist for 25 years and still not be reliable. A good reputation comes over time, and that varies from psychologist to psychologist.
To be a fully certified psychologist, you should expect to complete: 1) Four years undergraduate university/college training 2) Two years masters degree 3) Three to five years PhD 4) Successfull passing of certification exams Sometimes people can get psychologist positions with only a masters degree, but it is becoming uncommon.

Law school is not required to be a psychologist. You have to attend medical school for that.
7years
approximately five if you start from scratch.
it would take about four to five years.
Typically, a clinical psychologist has obtained a doctorate, and is licensed. It would take four years for the bachelor's degree, and an additional four years to obtain the doctorate with the appropriate specialization.
