Depends on the lawyer.

In my experience the answer is a flat out No. Lawyers do not always insist on going to court. In fact, it is often in the best interests of the client to avoid litigation, or to settle a dispute out of court. When a dispute arises, lawyers use a variety of strategies to resolve the dispute without going to court. These strategies may involve negotiation and mediation. Negotiation involves working with the other party to reach a mutually acceptable agreement, while mediation involves having a neutral third-party assist the parties in reaching an agreement.

In some cases, the legal process itself offers alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, such as arbitration or summary judgment. These options provide a less costly, less time-consuming alternative to going to court. Additionally, many lawyers have experience with alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, such as collaborative law, which allows the parties to work together to create a mutually acceptable agreement.

TLDR: while some lawyers may suggest going to court if they believe it is the best course of action, they are also aware of the importance of exploring other avenues of dispute resolution. It is ultimately up to the client to decide whether to pursue a case in court or explore other options.
