It's literally the case. Judges and juries look more favourably upon people who are patient and give chances to others before going to court. Lawyers know this and prefer clients who understand it, especially ones who document the process as KC is doing.

As many as practical, obviously. Going to court is meant to be a last resort, not a first resort, for settling a dispute. Treating it as such by giving chances to resolve matters before then improves how lawyers and judges see your case which improves your chance of success.

Three months of repeated trying to “Work if out” looks better in court than one month of “Trying to work it out.” Documenting that you followed all processes correctly also improves the chances.

Exactly. “I gave the guy a second to fix the fence” versus giving a day, a week, a month before suing him. Judges prefer cases get settled before reaching them. Giving chances for settlement improves the odds of everyone getting something they can live with.

Seeing as you don’t understand what a last resort is, should you be throwing accusations of stupidity around? Especially when you again miss the answer I already gave: as long as practical. There is NO hard limit, upper or lower, short of statute of limitations.

Going to court isn't something to do lightly. And I don't have the information. You don't either. That's why my answer was "as long as practical". It's an elastic range, obvious to everyone but you, it seems.
