Whether you must pay their attorneys' fees depends on what they are taking you to court for. If, for instance they are suing on a note, most notes have a "loser pays" provision. Some statutes have a similar loser pays provision. In almost all events, the loser must pay the winner's "taxable costs," which are defined by statute, rule, and case law.
