In most instances, each party pays for its own attorney fees and costs. However, there are exceptions. In many credit card and other credit contracts, there is a provision for attorney fees. Also, in other cases where the plaintiff wins, eg - employment and civil rights cases, the defendant pays if the plaintiff is successful. Therefore, more infomration is needed about your case.
