Re: legal fees
You can recover attorney fees if there is a specific statute that allows it for your situation of if the lawsuit is persuant to a contract that allows attorney fees. As far as the specific statute is concerned, there are a number of them that could apply. I would suggest consulting with your attorney on that.
