Civil Rights Law ADA
  All States      
Is it possible to recover attorney’s fees?

Yes. A prevailing party -- even one who is partially successful -- generally may ask the court to award reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation in a civil rights lawsuit. The laws’ purpose in allowing awards of attorneys fees is to encourage the enforcement of civil rights laws. There is no provision for paying attorney’s fees for unsuccessful civil rights litigants.
