    Default Re: What Attorney Fees Can You Recover if You're Pro Se in Court

    Quote Quoting NewTexan

    ...So long story not so short, I feel I am in a good position legally and (somewhat) comfortable representing myself - but wondering if I, acting pro se, can rightfully ask to recover the legal fees that I incurred before he brought the suit against me...
    Short answer is NO on recovery of pre-suit attorney fees.

    Texas CPRC 38.001(8) allows prevailing party to recover attorney fees, but has qualifiers such that it may be unlikely you recover pre-suit fees.

    But this statute may come back to bite you if Plaintiff prevails on ANY of his claims
