Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:00:30 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/can-i-sue-for-attorney-fees---167003.html I recently won my appeal with the City of Brentwood (code enforcement) over the location of a fence on my property. I had legal representation at the hearing which cost me around $1,200.00. I understand that I can not sue for "legal fees" in small claims court. Can I sue for "Damages" and include the $1200.00 as damages? I would also like to include Defamation of Character (homophobic comments made to neighbors) and Harrassment (continuous calls to code enforcement). I did nothing wrong and it cost me $1200.00 (so far) to prove it. How would I present this to a small claims judge in writing?
