Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
I can't speak to Michigan law specifically, but the general rule in the US is that, absent a contractual provision or statute authorizing an award of attorneys' fees to the prevailing party, each party pays its own. You say there was no contractual provision, and you do not seem to allege a claim under any statute which authorizes the recovery of attorneys' fees, so it does not seem as if you can recover them.
