Section 213.111.2 authorizes a court to award "reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing party." A prevailing party is one that succeeds on any significant issue in the litigation which achieved some of the benefit the parties sought in bringing suit. Where a plaintiff has prevailed in an action under the MHRA, the court should award attorneys' fees unless special circumstances would render such an award unjust. This includes fees incurred on appeal from the trial court's judgment.
