“The prevailing party in FHA litigation may be awarded costs and a reasonable attorney’s fee.” Oxford House-A v. City of Univ. City, 87 F.3d 1022, 1024 (8th Cir.1996) (citing 42 U.S.C. § 3613(c)(2)). Winter does not contest Quigley was a prevailing party; however, Winter suggests Quigley may not be entitled to attorney fees because she had a contingency fee agreement with her attorneys. Quigley’s attorney stated, “[W]e have agreed with [Quigley] ... that we would take a contingency fee amount, which is 33 1/3 [%], or what the court would grant us in statutorily granted attorney fees. That’s an either/or. We don’t get both.”
