Court of Appeals of Wisconsin.

Opinion Filed March 6, 2012.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

On behalf of the defendant-appellant, the cause was submitted on the brief of Eric L. Crandall of Crandall Law Offices of New Richmond.

On behalf of the plaintiff-respondent, the cause was submitted on the brief of Lisa M. Lawless of Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek, S.C. of Milwaukee.

Before CURLEY, P.J., FINE and KESSLER, JJ.


KESSLER, J.

¶ 1 London Woodard appeals an order of the circuit court denying her motion for attorney's fees and costs. Woodard contends that because she was a "prevailing party" in her litigation with Credit Acceptance Corporation (Credit Acceptance), she is entitled to attorney's fees and costs under the Wisconsin Consumer Act (the WCA). Because Credit Acceptance has not been found to have violated the WCA, we affirm the circuit court.
