Fees.

action for threefold the actual damages sustained
and, in any such action, is entitled to minimum
damages in the amount of $200, and reasonable
attorney's fees and court costs in the trial and
appellate courts. Before filing an action for
damages under this section, the person claiming
injury must make a written demand for $200 or the
treble damage amount of the person liable for
damages under this section. If the person to whom a
written demand is made complies with such demand
within 30 days after receipt of the demand, that
person shall be given a written release from further
civil liability for the specific act of theft or
exploitation by the person making the written
demand. Any person who has a cause of action under
this section may recover the damages allowed under
this section from the parents or legal guardian of
any unemancipated minor who lives with his or her
parents or legal guardian and who is liable for
damages under this section. Punitive damages may not
be awarded under this section. The defendant is
entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and
court costs in the trial and appellate courts upon a
finding that the claimant raised a claim that was
without substantial fact or legal support. In
awarding attorney's fees and costs under this
section, the court may not consider the ability of
the opposing party to pay such fees and costs. This
section does not limit any right to recover
attorney's fees or costs provided under any other
law.
