In any civil action against an offender for property damages resulting from a felony crime committed by the offender, the court may award a victim who prevails in the civil action reasonable attorney's fees and other costs of litigation; provided, there has been a felony conviction of the defendant for the crime which caused the damage. The court granting judgment in a civil action pursuant to the provisions of this section may reduce or limit the hardship exemption from garnishment provided in Section 1.1 of Title 31 of the Oklahoma Statutes, when limitation or reduction would be in the interests of justice.
