Yes indeed. If you owe attorney fees the attorney can sue you in court. If successful, a judgment lien will be issued by the court. That judgment lien can be recorded in the land records against your property. Lawsuits for unpaid attorney's fees are not uncommon.
If you owe the attorney a fee you should try to work out a payments plan and make the payments regularly. Be sure to make it a plan you can live with. Most attorneys would rather work things out with their clients than sue them. Just like everyone else they just wanted to get paid for the work they've done.
Most states have a system for attorney fee disputes to be resolved through some form of mediation or arbitration. If you are contesting the fees, you should contact your local bar association to find out how to mediate your dispute.

∙ 16y agoNo a person can not file a jugement or a lien against you!!!! unless you signed an aggremen that you would pay them back in a certain time or etc. if not then your free and their just retarted! because a jugde would never wast his time with an agument of "he owes me she owes me".. BECAUSE anyone can say that the J.Lo (or someone famous) owe's them money but there's no proff!!
The answer above misses some points. There CAN be a verbal contract to pay something, and a person can sue to enforce such a contract. One good example is a doctor bill. You can go to the doctor, not sign anything, and yet you can owe him, say, 600.00 for his work. At trial, the judge will have to decide who is telling the truth, and who is lying (or perhaps confused.) Things that help prove a verbal contract are partial payments made on the loan, or maybe a letter that says "sorry I missed the payment this month", etc. Of course you are always better off to get a person to sign a Note that shows you have loaned him , say, 4000.00,
and he agrees to pay it back at x.xx per month, etc. IF someone gets a judgment against you, then they can record a lien on any property you own in a given county (in California.)

Is there a fee to get a court date to stop child support?
I don't believe any jurisdiction has a fee specifically to get a court date. There are lots of other fees, though (the court itself has filing fees you have to pay in order to file papers with the court), and of course you'll probably have to pay fees to a lawyer to get those papers drawn up in the first place. As with all legal matters, you really need to get a lawyer rather than trying to do this yourself.

No. In order to place a lien against someone's property a valid court order has to have been granted.

You will pay the fees or you will face legal actions and more fees in the attempt to collect the debt. Your best course of action is to pay the storage fees for your personal property--the speakers--and avoid accruing greater debt.
