Yes it can. Usually in the judgment itself it will state the interest rate wich applies.
That answer will vary from state to state. In California, you can collect 10% per year on the oustanding balance. You take 10% of the outstanding judgment and divided that number by 365 to obtain the daily rate of interest. Multiply the number of days since the entry of judgment. Payments are applied to interest first and then to the principle. The interest is not capitalized.

The lawyer doesn't charge interest on a judgment.Once the creditor wins a lawsuit and the court issues a judgment lien, the creditor is legally entitled to interest from the time the judgment is issued until it is paid. The debt can grow quickly. In Massachusetts the interest rate is 12%.
