Not really enough information is given in the question. If the jury trial found in favor of the defendant on the matter of the lien, then the lien is legally null and void.

When a case is closed and the only money collected is less than the amount of judgment what happens?
Return to the court and request a judgment lien. It can be recorded in the land records and any real property owned by the defendant cannot be mortgaged or sold until the lien is paid. The judgment lien can also be used by the sheriff to seize any other personal property to satisfy the amount owed.Return to the court and request a judgment lien.

Can an individual place a lien on my car if it is paid for and I own it outright?
No. Only a court can issue a lien. You would need to sue the car owner in court for a debt and win a judgment. The court could then issue a judgment lien and the sheriff could seize the car to pay your debt. A judgment lien could also be used to take any other personal property to satisfy the lien and it could be recorded in the land records if the defendant owns real estate. In that case, the property could not be sold or mortgaged until the lien is paid.

Can you put a lien on property you own that someone stole?
sure...however the validity of the lien may come into question...or you can file an action in supreme court to overturn a conveyance or to assert fraudulent conveyanceClarificationYou cannot place a lien on anything by your own authority. You must obtain a judgment lien through a court process. That is not the way to regain property that someone took from you. You must sue the thief and the court will render a decision. If the decision is in your favor and the property is real property the court will restore the property to you. It will not issue a judgment lien unless the property is personal property and cannot be returned. In that case, you can record the judgment lien against the defendant and it will affect any real property owned by the defendant.

Can an attorney who has agreed to observe the terms of a doctor's lien for service settle said doctor's lien for less than the doctor's bill without prior authorization in writing?
If the doctor has legally given the attorney permission to act in her behalf in a legal proceeding, especially a settlement of a lien, then yes. If the settlement is reasonable considering the original costs, level of reduction, facts of the case including the plaintiff's ability to pay, and the degree to which the settlement conforms with industry standard, and assuming the attorney is acting in good faith and has not specifically been instructed regarding settlement amounts, yes -- they can in fact effect a reasonable settlement. Bear in mind that there's a presumption of good faith in the contract with the attorney, which works both ways. The attorney, upon observing the terms of the lien, may logically and ethically conclude that it's in their client's best interest to settle the lien. This can be due to any manner of factors including perception of failures in the original case that would weaken the decision to lien, the chance of bankruptcy on the plaintiff's behalf (thus rendering the lien null and void), and any other reasons that would weak the defendent's chances of recovering the most money in a reasonable time. The dependant's defenses to this would be malpractice, malfeasance, and incompetance, which in cases like this are very hard to prove absent specific instructions the attorney willfully violated.
