Yes. Paying the lawyer is your problem. You get no write off for legal fees. Unless the judgment is against someone else and the judgment specifies the losing party pay all attorneys' fees.
The above is a somewhat bizarre explanation of a type I've never heard of.
First certainly NOT all and in fact many if not most judgments are not taxable.
It depends on many factors like what the judgment is for (payment to compensate you for a loss you had caused by somene is almost never taxable for example, but an amount added on as a punitve punishment to that person for the loss may well be. Likewise, if you already deducted the loss, then this payment becomes taxable. Or if it compensates you more than you actually lost. Many, many factors.
Legal costs are also normally deductible but can be situation driven, and even may be just like any other business cost in many circumstances, essentially requiring you have income to use it against or be above threshold percents.
