Unless the witness told the lie from the witness stand during trial while under oath (which would be perjury), nothing would happen. It is not against the law to lie to an attorney - UNLESS - the attorney was appointed to fulfill some judicial or court function such as Arbitration or Mediation. In that case the attorney would be acting in the courts stead, and false testimony/statements would be considered the same as lying to the court.
