Will a lawyer settle on a judgment that is 4 years old and already included in a chapter 7 and released and remove a lien on your property and if so what should you offer?

The judgment and the lien may reflect two different debts.
Normally you cannot include a judgment in a bankrupcy or amend the amount to be paid since it is a court ordered payment to be made. You need to pay the court and get a paid receipt for the judgment.
The payment of the lien would be reflected in a release of the lien for that property.

How much of an effect will a judgment have on your credit if you already have it established?
An extremely negative effect. A judgment is very damaging to a person's credit. Especially if it is in the form of a garnishment or real property lien.

How do i protect my judgment against someone in bankruptcy?
If the judgment debtor is already in bankruptcy, there is nothing you can do. If the judgment is for a debt for which discharge is not allowed, it survives the bankruptcy. If no bankruptcy has been filed, you can try to attach or levy on some property of the debtor that has some value, or equity.

If a judgment was already on you Can someone raise the amount of the judgment and go after you?
A judgment collects interest for as long as it remains unsatisfied (paid). Likewise a judgment can be executed at any time before it expires against any non protected property belonging to the debtor. Most states allow judgments to be valid for 10-20 years and many are renewable, meaning they can last indefinitely.
Once you have a judgment filed how do you file a real property lien in Oklahoma?
That depends on the judgment, and type of original process. Guessing that you have a materalman's or mechanic's lien, you should just file a notice of Lien with the county clerk and send the required notices (Oklahoma Statute 42-142). You may check with a lawyer on this as most times a lien or its notice is not necessary if you already have a judgment, in most cases you then ask the court for an "Execution of Judgment" or "Foreclosure" to have the property seized and sold by the sheriff.
A contractor in the state of Michigan is court ordered to pay you 30000 He claims poverty to avoid payment Can you Lien property that he owns but has in the names of his minor children?
Since minor children cannot own property, the judgment will attach to the property. You already have a judgment, which constitutes a judgment lien, so you will not need to file an additional lien (in fact, liens are only for those who have not been paid for goods or services they have provided). See an attorney for more info (look in the phonebook for one who gives free consultations).
If you move to Massachusetts can your wages still be garnished for a repossession in Oklahoma?
Yes, but the creditor would have to sue in the debtor's state court in the county where the debtor resides and if awarded a judgment execute the writ under the laws of Massachusetts not Oklahoma. If the judgment creditor already holds a writ of judgment in Oklahoma they can file it as an abstract judgment against the debtor's real property without the necessity of court procedure.

How can a small business place a lien on a property for non-payment?
The small business must sue in court and obtain a judgment lien. The lien can then be recorded in the land records. The property cannot be sold or refinanced until the lien is paid. Any liens that have already been recorded against the property will take priority.
What can liens can be filed in Ohio for non payment of cleaning services provided?
The answer depends on whether you have filed a lawsuit and won on the debt yet or whether the work you performed in cleaning was in connection with the performance of a construction contract. If you already have a judgment, you may file a judgment lien. If you performed the work in connection with the completion of a construction contract, you will have mechanic's lien rights. If the work is just regular maintenance or office type cleaning, a mechanic's lien is not available. If you have a judgment and the person that you have the judgment against owns real property you can file the judgment lien against the real property they own, whether or not it is the property that you improved. This is not true with a mechanic's lien, you can only lien the property you worked on. I have attached some articles that I have written for the Builders Exchange Magazine on Mechanic's liens that you may find helpful.
