Can I file a lien against the defendant's property?

If you choose to place a Judgment Lien against any individually owned real property of the defendant's following the award of a Judgment in your favor, you must obtain a certified copy of your Judgment from the Clerk of the Circuit Court and record it as a Judgment Lien. Fees for recording are set by statute and are subject to change by legislative action. Contact the Clerk of the Court in the county where the property is located for their current fees for recording a certified copy of a Judgment.
