Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Can someone sue a disabled person on SSI?

I am a disabled individual on SSI. I want to find out if someone can sue me for attorney fees. And if the answer is yes, can a judgment be attached to my SSI monthly check?

You didn't pay your lawyer? Shame on you. But your SSI is exempt from a judgment.
