Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Florida

Fraud and bankruptcy

a general contractor was found guilty of filing a fraudulent lien on the residence of a customer when they did not pay the final draw due to the contractor. The contractor filed the lien, on the form used for the lien, it asked for ''anticipated collection cost''. Come to find out, a lien can only be filed for the exact amount of $ owed. Jury finds contractor guilty. Is this a type of fraud that cannot be discharged on chapter 7 bankruptcy. HELP! They dont deserve any $...they want their judgement and attorney fees of almost $70,000.00. Can bankruptcy help? Thank you.
