Do we have to pay their attorney fees in ga.? this went on for 3 yrs.if so do we get a chance to defend ourselves or can they just put a lien on our property and freeze up our money.

Re: lawsuit

you should consult an attorney to see if there is any basis for an appeal, and if you still have time to do so.

Re: lawsuit

Your opportunity to defend yourselves occurred in the proceeding that resulted in the unfavorable summary judgment. If you declined to appeal that summary judgment, you lostthe opportunity to change the outcome. Yes, a judgment can be converted into a lien against any property you own, personal and/or real property.
