    (Lawyer) cost to file lien

    What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland

    I recently won a civil case against my former land lady for the amount of $717
    I received a letter stating I can file a lien against her property and it did not mention she had a right to appeal (she didn't show for the hearing).

    I started looking into the process and wanted to know what the average lawyer fee would be to file the lien.

    ThanksWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

    You don’t need to file a specific lien. Nor do you necessary require the services of an attorney. All that is required is to record a certified copy of the judgment, which is no big deal!

    Maryland Code Title 11 Judgments Section 11-402 “Judgment constitutes lien”

    (b) Judgment of court of original entry.- If indexed and recorded as prescribed by the Maryland Rules, a money judgment of a court constitutes a lien to the amount and from the date of the judgment on the judgment debtor's interest in land located in the county in which the judgment was rendered except a lease from year to year or for a term of not more than five years and not renewable.
