This is listed under real estate so I am assuming here that this is about property taxes and that the agreement was with the county tax assessor's office, correct? Is this attorney an attorney for the county? Is it a private attorney that they hired to go after you? Generally they foreclose on the tax lien after a judgement is rendered. But did you agree with the county before the matter went in to suit? You need to go down to the office and speak with whom ever you made the deal with asap. And I might speak with an attorney to have him or her write a very strongly worded letter to the county and this attorney regarding the measures you will take should he or she attempt to file a judgement with an agreement already in place. Someone needs to help you figure out the time line here. Good luck.
