In some circumstances, a judgment in a foreign jurisdiction shall be enforced in FL. From the limited facts, in this case, the lawyer enforcing such judgment may be able to attach a lien to property you own, including any bank account of yours. Without more facts it's difficult to give you a more definitive answer.
