Lawyer recommendations for non-payment of hard money loan

Hello, I entered into a contractual relationship with an Atlanta-based company I met on these forums to loan them money to do two Atlanta flips. The deadlines came and went and they didn't pay me back my capital or profit. I got a default judgement against them and now I need to collect.

Any recommendations for a lawyer? Thanks!

The standard way to JV / lend funds for a flip is that the lender gets a 1st security deed. You can call any local real estate attorney to file for foreclosure on your 1st lien.
