After an award is given in a judgement, the time for a company to reduce the amount is long past, and they can only drag their feet for so long. With the proper filing, the plaintiff can put a lien on the company's bank accounts, and in egregious cases can even walk up with a cop and start taking stuff from the company to satisfy the award (a "sheriff's sale").
You're right that the lawyer will probably get a good chunk of it, though.
