The judgement was found through buy rx drugs without prescription a credit search. The lawyer has made no attempt to contact said person over the past 7 yrs. The interest continues to rise and they won’t settle or release so that said person can purchase a home. Do they have the right to just let the amount continue to get higher?

Depending on the state where you live, judgments can last up to 10 years (my state is one such state).
You can’t stop lawyer from pursing money owed to his client. Only courses of action would be for you to 1- offer to pay on creditor’s terms, 2-continue to not pay and wait out the next 3 years, 3- look for a mortgage lender whose underwriter will overlook that debt.
