Was there clear and obvious evidence of the lies, or was it largely your testimony?

If there was clear and obvious evidence of the lies then you can submit a complaint to the bar (or whatever the disciplinary body is for lawyers in your state). The judge is NOT actually the one with the authority to enforce these professional obligations.

The judge doesn't enforce professional obligations but absolutely enforces perjury. Of course the real question is why was the lawyer testifying at all?
It doesn't sound like the lawyer was testifying? They can certainly lie in their presentation of the case, during summing up, etc.
