More details to this question:
I read about burden of proof. I have lots of proof. I need this car titled. Defendant lied under oath. I wish I could show the judge this proof I have. Her nephew was not incarcerated at the time of sale. I recognise him. His handwriting matches my receipt. My summons I never said she loaned him car to use. She gave him the car and title. I asked for nephews name. No answer. Also when he was in jail no answer. What kind of lawyer do I need? Criminal law lawyer? Or civil?

If you proceed with trying to reopen a civil case, you need a civil attorney. If you want the defendant prosecuted for perjury, go to he police and local prosecuting attorney. The government prosecutes criminal cases; private criminal attonreys defend those accused of crimes. You can do both, but you will have a very hard time succeeding in either.
