Police say Jerry Curry, 53, was conscious and breathing as he arrived at a hospital for treatment.
He was shot several times in the upper body by a client. The shooter is in custody, while Curry is in stable condition.
MSNBC reported that the client yelled, "You took my money. That's what you get," as he shot at the lawyer.
He shot a small handgun as the lawyer tried to hide behind a tree.
An off-duty deputy then jumped on the shooter about 10 seconds after the shooting, and was joined by courthouse security personnel in subduing the shooter.
The lawyer then staggered around the shooting scene before collapsing.
The shooting occurred as a phalanx of camera crews were outside the courthouse covering the Blake case.
