Oh yeah, our clients are usually court appointed.  It's no longer acceptable 
in Florida to use the public defender's office for capital crimes, as they are 
usually right out of law school, and the defendant doesn't get a fair trial.  
So, being an experienced law firm, we qualified to be appointed as special 
public defender on capital cases.  That's where the bulk of our business comes 
from.  The other is from the wife, girlfriend or mother (it's always the woman) 
of the defendant, who mortgages the house to the hilt to pay the defendant's 
legal fees.  Sometimes, we actually get a client with money, but very rarely.
