I'm sorry to say that your only real alternative is to retain your own lawyer. As a Former Deputy District Attorney with the County of Los Angeles, I have seen that PD's and court appointed attorneys, are over worked and don't have the time nor inclination to fight. I advise calling an experienced criminal defense firm at once. We offer free consultations so you have nothing to lose. I wish you well.....David Wallin

The attorney does not make decisions for you. His duty is to provide possible defense, the elements of the crime you are accused of committing. Information on possible sentencing options.
