Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Felony domestic violence and cannot afford an attorney

my brother has been charged with felony domestic violence and is facing 2 yrs in prison. We cannot afford an attorney and we were told that an appointed attorney would not make a difference and more than likely go to jail. What can we do?
