Public Defender

hi, i am 20 years old and my parents still claim me. i am wondering the guidelines for qualifying for a public defender. when i fill out the papers to see if i qualify, do they take into account my parents income too? or do they just look at my personal income to decide if i qualify for a public defender? thanks
