Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

refund on down payment

I gave a lawyer partial down payment on a criminal case. All she has done is to postpone my hearing date, but she sent me a notice that the remaining 500 is due in two weeks or else she will withdraw and I have to appear for my next date. I dont have the remainder of her money, can I get my 400 back and represent myself or get a public defender??She hasn't appeared in court for me yet.And my husband was convicted on the charge anyway.(we had the same charge of posession for the same small amount of cocaine)I assumedI needed a lawyer because I work in the medical field and want 2 make sure my record stays clear.
