You have to approach legal aid with proof of your low/ no income and they will assist you with a lawyer to defend you.
Legal Aid is available to all accused unable to engage their own advocate.
You can apply to the Court is which your case is pending for providing you with Legal Aid. You can also approach Legal Aid Committee, which is generally located in the District Court Building
