Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

I have a court date on today for petit larsony, I was given a month to find a lawyer to represent me because i'm "too rich" for a public attorney. However, I personally cannot afford one by myself and I want to know what will probably happen when I shop up without a lawyer. I'm really frightened.
