Re: Criminal Law
If you do not have an income, you should call the public defenders office in the county where you were charged. They'll go over some financial guidelines with you. If you make less than a certain amount, the public defenders office will be appointed to represent you.
If the PD's office tells you that you make to much ask if they have a marginal program-some kind of list of attorney's that are willing to take the case at a reduced fee.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Go apply for a public defender in the county where the charges are filed.
