You are only eligible for a public defender if you are facing jail time as a possible sentence.  If jail is a possible sentence, you must be interviewed by the public defender to see if you qualify.  The public defender’s office will determine if your income and/or assets qualify you for their representation.  If your income and/or assets exceed the eligibility guidelines, you will not be represented by a public defender.  You may still hire your own lawyer.
