What exactly are you charged with? What is the penalty range? Is is a felony or misdemeanor? Only the judge can grant the motion, if filed, to allow the PD to withdraw. Be at that hearing to object to their motion and advise the court that you do not want to represent yourself without counsel.

I will clarify my situtation, I am on public assistance. I have only 46 dollars in the bank. My house is in foreclosure but the public defender at this late date is considering this as an asset. The public defender pushed the case off twice for discovey request. Now they sent a letter withdrawing representation. Can the judge make me respresent myself?
