Avoid a trial with this lawyer. Many known instances of accepting trial-bound cases and withdrawing just before trial. You are faced with finding the money to pay another attorney, for which necessity does not have the sympathy of your residing judge. If you cannot find the money, you are in a worse ...situation by either a court-appointed attorney who does not care about your case, or a public defender... She is unprepared and pretends to do "research" into the intricacies of your case. Web searches with printouts you could have done; repeated verbal sessions of the events leading up to your arrest constitutes billable hours-- record yourself and give her the CD. Document each and every time you meet, and how long you are actually in her company going over the case. A "flat fee" still requires a detailed account of the counsel provided-- ask for it, and demand it.
