Better off with a public defender

I had used this lawyer for a criminal case I had and it was a horrible decision. I was never informed of a court apperance until I was called by his office telling me to get to court asap, when there he told me id probably have to go to jail but not to worry he'll try to keep the bail low! - after g...etting into a personal argument he had with the prosecutor, I was put in cuffs and about to be incarcerated by the judge until I personally had to tell the judge I work full time and please give me a chance, luckily the judge understood and let me go. This lawyer CAME TO MY JOB to try and collect a payment that wasnt late at all or anything, informing coworkers about my case. When talking to him he was always very negative and pessimistic about my outcome in my verict. Long story short, I had to use a public defender who wasn't much more helpful but at least didnt charge me $4000.
