If you are charged with a crime that could result in a loss of liberty, the court will appoint a public defender for you if you can't afford to hire a lawyer. You don't "find" the public defender yourself; the court will appoint one. But you can get information about Brooklyn Defender Services at the first related link below.
I found this at the second related link below, which also has links to information about criminal procedure (see the Self Help and Legal Research category) and other public defender offices (see the Legal Aid and Lawyer Referral category).

Can you replace public defender in California?
In most states, you must petition the court if you want to change your public defender. That's because the court appoints the public defender, so only the court can make a change. That's true in California if your public defender is a court-appointed lawyer and not a member of the Public Defender's Office for your county. But in some California counties with large Public Defender's Offices, the office may let you switch lawyers. Napa County is an example; click the first related link and look for the answer to the question "I don't like my Deputy Public Defender. How do I get a new one?" You will have to check with your county's Public Defender Office. You can find their contact information at the second related link; just scroll down to your county and look for the "Public Defender" link.

You may be assigned a Public Defender in California at different times. If you are being questioned by police, you can request an attorney at that time even if you have not been charged. At your first court appearance - called an arraignment - you will be assigned a Public Defender if you don't already have one and can't afford to hire a lawyer. But you can also contact the Public Defender's Office before your arraignment. Bear in mind that the first Public Defender you speak with may not represent you at all phases of your case. The Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office has a great description of its procedures in the first related link below, but the procedure may be different in different counties.

I find it unlikely that a public defender would tell someone that. But, if they did tell her that, they were very, very wrong. Of course, she can certainly file for divorce.

I found this at the second related link, which has links to Public Defender offices in several counties; you can call those offices and ask about their local procedures.
