Uh, you don't have to have a public defender if you don't want one.

i cant afford a private attorney

Then you can either have the public defender or represent yourself. Firing one "three times" (by clicking your heels? ) does not grant you special access to a private attorney. The judge has to approve your termination of counsel, and unless you come up with a good reason, it ain't gonna happen!

This someone is not correct. If you want a private attorney, you would have to pay him. Sorry.
