See the clerk of court to apply. Bear in mind the guidelines to qualify for a PD are significantly more stringent that simply the inability to afford an attorney. In other words, you will not automatically be appointed a PD just because you apply. If you don't apply, try finding a pro-bono legal service to help out.
