Unfortunately you generally can get court appointed/public defender or retain an attorney you choose. The standard is not extremely high and most court appointed attorneys and public defenders meet that minimum level. But if you're not happy you would likely need to hire an attorney. If that's not an option most judges I see will not appoint different counsel because complaints are high in that area. Now if there's an established record of legitimate concern that's different... failing to keep client reasonably updated about case, not communicating at all, not doing a bond hearing when client wants one, not filing discovery motions etc....
