    That's not a citation to a statute. Either find the statute citation on the documents you received or look it up here.

    Petition for a court-appointed lawyer through the court where you are being prosecuted. If you ask, they should be able to provide you with a form. At some point, there will likely be an offered plea bargain, which may include a sentence deal pertaining to probation.

    You will have to fill out a document to petition for a court-appointed lawyer.
