A public defender IS an attorney. If you can afford a private attorney, you will not qualify for a public defender.

10 grams and scales is likely all they need to make a case for sales. Anyone knowledgeable in the ways of the drug world can make a solid case for possession for sale based upon the amount you had in your possession as well as the scales - two indicia of sales.

Consult an attorney ASAP. Perhaps your state has a diversion program for possession ... if you get lucky, maybe your attorney can get it dropped to simple possession and thus make you eligible for a diversion program.
