How can one get good legal representation when poor?

Answer:

It is difficult. See this is a huge flaw in the system...the court will appoint you a state defender but they are usually not top notch lawyers..cause why is a top notch lawyer going to work for a govt salary when he/she could make ten times that in private practice...
