I have less than a week now to raise the $3500 my lawyer wants to defend me or I walk into court with no representation. I am terrified that if I do not have a lawyer on October 15th, 2018 when I go back to court that I will wind up getting convicted of a crime I am innocent of, all because I legally defended myself.

If there is anything whatsoever you can do to help PLEASE PLEASE help. I do not deserve to go to prison or have a felony record which is what will likely happen if I don't get my lawyer paid in time. For those wondering why I don't have the money read below:
So a month before my arrest I bought a vehicle, a 2006 Hummer H3 because my old van just wasn't worth putting any more money into. I had saved up $6,000 of the $9200 I paid for the vehicle but had to borrow the other $3200 from my employer. At the time of my arrest I still owed my boss $1200 on that. Then I because of the arrest he had to spend $1,000 to bond me out of jail and another $800 to get my semi truck out of jail (impound). Leaving me owing him a total of $3,000.
To make matters worse, because the police lied and said I lived in Illinois to get Felony Review to tell them to charge me with a felony I am not allowed to leave the state of Illinois. Which means my pay has been cut more than in half since I can only run a couple little short loads a week within the state. So all my pay is going to pay back my boss right now. I still owe him as of today $1400; that's the $1000 bond and $400 on the Impound Fee. When I get paid next Friday I will still owe him probably about $800 and have to go to court the following Monday....so there is no time for me to come up with the money from working. Yes I have a very nice boss but asking him for another $3500 right now might cost me my job and my place to live and then I still wouldn't have a lawyer.

I hope you can get things sorted out. You might want to check into free legal aid. Most states have legal aid that you can at least go in and get some basis of how to mount your defense. Don't pay some lawyer $300 / hour. NEVER fully trust a lawyer. Also remember Judges are just lawyers how decided to try to be a judge. They can't be trusted either.
Good luck

Yeah I make too much money to qualify for legal aid or a public defender and after two times in court already and not even being allowed to speak I have learned that Judges in Chicago HATE "jail house lawyers" or anyone trying to "represent themselves". If I go to court again without a lawyer I will almost certainly get convicted, go to prison and have a felony record.

Yeah the run a racket. They act like if you represent yourself that you didn't go through the proper steps to be in their dumb club. It is ridiculous. I had a frivilous lawsuit filed against me in Texas so I represented myself Pro Se and then filed a lawsuit against the morons in Arizona and even added the Lawyer who was representing the scammers and he tried to say I couldn't do that. I said...... I just did.....you can either represent yourself here in Arizona or hire an Arizona lawyer because you aren't licensed to practice law as a lawyer here.
I hope you can get some help from a reasonable lawyer. No one would help me with my situation when I had it and I had to spend all my time studying legal procedure in Texas and Arizona. It wasn't fun.
