I'd say these charges sound like they will lead to some serious jail time, for someone convicted of all of them. It's hard to say more, without knowing a lot more of the details of the crimes, and any prior record the person might have.
The attorney's skill and experience usually have more effect on the result, than whether the attorney is privately paid or a public defender. Although typically public defenders have much heavier case loads and can't spend as much time on any one case, the fact that they handle that many cases sometimes gives them the advantage of familiarity with the prosecuting attorney and the judge, and how best to present a given case to the individuals involved.
