Especially if its a first offense. Do they really help make a difference in your sentence?

Won't make much difference if you're going to plead guilty so it's probably not worth the trouble if you can't afford it
They may be able to make a case for leniency if it's a first offence though

best thing to do is have a talk with the prosecutor and see if he has a hard on for you,, its what a lawyer would do and the prosecutor may not be ur friend but he is open to suggestions if you work to save the court money and time by pleading guilty if you get some sort of reduced sentence,, also tell em you will leave town for ever and that's good news for the court and will knock charges to minimum penalty's in some cases,, I got two pot charges almost dropped by telling them I would leave there little town for ever

They can sometimes negotiate a lower sentence. I know 3 people who committed a nasty crime...2 got 9yrs each with court appointed lawyers, the one who paid for his own lawyer got 5yrs...it's who you know and what you pay for etc. I guess if your lawyer is "in" with the DA he can pull strings/make deals.
