A party has the right to terminate his attorney at any time as long as it doesn't delay the case. A lawyer may not refuse to withdraw because he hasn't been paid.

By lodging a protest with the judge, DA office, and defense attorney, you have done everything reasonable to complain. You have no apparent grounds for any legal action against the DA, as they, like all government agents and agencies, are immune from any such lawsuits unless you can conclusively prove the agent intentionally willfully abused and exceeded his legal authority, intending to violate your constitutional rights and harm you. That is not what you described. He may not have done what you want, and may have used you to get a conviction, and may have made mistakes or been negligent, but that is not the grounds for you to sue. The defendant's attorney may be able to use something in an appeal or other legal action, but that is up to him.
