More details to this question:
My husband and I got into a serious argument and there was injury to each of us from the other. We were not arrested but the officer did take our statements and is putting it to the DA. Neither of us will testify against the other and we have already sought out counseling so that we can show that in court. We would like to know what the outcome might be for us. We each have no criminal record and have never been in trouble.

The District Attorney's office may not pursue charges in your case, but it is within their discretion to do so. If the DA does pursue charges and seeks a jail sentence, then you will be entitled to representation. If you cannot afford an attorney, then the court will appoint one to your case. The DA could decided to pursue charges against only one of you. If you have reconciled and the fight was only verbal, not physical, then it is likely that your attorney will be able to get your charges dismissed.
