This is my first time to have domestic violence felony charge. I did not like my wife's shirt so I pulled and pushed to tear it. Unfortunately put scratches on her in the process. I have no criminal record whatsoever.

If you are being charged with a felony, you are looking at a possible 3 year jail sentence. Probation, anger management classes, protective orders, etc. are also possible. Time to stop posting questions on the internet and hire an attorney.

You're probably looking at some jail time unless you can prove up a defense. Better get a good lawyer.

You need to hire a lawyer ASAP. If convicted you will lose your gun rights for life, have a felony that may never be reduced, and be forced to attend a one year DV class that is very expensive. Hopefully you haven't opened your mouth to any detectives yet. Either way, DV involves a lot of he said she said, so it's not as easy to prove for the prosecutor as it seems. Which is why it's best to hire a lawyer to defend you from the onset.
