More details to this question:
I talked with an attorney and he told me this case is going to trial. I didn't want this to happen this way but the court is going to call me in to testify. I need to hire an attorney that could help my boyfriend.

You do not say what the charge is. My guess Assault 4 DV. If there are pictures, plus your statement, the damage is done since they can present this information to the court. If subpoenaed, you must appear. If you do not, a warrant for your arrest will be issued. You can refuse to testify on the stand.
