More details to this question:
They have us a simple assault. There was a PFA but it was dropped. I am on parole and my parole officer has not called me at all. My girlfriend did not want to press the charges and says that it was a big misunderstanding. We want to get an attorney. What should I do? If I get locked up, I get violated over something that should not have went that far.

I could go on, as I have handled many of these cases. the short answer is, get an attorney to direct both of you how to proceed and to speak with the DA and cop at the hearing. You may want to be proactive and enroll on a county approved domestic violence program, BEFORE the hearing.
