More details to this question:
Charges are being filled against me for domestic violence with assault useing a deadly weapon. My boyfriend received a letter from a district attorney. Though the document did not have my full name like as my birth certificate says. Is this considered acceptable or will the case be dismissed because it is not my full birth name?

Never put a lot of stock on trivial typos -- many cases ignore such, and charging instruments can be amended. That said, your best bet is to consult an experienced criminal defense attorney.
