need affordable attorney

"Affordable" is a bad way to pick a lawyer for this type of issue. The  real issue is what will be the consequence to you and to your future, if a final domestic violence restraining order is entered against you. If you and she have a child together, the entry of a final doemstic violence restraining order gives your girlfriend specific legal rights as to custody of your child and the entry of a final order may impact your employment opportunities in the future as well. I would interview several family law specialists ( not general practitioners who handle family law matters) and ask them 1st how many domestic violence trials they have handled in the past 1 year, 3 years and 5 years so that you know that if the matter must be tried, you have a lawyer with experience trying this type of case. 2ndly, I would want a lawyer who knows the law governing domestic violence and whether it is the type of claim ( i.e harassment, physical violence, stalking) aad whether a civil rrstraining order can be entered into with the other side to avoid a formal final order or if its the type of allegation that you have a legitmate basis to fight in a trial setting. Simply because she has filed a domestic violence complaint against you ddes not mean that you do not have the right to fight it as well and an experienced family law attorney can discuss with you whether he thinks that you have a legitmate basis to challenge it  (ie under the 2nd prong of the Silver test, whether the court can find that you are not a continued threat to her and dismiss the restraining order - even if the allegations against you are true).
