Its very hard to answer this sort of question because most a swers are county specific. Talk to a local attorney and they can tell you how the police and prosecutors usually handle these types of cases. In many if the counties I operate with some counselling and usually Community Service we can get the charges reduced. Some counties require a more structured domestivmc violence program.
