Is there any way I can get my charges dropped or thrown out? Should I obtain a lawyer? Or just jump through the hoops?

I was in an altercation with my boyfriend when I was really intoxicated. It was a big misunderstanding but whoever called the police got it on video tape. I am not a violent person nor have I ever been in trouble. I'm trying to go to school to be a paramedic and this charge is something that would prevent me from being able to graduate. My boyfriend isn't pressing charges, but the court gave him an order of protection anyway. We just moved from Chicago to Colorado and I have no way of being able to accommodate the order of protection due to not knowing many people here so I've just been staying at home with my boyfriend.
