A class A misdemeanor is one of the more serious misdemeanors and should be taken seriously, especially becasue it is a domestic case. You will probably be required to see a family relations advisor to discuss the situation. The state's attorney is gong to be tough on you unless the family relations advisor gives him a good report from talking to you and/or your girlfriend. I suggst that you hire a lawyer to help you as this is your first offense and you ant to keep your rcord clean. A domestic case is something you want to go at yourself.
