First, realize the severity of the charges. Unlike a misdemeanor domestic violence crime, a felony domestic violence crime could affect your ability to vote, work, and pass many background checks in addition to carrying longer jail sentences and more punishments (for example, many Coloradans who are convicted of domestic violence crimes must complete a 36-session domestic violence prevention course in addition to their prison term).
Felony domestic violence crimes include assaults that are committed on a spouse, or person involved in an intimate relation, harassment or stalking, some restraining order violations, kidnapping and false imprisonment. Even if a victim recants their story, you can still be convicted of a felony, and juries are notoriously biased against accused perpetrators of domestic violence.
The above might sound like an immediate sentence.
