My question involves criminal law for the state of: illinois
i got arrested for domestic battery for getting in a fight with my brother. we got back from a bar we started arguing and began fighting. it escalated and i hit him in the head with an object and he called the cops. the cops took this object as evidence and i was the only one arrested and charged. He ended up goin to the hospital and i went to jail. Would this be a felony domestic battery charge?? should i get a lawyer?? he already said he will not show up to court so will it get dropped?? please help as i need this dropped because i am joining the national guard and they will not let me join until this gets completely cleared up!!!
