Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

you need an attorney, you have to plead not guilty, get the police report and complaint, continue the case 2 months out, find out who the DA is in charge of your case, next court appearance, ask for diversion, anger management class, 2 year probation, then all charges dismissed.

Here's the bottom line: You absolutely need an attorney. You are facing charges that could very easily land you in jail, on probation and in mandatory year-long "batterer's treatment" counseling.

Number one: Don't make any additional admissions online. These are public forums and anyone can access them.

Next: I strongly suggest you get an attorney to appear with you at your first appearance. Why? because they will make a decision about bail, restraining orders and other matters that can greatly impact your case - right from the beginning. If you cannot afford an attorney (and you won't know if you can or can't until you speak to a few and discuss the case and fees), you'll have to show up and request a public defender.

I don't know if I follow or suggest the plan of action laid out by the other attorney.

As above, you need an attorney, the earlier in the process the better. In the meantime, I have some posts on my blog which may be informative. Good luck!
