You are going to be arraigned on the current charges with a 'prior' that will enhance the penalties on this case, and you'll face one or more probation violation[s] that could put you in prison. Get an attorney unless you like prison food and accommodations.

As stated above, you need to be concerned with possible Probation Violations as well as the prior domestic violence. Regarding the new case, DV cases have long term effects on your future - you need to be prepared to aggressively defend yourself.
