What do you do? Get a lawyer, of course, who knows how to deal with these kinds of legal matters.

What are the the possible consequences? Conviction for a misdemeanor assault which in D.C. could mean a substantial fine and at the very least a suspended jail sentence---if you happen to be a first time offender.
