Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

Immigration & criminal law concerning assault

I came in US on a F-1 visa in 2003, I have been married for a year and a half, and have a child with an american citizen (she was born and grew up here). I have an immigration attorney who is handling my LPR paperwork and I already received my work permit, now awaiting the interview.

However, my relationship has been going downhill and I went from a perfect legal record to 2 arrests in the past 6 weeks for domestic assault (wife accused me of pushing her twice). I honestly believe I am innocent (I feel it doesn't matter anymore though) and I really believe I am in the red. I have a criminal attorney handling my single case before but now with the add-up I know things got more serious and I need more than what I have.

I am still pursuing my dream of getting my Master here, and my goal is either to avoid a criminal conviction or deferred adjudication (which will certainly have me deported), or to have a chance to finish my studies (3 yrs) if I do get unlucky.

I know nothing is guaranteed in a trial , but I would like to know how to go about finding and hiring the best attorney(s) possible, which references should I look for, how to know which one(s) will do, and where to turn for help.
