Legal Advice On Subpoena

Card image cap

I got a subpoena order taped to my door to testify at trial in a dv case where i am the victim. I did not call the police the night of the incident or ask for charges to be pressed but they took pictures of the bruising & had me write a statement. I’m freaking out because i did NOT want to be in a court room or testify especially if they already have evidence so i don’t understand ? This is his first case and this is not a severe dv case. My victim advocate told me since i’m asking for him to serve no jail time if he he pleas guilty he could possible be let off with probation and drug treatment. He pled not guilty in jail and now pre trial is set for tomorrow and then trial the 19th which is when they are requesting me to show up. My advocate told me not to freak out yet until we know tomorrows outcome but i am indeed freaking out i’ve never been in a courtroom i dont want to testify against him. We never have issues like this i never wanted it to get this far. I cant talk infront of a court room im freaking outtt arghhh pls help ???? a family member told me if he takes a plea deal i wont have to see the inside of a court room but if he tries ti fight the case then i will have to testify
