She needs an attorney.

If she has been charged with a felony (likely PC 273.5(a) - domestic battery with corporal injury) then she needs an attorney. The most likely end result for a first offense will be counseling, probation, fines and fees, and maybe a protective order either preventing contact with her victim, or, limiting it to "peaceful contact."
