Did you go immediately to the hospital?
If not can (would) your family claim you have mental issues?

Do i have the chance to win this case?Hello t:
Your lawyer is the District Attorney, and he has all the money he needs to prosecute this case. Sure you have a chance... A pretty good chance.
Here's the good news. If he's convicted in criminal court, and you sue him for damages in civil court, you'll automatically WIN.

You don't need your "own" attorney - the State (the DA) will represent you.
How old is this charge against him?
