Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I used to work at a family owned market.(my baby's dad and his father own it} all his family works there too. including his sister, who didn't like the idea of me working there.she would always be talking bad things about me with other worker, which i ignored until she started saying that i was stealing. which of course is not true. one day i confronted her inside the store's office, things got out of hand and i slapped her. her husband got in and pushed me, they called the police and they pressed charges on me.I didn't press charges on the husband. I didn't think it was a big deal. But now i have court. should i plea guilty? my public defender thinks i should take it to trial.

The general guidance available here is no substitute for the specific advice you are already getting from a lawyer who knows much more about your case than we do.
