No...That misdemeanor is worst than some felonies. You might apply for a governor's pardon sometime. But consult with a competent attorney and learn of the many effective weapons legally available to you. Noone should ever plead guilty to that charge without diversion involved.
(typo: *physically abusing me) I moved out a few months ago and we used a quitclaim deed to get me off the title, but I am still on the mortgage and they threatened to sue me for missed payments since I agreed to pay until the end of this year.

Physical attack by another tenant is not a release from financial obligation on a note secured by a deed of trust. CH 7 Bankruptcy might be an option. Why did you give a deed without payment therefor? Usually the lender will foreclose on the home first, then possibly come after the... View More

New law in Tennessee said some crimes have to serve 100% and not get parole now. Does this apply to someone already sentenced before new law ?

It is not retroactive. But charges initiated after its implementation will generate 100% to be served Sentences.

You do not want the DA to bind it over to the Grand Jury. DA is worst than some felonies. Hire a competent attorney and prepare for the Preliminary Hearing. Possibly try to divert, dismiss and expunge the charge. This is a very serious charge which will hurt you permanently.
I went to my exs house to pick up items that we had discussed me getting earlier in the week.

Courts in different Counties set very different Bonds. Coffee County, in my experience, would generally set Bond about $25K to $50+K for such an offense. If the victim was wounded, it would be much higher, probably three to five times higher.
I fled the relationship almost 4 years ago. I was followed, though. I was too afraid to live alone. Thankfully, i had many friends who offered me a safe place. Safe until my ex discovered where I was staying. Once he knew, he terrorized my friends until either I left, or was asked to leave. If my... View More

You should have called law enforcement. You might be able to file an Action To Recover Personal Property in General Sessions. Use TN terms only, not foreign. Otherwise you will need to file for a Divorce and have to prove grounds.

If you are not convicted of DA or have any other firearm disabilities, then you can possess firearms. However that charge is probably on your record if not expunged. So you will fail a NCIC. Might want to expunge it.
