DV case

am just wondering what to expect. Met a girl last year and was together for six months. She was incredibly abusive often verbally and physically. Claimed DV on my part and I subsequently got arrested. Now it’s been multiple times, she alleged DV on another day and then once she heard her case status she alleged contempt. Now it’s been about 4.5 months already and I have stacked up 4 misdemeanor charges. It is a complex case as I am a physician in good standing. She never had any injuries but had pictures of random bruising which I am unable to identify where it came from. My attorneys have been telling me dismissal was very likely since the beginning but she has pressed on saying I belong in jail etc. I understand the political nature behind DV cases and I understand the optics of being male but isn’t this all ridiculous if there is so much evidence on my side and mitigating factors? Is it normal for a case to go this long without concrete direction and only continuances to review? ROR x4. I am able to work again as hospital completed investigation and multiple physicians have seen my account plus seen me with injuries etc. The emotional toll of uncertainty when someone clearly just wants to ruin your life makes this all very difficult.
