   Expect to pay fines, be on probation for 1-3 years and do classes like anger management, counseling, etc.

   Now, you want achieve the best outcome avoiding prison and getting a lenient sentencing altogether, it seems. I think the court will view a potential reduction in charges when your counsel and you will prepare a convincing package in mediation with character letters, proofs of your engagement in the community, awards, commendation letters, Affidavits by the people with direct knowledge of the positives in your persona etc.
   These matters are very delicate, your counsel must assess the best course of action, discuss the mediation with the assigned State Attorneys to facilitate your objective.
   Finally, while offering a sheer speculation regarding the given felony reduction outcome will be unprofessional, a concise legal plan to proceed for that purpose as set forth above is a logical and sound in its nature.

If you cannot find an experienced local criminal litigator on Avvo, a good place to look is the website for the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL.org) Speak to several attorneys and hire the one that makes you feel confident and comfortable.
