Neighbor threatened myself and family so we filed for restraining order

As the title states my next door neighbor threatened myself and family after accusing me and some friends of throwing illegal fireworks. The more we tried to tell her it wasn't us the more agitated she got. She went as far as calling us names and threatening my life and my families life. Once she threatened us we contacted police and she was taken to jail which then we filed for a restraining order. Today we had our court appearance and she was there with an attorney. My question and concern is if we should also get an attorney since both my wife and I are afraid the charges will get dismissed due to her having representation. I do have a full video as evidence of her threatening us and continuing to berate us for over half an hour until the police showed up. What recommendations do you guys have to offer?
