Domestic violence can be a deportable offense, but some is not. Additionally, USCIS will probably want to deny the application since domestic violence is considered to be very serious. The good news is that the conviction appears to be beyond the 5 year look-back period for good moral character so they will need to find something else to pin the denial of Naturalization on.

You really need an attorney to analyze the entire situation for you BEFORE you do anything. I have had several clients who filed their N-400 themselves, without considering these matters, and were then put into deportation proceedings.

This is too important to trust to advice you receive on a message board.
