man hid behind my car and jumped me. I slashed man twice with machetti in self defense. He filed charges against me. what to do.

Uh ... okay, silly question ... what were you doing carrying a machete?

In the long run, it is up to the DA to file charges. If the DA thinks that he has a case, charges will be pursued. Since we have no details, we cannot really comment on the matter, but I would strongly recommend that you consult an attorney as soon as possible.
