Argent, 37, struck a deal with public prosecutors and accepted a six-month suspended prison sentence for the attack on former Miss Sweden Nicoline Artursson, 32, at a rented home.
She suffered injuries to her neck, arms, hand and leg.
He was hauled to Fuengirola's Court of Violence Against Women and admitted the crime of mistreatment.
A well-placed legal source said: 'The individual who was convicted has appointed a new barrister and solicitor.'
The new lawyers have not been named but may be involved in negotiating terms of a rehabilitation course he has to attend.
The ex-Towie star James Argent was ordered to pay his ex-girlfriend just £250 in compensation for attacking her.
Argent, 37, was handed a six month suspended prison sentence after hurting Nicoline Artursson at their Spanish home.
He frogmarched her to the door of their picturesque beachfront property and pushed her down a set of steps.
Cops wanted to charge Argent with wounding but settled for the lesser offence of 'mistreatment' after he agreed to a plea deal.
But court papers obtained by The Sun show Argent - who raked in £5,000-a-week last year - was only required to pay Nicoline a paltry £250 in damages.

Gangland hitmen shot Scottish targets in chest and stomach outside Spanish bar
Gangland hitmen shot Scottish targets in chest and stomach outside Spanish bar Gangland hitmen reportedly shot Scottish targets in the chest and stomach in public execution outside Spanish bar. Two men were gunned down near the entrance of Monaghans bar in Fuengirola in front of horrified ex pats and holidaymakers last night around 11.30pm. Spain's national police force have confirmed both men were Scottish despite earlier reports the two victims were Irish. A masked gunman is reported to have got out of a car that screeched to a halt outside the bar before fleeing the scene in the same vehicle drive by an accomplice. The brutal slaying took place as punters were enjoying a drink after watching the Champions League final on the big screens at the bar. Authorities in Spain say the first victim was shot in the chest and the second in the chest and abdomen. The government's sub-delegate in Malaga Javier Salas has now also confirmed the victim's were both Scottish. Harrowing images from the scene show a man lying lifeless on his back in shorts and a T-shirt by a drinks and meal blackboard on an outside terrace at the Irish bar. In other disturbing images police and paramedics can be seen surrounding the body of one of the victims, thought to be the same man, after he was covered under a blanket as shocked locals and holidaymakers looked on. There are no reports yet of any arrests, although police set up roadblocks in the area after the shooting to try to catch those responsible. Monaghan's bar sits looking onto the beach at the popular Costa Del Sol holiday resort. Earlier the Record told how the bar is owned by Lyons crime clan hood Ross Monaghan. Monaghan, who fled Scotland in 2017, to head for the Costa Del Sol is listed as the proprietor of the bar in an online business directory. The gangland figure touched town in Malaga in January 2017 after he was shot twice in a gun attack outside a primary school in Glasgow. Monaghan was reportedly shot twice by a gunman lurking outside St George's Primary, Penilee. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The Record understands the horror gun killings are linked to the ongoing gang wars in Scotland. The killings come amidst a violent gang war that has been raging in Scotland since March. The feud first erupted following a fallout between rival gangsters after a £500k stash of cocaine was reportedly swiped from under the nose of Dubai-based Mr Big, Ross McGill. The drugs were reportedly taken by caged Edinburgh kingpin Mark Richardson's foot soldiers sparking a series of violent attacks on homes and businesses. Mr Big, who was later revealed as former Union Bears capo McGill waged war on Richardson and his associates, including the Daniels crime clan in Glasgow. Mr Big's enforcers, a faceless and frightening group going by the name of Tamo Junto (TMJ), have carried out a series of fire bombings and other vicious attacks on homes, businesses and cars associated with Richardson. We reported earlier this week that a well-placed source said the Dubai-based Mr Big behind attacks on Daniel targets, Ross McGill, had agreed to end hostilities after being leaned on by cartel bosses in Dubai. However gangland enforces Tamo Junto (TMJ) quickly quashed any talk of peace as they vowed to continue to carry out the turf war.
