When you commit a crime you have to deal with the consequences. Failure to pay a fine and probation fees could in some cases meamn you go to jail. You should have had your lawyer seek to have you do community service in lieu of fines (that cannot be fixed now). Why did he not ask for that, as judges often approve that?
