A: Fighting it will cost you more than the fines. Pay the fines and strictly comply with the terms of your probation.

A:
Sounds like you pleaded guilty or "no contest" (same as guilty plea). If you pleaded guilty pursuant to a plea bargain, there's almost noithing you can do at this stage. There's no "King'sX" in Court. You can't accept a plea offer, get the deal done by pleading guilty, and then sayyou want to change the result. You waived your right to appeal, correct? Also, on an agreed plea, you have no right to appeal to begin with. Judge can allow you to appeal, but judges rarely do this.
Things are different if you filed pretrial motions which were denied after a hearing. In that case, you have a right to appeal the ruling usually. Did you file a motion to suppress the evidence or a motion to dismiss the case for any reason?

A: I agree with the other attorneys. If money is your motivation for fighting the case then just forget it. Fighting a case after you already lost is significantly more expensive. Also, it is 100X easier to win a criminal case BEFORE you enter a plea.
