More details to this question:
I was charge with what I believe is property damage for breaking the side mirror of a car. I already went to court and saw the judge and I'm not sure if he told me if I'm found guilty I would have to go to jail & pay fine OR pay the fine or go to jail. He told me to get a lawyer and gave another court date. I'm not sure what would be best PLEASE HELP!

The judge's advice to get a lawyer is a good indication that the judge considers this to be a serious matter. I would obtain a lawyer. You do not want a criminal conviction. If you cannot afford an attorney request a Public Defender. Our fee would be $2500. Ed Dimon 732-797-1600
