There is no way that anyone answering here will have as great a grasp on the fact and details of your case as your own attorney. Listen to your lawyer if you want to succeed at this endeavor. Have you asked the lawyer why they still want you to pay restitutions? Is it a condition prerequisite of a deal with the prosecutor? Did the victim's advocate office speak with your attorney? You need to sit down and speak with your lawyer.
