A: Here's the thing - if you hire an attorney to fight the ticket, the fee would likely be minimal. If you were responsible for the dogs at the time, then it is your ticket. If you were not responsible for the dogs (i.e. your son was there), then it may very well be that the police gave the ticket to the wrong person. As to your other question, I am unsure if you are stating that the charges are now being pressed by the state or if you are just curious if this is a possibility.
