Pet law is a diverse subject that covers a wide range of legal topics. These range from criminal convictions for animal cruelty, to filing injunctions against neighbors for violations of a local noise ordinance by a barking dog. Typically, an issue related to pet law is handled by an attorney from a different discipline. For example, if you wanted to sue someone for a dog bite, you would contact a personal injury attorney. If you suspected animal cruelty, you would contact your local police. Pet laws are state specific, so if you have a question, contact a local attorney relevant to the facts of your case.
