As the saying goes "don't play a doctor if you are not one", and to para phrase "don't play a lawyer if you are not one". Having said this no matter however tempting it may be one should not loose their cool when faced with a judge or for that matter a police. It helps to be defensive to make our point heard. As an example if a speeding ticket is contested and a judge asks were you speeding and if the answer is "no" the case is lost. On the other hand if the answer is something like "I am not so sure" or "I might have gone slightly above because of certain circumstances prevailed at that time" there may be some chance for the case to be dismissed. This example I learned watching 'court shows'. Any way this is besides the point you are asking but I thought I will throw in my five cents. Your narrative indicates you needed a lawyer.
Regarding the pet fee as the earlier posts said it is better to slightly increase the rent to account for any damages and if no damage to the property good for you. I allow pets to fill the place. In one case even with NO PET policy I found a cat and only thing I could do was to take extra deposit as I ddin't want to go through the eviction process and loose more money.
