What should I do if I was given a ticket for disorderly persons last night after an argument in a bar parking lot escalated into a fight?
Neither of us were seriously injured or arrested. I have never been in any sort of legal trouble. What consequences should I expect?

You would be wise to retain legal counsel. With no proir record, it may be possible to avoid a conviction and a criminal record with an agreement to Stay the Prosecution.
