WHY YOU NEED A CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY ON YOUR SIDE

Disorderly conduct is a gross misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of $1,000. There are four basic things that can happen that lead to a charge of disorderly conduct:

• A person allegedly used abusive language and thereby intentionally creates a risk of assault towards another person
• A person allegedly intentionally disrupted any lawful assembly or meeting of persons without lawful authority to do so
• A person allegedly intentionally obstructed vehicular or pedestrian traffic without lawful authority
• A person allegedly ntentionally engaged in fighting or in tumultuous conduct or makes unreasonable noise, within five hundred feet of the location where a funeral or burial is being performed, a funeral home during the viewing of a deceased person, or a funeral procession.

Disorderly conduct is a charge that can be different depending on the jurisdiction in which the crime is alleged to have been committed. Some cities have enacted their own municipal codes to amend state law. If you have been charged with disorderly conduct, it is very important that you take the necessary steps to protect your rights and your freedom. You can receive the legal advice that you need to give you an enhanced chance at success in your case by contacting a knowledgeable attorney.
