    I highly recommend this law firm. Bryce was the attorney that handled my DUI case. He handled everything for me and explained things to where I could easily and fully understand. Bryce was very professional and helpful. Everyone I spoke with over the phone was helpful and friendly as well. The billing process was simple and affordable.

    Violation of Rights In Disturbing The Peace Accusations

    Whether you’re guilty of disturbing the peace of falsely accused, you have important rights that our lawyers work hard to protect. If any of your rights are violated, evidence collected during the violation can be thrown out of court. For instance, if you were not read your Miranda rights before an interrogation while under arrest, what you say cannot be held against you as evidence.

    Self-Defense Claims In Disturbance Allegations

    In some cases where the disorderly conduct involved a physical altercation or a very loud dispute and was done in the name of protecting yourself or someone else, our lawyers could help you find the evidence to build an argument around self-defense. This can be a helpful defense if you can prove your actions were necessary to prevent injury to yourself or someone else.

    Defense Based On Mistaken Identity Or Confirmed Alibi

    When disorderly conduct occurs and is experienced by others, it can often be within a chaotic and stressful setting. A setting in which it can be easy to misidentify who was at-fault. If you have been mistaken as the perpetrator of disorderly conduct or you have an alibi, you might have a defense that can get your case dismissed so you don’t have to face penalties for something you did not do.

    FAQs About Disorderly Conduct Defense

    If you have been falsely accused of disorderly conduct, it’s important to remember that you have certain rights that must be upheld. These rights protect you through the legal process and our lawyers can make sure your rights are protected. First of all, you have the right to remain silent. It can be crucial to be aware of this right immediately after an accusation since everything that you say can be used against you. Some people may want to explain themselves, thinking the facts will clearly speak to their innocence, but you must resist. Second, you have a right to an attorney. Your attorney will help guide you in what to say and will help you fight for your innocence. With years of experience, disorderly conduct lawyers are skilled at making sure innocent people are not falsely charged. Additionally, you have the right to avoid searches and seizures without a lawful warrant. If you believe any of your rights have been violated, mention this to your lawyer as soon as possible. They can use this information in your favor, pursuing a dismissal of your case.
    Yes, your social media posts can be used as evidence in criminal cases. This is why our lawyers strongly recommend that you avoid talking about anything related to your accusation and arrest in public. This includes on social media. It is possible that there are older or more recent posts you have made on social media that could be used as evidence against you. Resist the urge to delete these posts and show them to your lawyer who will know exactly how to handle them. Deleting posts could be seen as trying to hide evidence and this fact alone could be used against you. Not all of your social media is immediately accessible, however. While your public posts can be used without permission by prosecutors, private messages or posts typically require a subpoena or legal process to access. Your lawyer can take the more incriminating posts and argue that there was context, tone, sarcasm, or exaggeration involved. In the end, while it is best to avoid making comments that could be used against you on social media, if you do have evidence on social media, talk to your lawyer who is skilled at handling this and will help you towards the best possible outcome.
    Disorderly conduct convictions are typically misdemeanors, but they still can have lasting effects on your personal life. One of the biggest impacts will be due to the fact that you now have a criminal record. This can affect many areas, but especially your employment and housing. Many employers perform background checks periodically and some require no criminal record in order to work. You could be let go if your record is discovered, especially given that your record involves disorderly conduct which could be a red flag for professional conduct. This could also limit your future job opportunities as most jobs require a background check before being hired. As for housing, many landlords also require background checks and may deny your application if a record is shown. You could experience a loss of reputation as your friends and family discover what happened, causing isolation in your life. If you’re facing a charge for disorderly conduct, reach out to our lawyers right away.
    It depends. If your case was dismissed or you were found not guilty, you could have your record cleared. However, if you were convicted of disorderly conduct, you will not be able to expunge your record. It may qualify to be “set aside” or sealed instead. Setting aside a record does not erase anything, but it will be marked as “set aside” on your record. This tells anyone accessing your record that you have completed the sentence and have met the criteria to have it set aside. In many cases you can also be free from having to legally say you were convicted when asked. You can also seal your record, which you must also qualify for. A sealed record will generally be hidden from the general public, but can still be accessed by law enforcement and the government. Talk to our lawyers about which process might suit your specific situation best.
    Whether you are charged with a disorderly conduct felony or misdemeanor depends on the severity of the circumstances. Most disorderly conduct charges are misdemeanors and include minor acts that disturb the peace like public yelling, minor fights, and harassment. You can spend up to 6 months in jail and pay up to $2,500 in fines for a misdemeanor. For more serious circumstances such as disorderly conduct that causes serious injury, involves weapons, or affects public safety, you will be charged with a felony. A felony can put you in prison for over a year and you can owe a significant amount more in fines. If your disorderly conduct is being charged as a felony, talk to our lawyers about how we can help you reduce these charges. We will take an in-depth look at your case and will create a defense for the best possible outcome.
    A plea agreement or plea deal can be helpful if you plan to plead guilty or no contest. Your lawyer will coach you and negotiate a deal where you can do this in exchange for lower charges and penalties. You could face shorter jail time, lower fines, or complete probation instead of jail. In some cases, it can be agreed upon for you to do community service, anger management classes, or counseling instead of harsher penalties. The process will start with your lawyer discussing with prosecution what possible deals are available based on evidence, a prior record, and how strong your case is. From there, you will be offered a deal. You and your lawyer can look over the terms of the deal to see if you want to take it or go to trial. If you accept the plea deal, your case will finish up relatively quickly afterwards. If you choose to go to trial, you will have a longer road ahead, but it could end up being the better choice. Your lawyer will advise you on what to do.
