Phoenix Disorderly Conduct Attorneys
Mesa Loitering Defense Attorney
Disorderly conduct encompasses all matters not adequately covered by other crimes, from loitering to handling a weapon. It is the "catch-all" under which police officers can place you under arrest.
We represent people in the Phoenix area and throughout Maricopa, Yavapai and Pinal counties who have been arrested for disorderly conduct. Contact our Phoenix disorderly conduct lawyer at Beresky & Fish, P.C., for a free consultation. We can help.
Our Phoenix disorderly conduct lawyers understand that disorderly conduct is a very subjective crime — the truth is that simply irritating the police officer is enough to get you arrested. Typically, disorderly conduct includes actions where you had intent to disturb the peace, such as:
- Fighting
- Public drunkenness
- Noise disturbances
- Attempt to provoke someone with abusive or offensive language
- Loitering
- Recklessly handling a weapon
Disorderly conduct is also often charged in conjunction with another crime, such as assault, to make the other crime more serious.
Because arrest for disorderly conduct is subjective, there is room for interpretation of your specific situation. The severity of the punishment is also subjective, depending on the circumstances in your case. Consequences can be severe — if convicted of a dangerous disorderly conduct, you could face prison time.
Our Phoenix disorderly conduct lawyers will aggressively pursue a different interpretation of your actions to demonstrate that your conduct was not unreasonable and that severe punishment would not be appropriate. In this way, we may be able to reduce or eliminate the charges, or in the very least reduce the punishment.
