Disturbing the Peace

Navigating Disturbing the Peace Charges in Utah

A charge of disturbing the peace might seem minor, but it can lead to unwelcome legal entanglements and an unnecessary blemish on your record. In Utah, this charge, often falling under the broader category of “disorderly conduct” (Utah Code § 76-9-102), covers a spectrum of behaviors perceived as disruptive to public order or individual tranquility. From an isolated noise complaint to an alleged public confrontation, the specifics of these accusations can vary widely, as can their potential repercussions. Successfully addressing these charges requires a clear understanding of Utah law and a strategic defense tailored to your unique circumstances. At Greg Smith and Associates, we are dedicated Utah criminal defense attorneys, providing compassionate, immediate, and experienced representation to protect your rights and guide you through the legal process. You don’t have to face these complex legal matters alone.

If you find yourself accused of disturbing the peace or disorderly conduct in Utah, the criminal defense experts at Greg Smith and Associates are ready to assist. We possess extensive experience representing individuals across Salt Lake City and surrounding communities in a variety of situations that lead to these charges, including:

  • Noise Violations: Addressing citations for unreasonably loud noise, whether in public or from a private residence audible in public.
  • Disruptive Public Behavior: Defending against accusations of fighting, tumultuous conduct, or engaging in actions that intentionally cause public inconvenience or alarm.
  • Obstruction: Representing those accused of unlawfully blocking pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
  • Refusal to Disperse: Assisting clients who allegedly failed to comply with lawful police orders to move from a public place or official meeting.
