Salt Lake City Disorderly Conduct Lawyer

A Disorderly Conduct Charge Can Be a Big Deal

Sometimes, police officers simply decide that they don’t like a person. The person may not have done anything against the law, but the officers want to charge him or her with something anyway. Frequently, that charge is disorderly conduct.

Because the charge of disorderly conduct (or the similar charge of disturbing the peace) does not sound like serious wrongdoing, some people assume the repercussions of such a criminal charge are not serious.

They are wrong.

Conviction for disorderly conduct can come with steep fines. It will appear on your criminal record, where potential employers can see it when determining whether they should hire you. Police officers will see it in their system. It may impact how they treat you in a routine traffic stop and other situations.

You have the right to defend yourself against disorderly conduct charges.
