Disorderly Conduct Lawyer

Disorderly conduct is a violation, not a crime in New York State. Violations do not result in a criminal record, unlike misdemeanor or felony convictions. That being said, disorderly conduct charges should not be treated lightly as a conviction can result in up to 15 days in jail.

Often police will issue a summons for disorderly conduct even though that person’s conduct has not risen to the level of any of the sections in the statute. Hiring an experienced criminal defense lawyer right from the start will protect your rights. Attorney Andrew DeLuca will work to convince the judge to have your charges reduced or completely dismissed.

Disorderly Conduct Charges in New York State

A person commits disorderly conduct by one or more of the following:

  • Engaging in fighting or in violent, tumultuous or threatening behavior.
  • Making unreasonable noise.
  • In a public place, using abusive or obscene language, or making an obscene gesture.
  • Without lawful authority, disturbing any lawful assembly or meeting of persons.
  • Obstructing vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
  • Congregating with other persons in a public place and refusing to comply with a lawful order of the police to disperse.
  • Creating a hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act which serves no legitimate purpose.

A disorderly conduct charge is often used against students. The police use this violation as their preferred way to charge students with when they talk back to police officers outside a bar or house party. We’ve seen the disorderly conduct charge commonly used in the Albany NY area.

For the charges to be successful, the court must prove that the conduct happened in a public place, and that the conduct caused a public annoyance or any other of the above offenses.

I was really in a bad and scary place in my life, facing a drug charge and looking at 8 years, and facing 16 years if I lost at trial. I remember Mr. DeLuca saying to me that if we went to trial, he would fight for me with all he had at that point. If I took the 8 years, I would lose everything I had—like my wife and my children, my job, my house. Everything I had was on the line. I was really scared, but there was something in the way Mr. DeLuca said he would represent me that made me feel safe and confident in his skill as an attorney. Safe to say, we did go to trial, and I was found not guilty on all charges. His cross-examination of the witnesses and bringing aspects to life that the jury could see was the truth. Whether it was the accuser or the police on the stand, he made every truth and untruth come to life—nothing less than a real-life Perry Mason. That was in 2013. Honestly, if it were not for Mr. DeLuca, I would still be incarcerated at this very time that I am writing this review. I have since asked Mr. DeLuca to represent other family members and friends with the same stellar result as the first time. He helped give me back my life. Thanks, you’re my brother from another mother.
