Our Miami criminal attorneys are experienced with a variety of criminal charges.
The crime of disorderly conduct can be a difficult one to understand. You may not have a criminal record when you are charged with this crime, and because this crime is rather vague, you may even be confused about what specific actions broke the law.
Under Florida Statute 877.03, the crime of disorderly conduct requires that the defendant was engaged in conduct which either corrupted the public morals, outraged the sense of public decency, affected the peace and quiet of persons, or amounted to fighting or brawling.
This is subjective, and sometimes charges may be brought when there is inadequate evidence to support the case that the defendant’s behavior was threatening to the public.
If you’ve been charged with disorderly conduct, like any crime, you should seek the advice of an experienced attorney who can help to prevent this charge from resulting in penalties or limiting your future opportunities.
