Disorderly Conduct

GET HELP FROM CHICAGO CRIMINAL LAWYER ANDREW M. WEISBERG IF YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH DISORDERLY CONDUCT

A disorderly conduct charge in Chicago is more than just a minor legal issue—it can have serious and lasting consequences. If convicted, you could face fines up to $10,000, jail time, and a permanent criminal record that could affect your job opportunities, housing, and reputation. Illinois law (720 ILCS 5/26-1) defines disorderly conduct broadly, covering a range of behaviors, including false fire alarms, threats to schools, and even certain privacy violations. Given the wide scope of activities that could result in a disorderly conduct charge, it is essential to have a skilled and aggressive defense attorney on your side.

TOUGHER ENFORCEMENT UNDER THE NEW COOK COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY

With a new Cook County State’s Attorney, law enforcement and prosecutors are cracking down harder on disorderly conduct cases. What might have previously been seen as a minor infraction is now being prosecuted more aggressively, with fewer plea deal opportunities and harsher penalties. Given this stricter legal climate, having an experienced defense attorney like Andrew M. Weisberg is crucial in ensuring that your rights are protected and that you receive fair treatment in court.

Weisberg understands the complexity of disorderly conduct charges and has the legal knowledge and courtroom experience to fight for the best possible outcome—whether that means reducing charges, minimizing penalties, or getting the case dismissed altogether.
