Disorderly Conduct

Get Help from Chicago Criminal Lawyer Andrew M. Weisberg If You Have Been Charged with Disorderly Conduct

If you have been charged with disorderly conduct in Chicago, the implication is more than a suggestion that you got a little bit rowdy or that a situation in which you were involved got out of hand. Rather, a disorderly conduct charge, in some cases, can carry a fine of up to $10,000, and alleges that you have unreasonably caused a disturbance and breached the public peace.

The statutes governing disorderly conduct get very specific regarding the ways in which such a disturbance may have occurred. For example, setting off a false fire alarm, transmitting a threat to a school, or being a “peeping Tom,” just to name a few. Because of the multiplicity of reasons as to why someone might be charged with disorderly conduct, as well as the extreme variance in penalties depending upon which reason is alleged to have resulted in a breach of the public peace, it is important to have an experienced disorderly conduct attorney in Chicago such as Andrew M. Weisberg who can decipher all of the statutes, review the specifics of your case, and develop a viable defense in light of all the circumstances.

Chicago Disorderly Conduct Attorney Andrew M. Weisberg Can Provide the Aggressive Defense You Need

Depending upon the type of disorderly conduct that is alleged to have occurred, you could be at risk of being convicted of a Class A, Class B, or Class C misdemeanor. However, there are also circumstances that would qualify disorderly conduct as a Class 3 or a Class 4 felony. In addition, regardless of whether a misdemeanor or felony is in question, any conviction has a mandated 30-120 hours of community service attached to it.

Your criminal defense attorney in Chicago, Andrew M. Weisberg has the training and experience to be able to wade through all of the possible scenarios when it comes to your disorderly conduct charge and develops a plan so that you can be assured of having the opportunity for the best possible outcome to your case. Even if your charge is classified as a misdemeanor, you do not want to risk having a criminal conviction on your record or incurring some of the substantial fines that can accompany such a conviction. Mr. Weisberg will aggressively pursue all means available to help you in your attempts to avoid such an outcome.

Andrew M. Weisberg – Defending You Against Disorderly Conduct Charges in Chicago

Law enforcement authorities and court officials take disorderly conduct charges very seriously. Especially since the nation’s war on terror began, any sort of public disturbance must be considered a possible threat to the wellbeing of citizens. As a result, certain actions or behaviors that you may have intended to be humorous or simply had not thought through all the way can become occasions for criminal charges.

When you find yourself in danger of becoming a convicted criminal because of such accusations, you need a defense attorney in Chicago who has a successful record of handing disorderly conduct charges. Andrew M. Weisberg is that Chicago disorderly conduct attorney. Mr. Weisberg is well-versed in all of the laws, rules, statutes, and regulations surrounding disorderly conduct and other undesirable behaviors, including the following:

  • Disorderly conduct 720 ILCS 5/26-1
  • False report of theft or other losses 720 ILCS 5/26-1.1
  • Interference with emergency communication 720 ILCS 5/26-2
  • Use of a fax in unsolicited advertising or soliciting 720 ILCS 5/26-3
  • Unauthorized use of video recordings or live transmissions 720 ILCS 5/26-4
  • Consumer communications privacy violations 720 ILCS 5/26-4.5
  • Disorderly conduct at a funeral or memorial service 720 ILCS 5/26-6
  • Disorderly conduct with a laser or laser pointer 720 ILCS 5/26-7
  • … and more

If you have been charged with any of these crimes or any combination of them, a Chicago disorderly conduct attorney can provide you with the legal counsel and representation that you will need as you attempt to build an adequate defense to combat these charges
