Ocala Disorderly Conduct Attorney
Experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer in Marion County, FL
Disorderly conduct has sometimes been termed a "catch-all" charge as it has been used to quiet down and control a crowd who is not necessarily doing anything illegal or causing a danger to themselves or others.
Disorderly conduct may be charged for a number of various things, such as:
- Being drunk in public
- Fighting with another or others
- Making unreasonable noises after having been asked to cease
- Loitering in certain places
- Disrupting a group of people who are assembled in a lawful manner.

Dunham & Ingram is familiar with the type of criminal law governing disrupting the peace and such accusations and we are glad to help.
Strategies to Get Your Disorderly Conduct Charges Dropped
Disorderly conduct charges can be dropped from a range of factors such as mental incapacity, self defense, being a minor, or acting under duress or in self-defense. You could also have the charges be dropped if it is found out that you were not the one that caused the problem. A great example of this would be cops arresting everyone in a drag race event but you did not cause it, so in that case the charges will be dropped.
