Hiring a Defense Attorney for Disorderly Conduct in New York State

In New York State, disorderly conduct is a violation, which is not considered a crime.

Hiring a defense lawyer right from the start is good advice. An experienced attorney will protect your rights and will work to have disorderly conduct charges dismissed or reduced.

  • What is the difference between criminal procedure and civil procedure?
    When a crime has been committed, action is taken by a government agency against the person, persons, organization or other entity that violated the law. The first purpose of a criminal prosecution is punishment, which frequently consists of a fine or jail time. In a civil matter, the dispute is between two or more individuals or entities. The first purpose of a civil prosecution is obtaining compensation for the wronged person or entity. Settlement in a civil matter is generally an award of a money judgment. A criminal sentence is not imposed in a civil matter.
