New York City Disorderly Conduct Lawyers

There are times when a disorderly conduct charge may be warranted. This may be true if someone engages in threatening behavior, unreasonable noise, or abusive or obscene language. However, in other cases, police will make disorderly conduct arrests merely because a person exercised his or her rights as a citizen or challenged the conduct of a police officer.

At the Midtown Manhattan criminal defense law firm of Goldberg & Allen, LLP, we have seen countless individuals wrongfully arrested for disorderly conduct. Police officers might use this type of charge as an excuse to put their hands on you or as a catch-all charge if they want you off the street, but you haven’t actually broken any laws.

A Criminal Conviction Hurts Your Ability to File a Police Misconduct Lawsuit

However, a disorderly conduct conviction may hurt your ability to recover money damages from the police department.
