Disorderly conduct is a criminal offense that can occur in various contexts beyond public drunkenness and is commonly seen in Burlington County Municipal Court. The New Jersey Disorderly Conduct law applies not only to misbehavior but also to the use of inappropriate language that creates an unsafe environment. If charged with such conduct in Mt. Laurel, Burlington, Maple Shade, Willingboro or any other town, Spodek Law Group offers experienced legal representation.
Our former municipal prosecutors have handled thousands of disorderly conduct charges over the years, and they offer extensive knowledge and expertise in defense to any charge under N.J.S.A. 2C:33-2. Contact our attorneys at 856-234-8900 for a free consultation or an in-person meeting at our Mount Laurel Office.
N.J.S.A. 2C:33-2 classifies disorderly conduct under two violations, both of which are disorderly persons offenses. The first type covers improper behavior endangering personal safety, including engaging in conduct that creates hazardous or physically dangerous conditions serving no legitimate purpose or violently behaving in a turbulent or tumultuous way which if done purposely for public inconvenience may constitute a misdemeanor charge.
The second kind of violation concerns using “offensive language” publicly unaccompanied by actual physical harm but which can offend the listener’s sensibilities and can disturb public peace.
Being a disorderly persons offense under N.J.S.A. 2C:33-2 still earns a person a criminal record though it carries lesser penalties than other offenses do. A conviction could bring about fines exceeding $1,000, a probation period, up to six months in county prison and suspended driving privileges, depending on the gravity of the case.
At Spodek Law Group, our Burlington County Criminal Attorneys can help you handle disorderly conduct cases with a maximum jail time of six months and fines up to $1000. A conviction can follow through as a criminal record furthering lasting negative influences on your life. Our experienced team offers aggressive representation intending to offer the outcome for our clients verbally and behaviorally.
