Lynnwood Domestic Violence Lawyer

Disorderly Conduct Charges

According to the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), there are many ways in which a person can be charged for disorderly conduct. In terms of domestic violence, the RCW states a person is guilty of disorderly conduct if he or she "Uses abusive language and thereby intentionally creates a risk of assault." You can also be charged with this offense if you intentionally disrupt a lawful meeting or assembly without having the lawful authority to do so.

In either case, the offense is a misdemeanor and can result in a permanent mark on your record, a fine up to $1,000 and a jail sentence of not over 90 days. Being charged with any crime, especially if it is your first time, can be a tough experience. The action of being taken into custody and the legal procedures that follow this are hard enough, let alone trying to figure out what to do next. This is where a determined Lynnwood criminal defense attorney may make a large difference in the outcome of your case.

Protecting Your Rights

Many times, cases of disorderly conduct are charged because of the reaction of a police officer to a person's conduct, rather than an actual offense. Sometimes, you feel that you have not had a chance to tell your side of what happened. In some instances, however, a person regrettably does something that that they now feel they should not have done.

As your advocate, I am here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. My concentration is always on understanding your needs and goals for your case while providing the hard-hitting, determined defense that you need. I work to get your charges dismissed, where possible or reduced, if feasible. A deferred sentence with the goal of eventual dismissal of your case is, at times, the best option, but when needed I fight hard at trial for your successful defense.
