Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Re: Disorderly contuct violation

I presume it was a disorderly conduct summons,if so you only need an attorney if you feel uncomfortable appearing by yourself. In most instances this offense carries with it no jail time. It is a violation and is generally resolved with a fine or community service. You may call my office for a free phone consultation @ 7188340087.

Re: Disorderly contuct violation

A disorderly conduct, P.L. 240.0, is a violation and not a crime... there will be no criminal record associated with such a plea. If i were you I would not hire an attorney, unless your intent is to try and beat the case completely and secure a dismissal... which may be possible given that the DA is offering you such a good plea.

There is usually a fine and a court fee associated with the 240.20 plea, and usually the court will give you quite a bit of time to pay... even over a month if asked for.

It is important, however, to ensure that you abide by any conditions of your plea because if you do not you may face potential jail time.

SOmetimes, however, the court will not permit you to enter a guilty plea unless you have an attorney present that has advised you of your rights.

Give this matter some thought, and decide how you would like to continue.
