Re: disorderly conduct
dont take a criminal conviction on this!!!
plead not guilty and ask for a pretrial date...you can ask then for a non-criminal conviction...
if you ultimately plead no contest, that plea cannot be used against you in a civil trial....otherwise, whatever happens in the criminal matter will not affect the person's right to sue you later....
she has two years to decide whether to sue you...
feel free to call me directly if you have more questions.....216.952.1990
