Re: Disorderly Conduct

If you go with an attorney, this could usually be pled down to a lower fine and a lower penalty, possibly fine only. Contact my office for a free consultation.

Re: Disorderly Conduct

Disorderly conduct is better than an underage (underage carries a license suspension). The maximum fine for disorderly conduct is $300 plus costs (total around $470). If your total is $222, you already are getting a break. A lawyer will cost you more than you will save.
