Disorderly conduct is a ‘catch all’ type of misdemeanor that is frequently issued in situations where the conduct is quite possibly legal or at least not deserving of a misdemeanor conviction. Disorderly conduct tickets are fairly common in places that have a lot of young people consuming alcohol.

In many Michigan disorderly conduct cases we have been able to arrange charge dismissals either through plea agreements, delayed sentences or through other diversionary programs. Don’t let a disorderly conduct charge sully your criminal record – it may be avoidable.
