Disorderly Conduct Defense in Atlantic County, NJ

In New Jersey, criminal charges are graded first-degree, second-degree, third-degree, fourth-degree, disorderly persons, and petty disorderly persons, with first-degree crimes being the most serious and petty disorderly persons offenses being the least serious. A disorderly person and petty disorderly person offense is the equivalent of what other states refer to as a misdemeanor. These types of charges are handled in municipal court and cover a wide variety of lower-level offenses, such as minor thefts and assaults.

Disorderly conduct, on the other hand, is a specific offense that you can be charged with. It is graded as a petty disorderly persons offense and covers a broad range of activities. From being drunk in public to causing a public disturbance, some seemingly minor poor decisions can easily result in this broad-ranging charge.
