Gainesville Disorderly Conduct Lawyers
Providing Effective & Experienced Representation
If you have been charged with disorderly conduct, don’t worry; you are not alone. Disorderly conduct charges are among the most common misdemeanor charges due to their flexibility. Law enforcement officers will often arrest and charge individuals with disorderly conduct for a wide variety of reasons, including crowd control, even if no laws are being overtly violated.
The most common reasons a person may be charged with disorderly conduct include:
- Fighting
- Obstructing traffic
- Being drunk in public
- Loitering in certain areas
- Using extremely abusive or obscene language
- Making unreasonably loud noises after being asked to stop
- To disrupt a group of individuals who have assembled in a lawful manner
Since disorderly conduct charges can be brought in a vast range of situations, they are frequently used to justify arrests where there was little probable cause for the arrest in the first place. As such, an experienced criminal defense attorney will be able to effectively fight any and all charges of disorderly conduct.

Backed by decades of experience, our lawyers can effectively navigate you through the legal process while making sure your rights are fully protected.

About Disorderly Conduct in Florida
Being charged with disorderly conduct means that the individual in question deprived other people of their right to peace and quiet, or disturbed the peace. Since the definition is so general, there are many possible defenses to these charges, including self-defense, the act did not occur in a public setting, and the First Amendment right to free speech.
The general penalties that you may face include:
- Second-degree misdemeanor conviction
- Imprisonment for up to 60 days
- Fines of up to $500
However, if you are charged with inciting a riot or a public fight, the penalties may be more severe. Regardless of the circumstances or how serious the charges against you may be, we have the skill set needed to fight for you. You can trust our Gainesville criminal defense attorneys with all your legal needs.

When I was first looking to hire an attorney, I made contact with Dunham and Ingram first. They gave me great advice on my phone consultation and encouraged me to shop around and interview several firms and individuals. I went with my gut and the firm that gave me the best feeling and chose to hire Andy Ingram as my attorney. What I soon discovered is that Andy Ingram is amazing. I hired him to represent me in my case and was amazed with his results. Mr. Ingram worked on my case and kept me fully abreast of every development, the strategies for fighting my case and took the time to explain to me what everything meant. He was very mindful of my wallet and made the effort to exercise fiscal responsibility and not just see dollar signs. If you have a criminal case then I would encourage you to seek the guidance and expertise of Mr. Ingram. You will not be sorry that you did, if there is a positive that can come from your situation, he will find it and achieve it.Former Client

Divorce can be a tramatic experience for most people.Leading up to and during the experience a person feels many emotions such as sadness,loss betrayal and anger.I was feeling all of the afore mentioned feelings and more.In my search for an attorney I wanted someone who was tough and yet fair Someone suggested that I try Chris Dunham During my first meeting with him I knew Chris was who I was looking for.Chris led me through some tough times with a totally non uncooperative ex. I must say that his experience paid off I would highly recommend Chris and his staff at Dunham and Ingram I want to personally thank everyonr at his firm for making a terrible situation bearable Joe RaimoJoe R.
