Drunk & Disorderly Criminal Defense Attorneys On Your Side
|
Drunk and Disorderly behavior also known as Disorderly Intoxication is an alcohol offense that is extremely common. These offenses occur when a person’s conduct ascends to a level that causes a violation of the peace, may disrupt the society or cause a public safety concern that results from intoxication. Simply being intoxicated in public is not against the law, but causing a disturbance while under the influence is. The crime of drunk and disorderly is usually classified as a misdemeanor and it is important to have a skilled criminal attorney defending you against such charges in order to ensure your best interests are represented.
This crime is sometimes referred to as "Drunk in Public" as well. And the term "public" is usually defined to mean, a city street, sidewalk, restaurant, recreational area and any other place open to the public. Violation of this act in itself will not always result in the arrest of the individual. In order to be convicted, the state must prove that the individual had surpassed the level of intoxication and is a public nuisance to themselves or others. The drunk in public defense attorneys at Terani Law Firm will fully investigate the circumstances surrounding your arrest, making sure your rights are fully defended.
