Helping Clients in Missouri Restore Their Reputations

Disorderly conduct laws in the state of Missouri cover a wide range of seemingly unrelated, minor criminal offenses. Thousands of people are arrested in the city of St. Louis each year for disorderly conduct offenses, and although some criticize law enforcement for using these charges to deal with “annoying” suspects, a conviction can result in harsh penalties.

If you have been arrested for disorderly conduct, you need to take the charges against you seriously. Because disorderly conduct laws are broadly interpreted, you need the assistance of an experienced criminal defense lawyer. A skilled attorney can review the details of your case and determine a legal strategy that will establish your innocence.

Our legal professionals have the experience and resources that you need to fight your charges and restore your reputation. We will look at your case from all angles to see if your charges can be dropped or reduced.

Call (314) 827-6222 to get started on your defense strategy today.

Examples of Disorderly Conduct

The following are examples of disorderly conduct cases that we have helped clients overcome:

  • Lewd or dissolute conduct in a public place
  • Prostitution or soliciting sex for money
  • Loitering on private property
  • Squatting or living in a building without the owner’s permission
  • Drunk in public
  • Begging for money in a public place
  • Engaging in lewd acts in a public restroom
  • Using a camera or binoculars to look into a private structure
  • Fighting or using offensive language in a public place

What Are the Penalties for Disorderly Conduct?

Penalties for disorderly conduct vary from case to case and are determined based on the following factors:

  • The nature of the charges against the offender
  • The age of the offender
  • A person’s criminal history
  • The location of the offense

If you or a loved one are facing disorderly conduct charges, it can result in possible jail time and expensive fines. Additionally, a conviction for disorderly conduct will also appear on your criminal record, which will make it difficult for you to find gainful employment. Speak to the lawyers at our firm today to find out how we can defend your rights.

  • JMH law is the best in the business! Very pleased with the work they’ve done for me, I recommend them to everyone I know!

    - Trey F
  • I was driving pretty quickly in a work zone. What I thought would turn into a night in jail ended up as illegal parking and completing a DIP program virtually from home. Though every situation and outcome is different, the ease of the process alone was worth coming to JMH. Very professional and supremely helpful across the board. Thank you, JMH! Will refer you as often as I can!

    - Samantha S.
  • The JMH Law Firm handled my case quickly and made the process quite simple for me. They were my first call and will continue to be! Joseph responded to any questions I had and made sure I had any and all information that I requested! I’m grateful for the result, the fluid communication and their effective due diligence.

    - Marqual P.
  • Joseph is incredibly professional, responsive, and dedicated. He consistently provides clear communication and reassurance through every step. If you need a top-notch criminal defense lawyer, Joseph Harvath is your man!

    - Amanda W.
  • Joe helped me with a speeding ticket so I didn’t get any points on my license. Easy to work with and managed everything via phone/email with me, which was so convenient. He walked me through what to expect and the costs so I had no surprises. Highly recommend!

    - Katie H.
  • Had my first interaction with Joe this morning to take a look at a traffic ticket for my son who was at fault in a minor accident that we settled outside of insurance. Joe was easy to work with over the phone, and he made the process simple for us. He went above and beyond to get the case resolved in less than 3 hours. Even better was the unexpected surprise that Joe was able to negotiate to get my son's traffic citation completely dropped like it never happened! Never thought that was possible and now I won't hesitate to call Joe again if my family is ever needing an attorney in the future. Highly recommended.

    - Jonathan D.
  • I called around to a few agencies when I finally received my appearance in court letter and Joseph Harvath was by far the nicest attorney I spoke with. Exceptional customer service. He wasn’t afraid to educate me on the process either, which was far more than what the others I spoke with were willing to do. JMH took all the information needed from me right then and there on the initial call. Received a letter a week later with a new court date, that same day I received notification that it was all taken care of. I highly recommend if you want to fight any traffic violation almost hassle free.

    - Natalie N.
  • I’m grateful that I found Wayne to represent me. His years of experience and diligence in his job made me feel comfortable with him. It was a long drawn out process, and he kept me updated and would always make himself available for any questions that I had. I would highly recommend him if you are lucky enough for him to represent you.

    - Barry P.
  • Wayne has been amazing to work with!!! He handled my case professionally, kept me updated on my case very frequently, and always responded to me with urgency. I would 10/10 recommend him to friends/family. Thank you for everything Wayne!!!

    - Rachel F.
  • I’m incredibly grateful for the outstanding legal support I received! Wayne handled my case with professionalism, urgency, and genuine care. From start to finish, he kept me well-informed, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt supported through every step of the process. His communication was consistent, and his knowledge and confidence gave me peace of mind. Not only is he a great attorney—he’s also an all-around great person. I highly recommend him to anyone needing strong, compassionate legal representation.
