Disorderly Conduct

Ocean City Disorderly Conduct Lawyers

Criminal Defense in Ocean City, Annapolis & Across Maryland

In Maryland, disorderly conduct is a common charge defined and penalized under Section 10-201(c) of the Criminal Law Article of the Maryland Code. This offense typically involves actions in public places that disturb the peace, obstruct traffic, hinder passage into public buildings, or fail to obey a reasonable official order at a scene of emergency.

While disorderly conduct may not seem serious, a conviction can negatively impact your life. You may have to pay hefty fines or be subject to possible jail time, especially if your conviction is a repeat offense. You will also have a permanent criminal record that could hinder future life opportunities, from employment to housing, financial advantages, and more.

Disorderly Conduct Charges in Maryland

Disorderly conduct occurs in “public places.” This can encompass a broad range of locations that are generally areas open and accessible to the public, irrespective of whether they are owned publicly or privately.

Examples include:

  • Streets
  • Sidewalks
  • Parks
  • Schools
  • Restaurants
  • Shopping malls
  • Certain parts of residential buildings, such as hallways and lobbies

Cars and buses can also be considered public places under certain circumstances. The interpretation of a "public place" can vary depending on the case’s specifics, further underscoring the need for legal advice when facing disorderly conduct charges.

  • "With Warren Price by your side, you can walk into court with confidence knowing you have the best representation possible."

    Mr. Price represented me in a Domestic Violence case. After a little over a year, the case against me was dismissed. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Price and his office were incredible in communicating and seeing my needs. With Warren Price by your side, you can walk into court with confidence knowing you have the best representation possible.

  • "Warren works really hard for his clients and cares deeply about them."
    Warren works really hard for his clients and cares deeply about them. For Warren, it is not just a job, but a calling. He is a man of great character and is also a brilliant lawyer, with a top-notch education. If someone needs a criminal defense lawyer or UCMJ counsel in Colorado, I cannot think of anyone I would highly recommend.

  • "They helped me through the most stressful year of my life and ultimately proved my innocence."

    Mr. Murphy and Mr. Price were the first attorneys I ever worked with. They took time to explain each aspect of my case and made themselves available whenever I needed them. They helped me through the most stressful year of my life and ultimately proved my innocence. I would highly recommend their firm. Not only are they great attorneys, but I would also consider them my friends.

    Mr. Murphy is top-notch. One of the best I've ever dealt with. He is absolutely knowledgeable. And has a fierce competitiveness and drive to win. He's not afraid to tell you not to do something if it could hurt your case. He always has your best interest at the forefront. Nothing phony about this guy!

  • "He was very knowledgeable in both criminal and military law and most importantly he was so passionate, very organized, respectful, and kept me updated on my case."

    I hired Mr. Murphy in the last second of administrative discharge. He gathered the evidence in a very short period of time because he knows a lot of people except, relationships with other lawyers. He was very knowledgeable in both criminal and military law and most importantly he was so passionate, very organized, respectful, and kept me updated on my case. I believe he is a great attorney and he deserves more than 5 stars.

  • "This is not just a job for Mr. Price but a passion. His attentiveness and care cannot be taught."

    If I had not hired Mr. Price for my case I am certain that I wouldn’t have had the same outcome. The way he understood my concerns and fought to get my voice heard by the prosecution was more than I could have ever asked for. This is not just a job for Mr. Price but a passion. His attentiveness and care cannot be taught in an institution. His character is not something you can buy with just any attorney. Thank you so much for accomplishing the impossible. Thank you for your heart and determination. Thank you for fighting for me and most importantly thank you for granting me peace. You’ll never know what a blessing this has been for me and my family. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
