“Criminal Lawyers who defend Phoenix Disorderly Conduct charges are often successful in getting the charges dismissed by using some of these common defenses.”

A person can be charged with Disorderly Conduct in Phoenix AZ under ARS 13-2904 if with intent and knowledge they disturb the peace of another person business. The law is strict, and allows for a broad range of conduct to fall within the classification. Charges are very common but penalties are serious. The charges can be brought as misdemeanors or felonies. The decision as to how they will be classified based on the facts surrounding the incident. Disorderly Conduct charges are frequently challenged by criminal defense lawyers because of their subjective and sometimes vague nature. They are often able to get the charge dismissed to lack of sufficient evidence, or witnesses.

Disorderly Conduct Defenses

  • Get more than one quote:  You can expect to get a wide range of quotes since there are no governing entities that require attorneys to charge a certain price. It is not uncommon to get quotes for a Misdemeanor DUI anywhere from $1500.00 to $7,500.00. With that keep in mind, that price is not a reflection of the competency or effectiveness a DUI or criminal lawyer to defend your case.  Many other factors contribute to a law firm’s decision on fee schedules. Some factors include overhead and operating costs; advertising costs; competition; and geographical area.
  • Understand global fees: Global fees structures are those that encompass the cost of both pre-trial and trial defense services. Global fees are usually much higher than flat fees. Before you agree to enter a global free agreement, you should know the differences and some statistics: Only about 2% to 3% of all Gilbert DUI and criminal cases end up going to trial. In perspective, that means 97% to 98% of cases are resolved, or dismissed without a trial. Then, if a trial is not needed, the Law Firm still keeps the entire global fee. No refunds. In all fairness, that is not to say charging global fees is a bad thing; some people prefer this structure, because it gives them peace of mind, in knowing they will not have to pay additional attorney fees for a trial if it is needed.
  • Understand flat fees: Flat fees arrangements are usually lower than global fees. They are “tiered”. The first tier includes a flat attorney fee for pre-trial services. If resolved in that tier, no additional fees are owed. If an unresolved case results in the need for a trial, there will be a separate fee, which is the second.  Those that chose this fee structure, prefer to pay the lessor flat fee, with the odds significantly in their favor (97% to 98%) that they will not need a trial. Make sure the separate tier fees are included in the fee agreement.

“If there was no “Probable Cause for Arrest”, a good Phoenix criminal defense attorney may be able to get your Phoenix DUI charges dismissed.”

“Probable Cause” for Arrest Standard

“Probable Cause” to arrest is a higher standard than “reasonable suspicion” to stop someone to for DUI or criminal charge investigation. The “Probable Cause” standard is a right that originates from the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Fourth Amendment requires that warrants and arrests be supported by “Probable Cause”. In other words, if no “probable cause for arrest” existed, then the arrest was unlawful; an unlawful arrest is a violation of your rights.
