What Is Disorderly Conduct in Massachusetts?

Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 272, Section 53, Disorderly Conduct refers to behavior that knowingly disturbs the peace, causes public alarm, or disrupts public order.

You could be charged with Disorderly Conduct in Wellesley for actions such as:

Public fights or confrontations
Loud or offensive language in public
Blocking sidewalks or public entrances
Public intoxication that causes a disturbance
Refusing to comply with police orders

Because this charge is subjective, law enforcement often misinterprets behavior or overreacts to minor incidents. Me and my team will carefully review your case and build a strong defense to challenge the allegations against you.

Penalties for Disorderly Conduct in Massachusetts

Although Disorderly Conduct is a misdemeanor, the penalties can still have lasting effects on your life:

First Offense: Up to 6 months in jail and a $150 fine
Second or Subsequent Offense: Up to 1 year in jail and increased fines
Probation or Community Service: Courts may impose counseling or service requirements
