    What is the definition of Disorderly Conduct in Connecticut?

    Can I get arrested for Disorderly Conduct in my own home?

    Yes. The most common way to get arrested for Disorderly Conduct in Stamford is when police show up after receiving a 911 Domestic Violence call. Almost always, one or both parties are arrested and given a summons to appear the very next business day at Stamford Superior Court, located at 123 Hoyt Street, Stamford, CT.

    Will I get a Restraining Order against me if I’m arrested for Disorderly Conduct in Stamford?

    This protective order can limit contact and can even kick you out of your home. Without a top Stamford Disorderly Conduct criminal lawyer to fight for you at your first court date, you may end up stuck with an overly burdensome protective order for weeks – or even months.
