j0823 Hi,
I recently got a disorderly conduct involving alcohol consumption and argument. I have no prior record – clean background. This is my first offense. I have a court date set in about a month and a half. I am not familiar with this type of legal process and saw that you had some answers to some of the related postings on this topic. This occurred in New York.
Few questions are:
1) What would happen on court date? Do I need to plead guilty vs not-guilty, or will the court offer me some type of a resolution to get this dismissed?
2) How do I approach this case so that I do not have any record for future job application, etc? I understand that this is a violation only and not a crime.
3) Do I need an attorney for something like this? I read on some online q&a postings that they assign a court lawyer for you. Do I speak to this lawyer prior to my court date? I.E., how do me and the counsel interact prior to meeting the judge?
4) Any advice on getting a resolution for this would be helpful as I have a month and half until my court date.
Thank you in advance for your time.
J
