Charged with Disorderly Conduct, Disturbing the Peace, or Trespass in Milford? 

We’ll Help You Put It Behind You — Fast.

In a town like Milford, a single bad moment shouldn’t define your future. Whether things got out of hand during a family dispute, you were asked to leave a property, or police accused you of making a scene, charges like disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, or trespassing can suddenly put everything at risk — your job, your family, and your record.

At DeGiacomo & Mikhlin, P.C., we represent real people facing real stress in Milford District Court. Our goal is simple: protect your rights, resolve the charge quickly, and keep it off your record whenever possible.

You shouldn’t have to pay for a mistake — or someone else’s assumptions.

What These Charges Really Mean

These are all public order offenses under Massachusetts law. That means police can — and often do — file them during emotionally charged or confusing situations, even if no one was hurt.

Disorderly Conduct (M.G.L. c. 272, § 53)

You can be charged if police believe you were:

• Acting aggressively or disrupting others in public
• Yelling, arguing, or refusing to cooperate during a stop
• Creating a scene, even if you didn’t intend to

Disturbing the Peace (M.G.L. c. 272, § 53)

Often overlaps with disorderly conduct. In Milford, this might include:

• Arguments in neighborhoods or parking lots
• Loud confrontations that draw attention
• Being in the wrong place at the wrong time

Trespass (M.G.L. c. 266, § 120)

This charge covers more than breaking into property. It’s often filed when someone:

• Is asked to leave a business or property but doesn’t move quickly
• Walks somewhere off-limits (like school grounds or restricted areas)
• Lingers after an argument or public incident

Are These Charges Serious?

They can be. All three can carry:

• Up to 6 months in jail
• Fines and court costs
• A permanent criminal record
• Problems with your job, immigration status, or driver’s license
• Increased scrutiny if you face future charges

We understand what’s on the line — and we’ll help you get ahead of it before it spirals.

How We Handle These Charges in Milford

Our approach is practical and proven. We’ll:

• Investigate what really happened and whether police overreacted
• Argue that your actions didn’t meet the legal standard
• Push for dismissal or continued without a finding (CWOF) if you're eligible
• Look for diversion programs or informal resolutions to avoid court altogether

We know how to work with local prosecutors and judges to get fair results — especially for first-time offenders or those with strong personal or family obligations.
