Failure to disperse is a misdemeanor.
If you're convicted, you could face up to six months in jail.
Here at Shouse Law Group, we have
represented a number of people.
We've defended a number of people over the years
who are charged with this offense-- many times
in connection with marches and political demonstrations--
and we've had a lot of success in these cases.
So it may be a situation where the police did abuse
their power and you were merely exercising
your constitutional rights.
It may be a situation where you were
a mere bystander at a riot or an unlawful assembly,
but you weren't really taking part in it.
Or it may be a situation where the police ordered
you to disperse and you tried to,
but they never really gave you an opportunity.
If you're in this situation, we invite you to contact us here
at Shouse Law Group.
Tell us the circumstances.
We'll see what we can do to get the charges reduced
or dismissed.
