Q: If I get a ticket for a disorderly persons offense, how likely will it be for me get my license suspended or get tim
A: Not very likely. I would recommend you try to plead it down to be safe
A: I do not understand how the other attorney could say not likely when we know nothing about your case your prior history or even the court that you are in. All any attorney should tell you without knowing these facts is that a disorderly persons offense has up to 180 days in jail thousand-dollar fine probation and community service to be determined by the court. What you will get will be determined by the factors outlined above.

A: Some disorderly persons statutes like drug offenses or driving under influence with kids in car carry suspensions, but DP's like assault and theft or shoplifting does not. It depends on the statute. Regarding time it depends on your prior record. If it's third shoplifting then odds are very high. If it's your twentieth arrest then you may go away for that too even if it's discretionary some Judges may want to put you in jail.
