Have You Heard About ARD?

If you have been charged with DUI/DWI or another alcohol-related offense, you want a lawyer who knows about alternate sentencing and ARD. ARD is a pretrial diversionary program in which you acknowledge your responsibility in exchange for a lesser penalty. You can avoid a criminal record if you fulfill the requirements of your ARD. It is crucial for your attorney to understand ARD because DUI convictions in Pennsylvania result in mandatory minimum sentences. ARD is a way to avoid these mandatory minimum sentences and may even allow you to avoid a permanent criminal conviction on your record.
