First-Offense DUI Resolved Through ARD Program

Our client was charged with a first-offense DUI as well as fleeing and eluding. Because of the fleeing and eluding charge, our client was not eligible for resolution of his case through the ARD program. Without getting into the ARD program, he faced mandatory jail time and a harsh driver’s license suspension. He came to our Pittsburgh DUI defense lawyers for help with his case.

We reviewed his charges and decided to file a specialized motion to attack only the charge of fleeing and eluding. The prosecutor agreed to drop that charge, which then allowed our client to be admitted into the ARD program for his first-offense DUI. He received no jail time and a significantly reduced driver’s license suspension.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
