Felony DUI Expunged After ARD Program

Our law firm was contacted by a 25-year-old man that was pulled over in West Moreland County after he attended a local music concert. Our client was arrested and charged with several serious criminal charges which included: resisting arrest, DUI, speeding, and careless driving. Our client faced thousands of dollars in court fees, mandatory jail sentencing of over one-year, the suspension of his driver’s license and a permanent criminal record of multiple misdemeanor and felonies that would affect his future career and education.

Our Pittsburgh DUI lawyers worked hard to represent our client against these serious charges. Our attorneys successfully negotiated with the Commonwealth and secured the dismissal of the misdemeanor resisting arrest, misdemeanor speeding, and misdemeanor careless driving charges against our client. Our attorneys negotiated the opportunity for our client to attend the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program for the DUI charge and only receive six months of supervised probation. We were also able to successfully negotiate for our client to have this DUI charge expunged from his permanent record after the completion of the ARD program and the six months supervised probation period. Our client successfully completed both the program and the probation period and the DUI charge was expunged from his permanent record protecting his future from the impact of a DUI conviction.
