ARD For Musician Charged With DUI After An Accident in Philadelphia

Oct 07 2016, by Michael Fienman in Case Results, Criminal Defense, DUI

In Philadelphia, skilled DUI defense attorney Michael Fienman recently aided a local musician after he was involved in a car crash when police determined that he was above the legal limit to drive and charged him with a DUI. The man knew that based on the serious nature of DUI offenses if he was convicted, he would be burdened with a permanent criminal record and likely face long-lasting restrictions on his ability to drive. Therefore, he began looking for capable legal counsel and chose an attorney with considerable experience dealing with Pennsylvania DUI charges.

By choosing a proficient DUI attorney, this client was successfully admitted into the Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition (ARD) program. This option included a 30-day license suspension, a 12-month probation period, CRN evaluation and alcohol highway safety school, and upon completion, the DUI will be automatically expunged by the District Attorney’s office. In the end, this client was very pleased to move on without serious inconvenience or any lasting ramifications.

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.
