First Offender DUI/DWI/DAI in Philadelphia PA ◦ ARD Program
If your DUI/DWI/DAI arrest was your first, you may qualify for the Accelerated Rehabilitative Discharge (ARD) program. ARD is a program offered in Pennsylvania that is designed to keep first-time offenders out of the criminal justice system if possible.
Upon completion of ARD, your case will be completely resolved. Driver's license suspension, if any, is kept to a minimum. You will have no criminal record.
In sum, the government offers you the chance for a speedy resolution to your drunk driving arrest, which you are well advised to accept in good faith. An experienced attorney can guide you through the ARD process with as little disruption to your life as possible.
Stay out of jail. Protect your clean record. Retain your driving privileges. Contact Rubin, Glickman, Steinberg and Gifford, P.C., to schedule a free initial consultation after a first-time DUI arrest.

Marriages may be strained and one's good name can be tarnished forever.
