The McShane Firm is here to help guide you through the process. Don’t hesitate to contact us today for expert advice and legal assistance.
Pennsylvania’s laws on DUI are unique and can often seem severe to those encountering them for the first time. Pennsylvania is a ‘metabolite state’ for Schedule I drugs, including marijuana, which means any detectable amount of marijuana in your blood while driving is considered a violation. What’s noteworthy is that the state doesn’t need to prove you were impaired; the simple presence of marijuana in your system is enough for a charge.
However, first-time offenders have potential relief in the form of the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program. This pre-trial intervention program offers first-time offenders a chance to potentially have their charges dismissed and their record expunged, provided they successfully complete the program’s requirements. But gaining admission and navigating the intricacies of the ARD program require skilled legal assistance.
