How much does the ARD Program Cost?

I am often asked, "How much does the ARD Program cost?" In fact, it is probably the most frequently asked question on my website, http://www.CentralPennDUIDefense.com.

Generally, the County will charge between 1200.00 and 2000.00 in "program fees." These fees are most-often non-refundable. Thus, if you are removed from the ARD Program, you will not receive a refund.

Many people consider ARD an easy way out for a first offense DUI. That is simply not the case. ARD is not a gift. ARD is the lesser of two evils.  it is best to have an experienced DUI Defense attorney, such as myself, review your case.  To receive a free case evaluation click here:   www.DUI-Case-Evaluation.com

There is a rumor that ARD is a do-it-yourself project that involves the filing of an application and a couple of court appearances. While it is true that you can apply for ARD by yourself, it is foolish to not have a full and fair case evaluation by a qualified and experienced DUI Defense Attorney such as myself. In fact, the minimal legal fees required for an ARD Representation are an investment that could prove quite rewarding.

While representing a client in Franklin County, PA, I found that the officer lacked probable cause to stop her vehicle. The client, from California, had traveled to Central PA expecting to apply for ARD, return to California, and then make a return trip to Central PA when she was to be entered in the program. She was both surprised and relieved when the charges against her were dismissed completely.

The fact that you have been arrested for DUI (in her case, the BAC was estimated to be over .16%) does not mean that you will be found guilty, nor does it mean that you should accept ARD without first evaluating all of the facts.

I was happy to help her and I will be happy to help you.
