Is it possible to get ARD for a DUI if I have a summary offense on my record?

It depends on the summary offenses, but generally the answer is yes.

ARD is not the right choice for everyone. It is not, as I heard a court say, a "gift." To be clear, it is the lesser of two evils. ARD has the following negative consequences: A license suspension for 30, 60, or 90 days, a disqualification of CDL privileges for 12 months, and the fact that an ARD admission counts as a conviction if you are subsequently charged with DUI within the next 10 years means that ARD should not be entered into without first having an experienced attorney review the case to make sure that ARD is the right choice for you.
