In most counties, a summary appeal will result in a different charge. However, you should be aware that a different charge may not be in her best interest.
With an Underage Drinking Citation, she will lose her license for a period of 90 days. However, if this is her first offense, she should be eligible for an Occupational Limited License (OLL) to get to and from school/work.
In addition, she will be able to expunge her record when she turns 21 (perhaps before she leaves college).
With a Disorderly Conduct conviction, she must wait 5 years before she may expunge her record. In 5 years, she will have graduated college and entering the job market.
The Associates, Senior Attorneys and Staff of my firm represent individuals charged with DUI throughout Pennsylvania. In every case, including those eligible for the ARD Program, we always perform a full and fair evaluation of your case.
