Is it even worth fighting a first offense DUI case? Since they now offer ARD?

I am reminded of a client who hired me because "I just need a little help getting through the ARD process." Within a few short minutes at the preliminary hearing, the charges against her were dismissed because it was abundantly clear that the officer lacked probable cause to stop her. The DA Offered careless driving. We rejected the offer. The DA conceded and had the charges withdrawn never to be refiled.

A good defense attorney will look for the "defense" before recommending ARD.
