The Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) Program is designed to give first time, non-violent offenders an opportunity to pay their debt to society through a combination of counseling, various classes, interviews, paying back fines and court costs, and community service.
The ARD Program is unique because it allows defendants to have their records expunged as long as all terms and conditions of the program are fulfilled. However, when the current offense is the defendant's first DUI, the Court will accept an ARD petition for the current DUI even though there may have been a prior non-DUI ARD or a non-DUI conviction.
The Court will exercise its discretion to grant or deny the Petition depending on the nature of the prior offense, how recent it may have occurred, and any other factor(s) the Court deems relevant.
To apply for the ARD Program, please follow the instructions detailed below.
