York County Criminal Defense Attorneys

Guiding First-Time Offenders through the ARD Program

Sometimes, you deserve a break. In Pennsylvania, the criminal justice system recognizes this fact, and has created the Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition, or ARD, program. ARD allows some first-time offenders in the criminal justice system who are accused of minor crimes to avoid criminal conviction. Upon successful completion of the ADR program, the criminal charges against you will be dismissed.

If you have been accused of a minor crime and want to find out more about the ARD program come to the law firm of Kearney & Marshall, PC in York, Pennsylvania. We represent people who have been accused of all types of criminal offenses, including those who may be eligible for the ARD program.

Representing People in York County Exclusively

The terms of the ARD program vary from county to county. At Kearney & Marshall, our criminal defense attorneys average more than 20 years of experience each, and we only represent people in York County, Pennsylvania. Accordingly, we have extensive experience with the York County ARD program, and we understand both the official rules and unofficial guidelines for the program here.

Admission into the ARD program is subject to the discretion of the York County district attorney. We understand the factors the York County district attorney will likely consider when determining your eligibility for the program. We can guide you through the appropriate procedures to increase the chances that you will be admitted to the ADR program.

Before You Make a Decision, Get an Education

Before you make any decisions regarding your case, make sure that you are fully informed regarding your options and the potential consequences of your choices.

At Kearney & Marshall, we view our initial consultation as an opportunity to educate you on the substantive and procedural aspects of your case. We will take the time to explain your charges in detail, answer all of your questions and to ensure that you understand your options. The fact is, with many minor criminal matters, a little education may be all you need to effectively handle your criminal defense representation alone.
