Frequently asked questions.
Common questions about DUI charges in York County, PA — courts, ARD eligibility, license suspensions, and what to do after an arrest.
Do all York County DUI cases go to York? Yes — the preliminary hearing is at the MDJ office covering the arrest location, but every DUI is bound over to the York County Court of Common Pleas at York County Courthouse in York for ARD, plea, or trial.
How does York County's ARD program work? ARD (Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition) is a first-offender diversion program. Successful completion results in dismissal and expungement. Eligibility depends on your prior record, BAC tier, and the District Attorney's criteria in York County. We can assess your eligibility in a free consultation.
What are the penalties for a first-offense DUI in Pennsylvania? Penalties depend on your BAC tier. General Impairment (.08–.099): typically ARD-eligible, no jail. High BAC (.10–.159): 48-hour minimum, 12-month suspension. Highest BAC (.16+) or refusal: 72-hour minimum, 12–18 month suspension, ignition interlock.
Am I eligible for ARD on a first DUI? Possibly. Pennsylvania's Act 58 of 2025 changed the ARD lookback rules — a prior ARD from more than 10 years ago may now count as a prior offense for ARD eligibility purposes. Attorney Quinlan will review your full history before making any eligibility assessment.
What happens if I refused the breathalyzer or blood test? Refusal triggers a civil license suspension through PennDOT — separate from the criminal DUI penalties — and the prosecution can use your refusal against you at trial. The criminal charge and the civil suspension need to be defended at the same time.
How much does a DUI lawyer cost? Attorney Quinlan provide flat-fee representation for most York County DUI cases. Pricing are discussed during your free consultation — no surprises.
