Re: Dui
The simple answer is yes, jail time is mandatory for a first offense. However, there are alternatives, specifically the ARD program, which would allow your son to avoid any jail time. Also, given the low BAC reading, contesting the charges all together is certainly an option as well. Please call our office for a free consultation, we'd be happy to help, the contact information is available on our website.
Re: Dui
No he will not ahve to do jail time. We can probably get him into the ARD program in Bucks County which would result in no jail time and ultimately dismissal of the charges.
If you like to discuss this further, please contact me directly.

A good attorney provides options....
I can help you get the best available options. Please write back to discuss some of the details. I have been defending these cases since 1991, and I know all the ins and outs....this may even be a case we can win once I develop some more of the facts. My fees are reasonable.

The cases are fact sensitive. You should consult with an attorney. With the limited facts stated your son should qualify for ard which would avoid jail time. However your best be is to speak with an attorney.
