What to Do After a DUI Arrest in Bucks County

For most people, the day after the DUI arrest is very stressful.  You are not sure if you will go to jail, lose your license, or maybe lose your job.  It is best to contact an experienced Bucks County DUI defense lawyer right away.

When we speak, I will gather as much information about the circumstances of your DUI arrest as possible.  Then, I will calmly go over the likely outcomes of your case.  Many of the resolutions do not involve jail or a significant driver’s license suspension.

What I Tell Most First-Time DUI Clients

Do not panic.  The majority of first-time DUI offenses in Bucks County can be resolved without getting a criminal record or losing your ability to drive.  For most second and third DUI offenses, house arrest is usually an option.  In other situations, a legal defense like an illegal car stop, or improperly performed field sobriety tests may help you avoid a DUI conviction.

How a DUI Case Moves Through the Bucks County Courts

A Bucks County DUI case moves through five main stages: a preliminary hearing at the local magisterial district court, drug and alcohol assessment, formal arraignment at the Bucks County Justice Center in Doylestown, a pre-trial conference where most cases resolve through ARD or a plea offer, and, in contested cases, trial.

Most cases take 4 to 6 months from arrest to resolution.

Charges Filed and the Preliminary Hearing

The first stage of the case occurs when the police file the DUI charges in the local magisterial district court that covers the area where the arrest took place.  The majority of Bucks County DUI cases proceed by summons, which you will receive in the mail, directing you to appear for a preliminary hearing.

The paperwork will include a hearing notice identifying the date and time of your preliminary hearing, the criminal complaint (also referred to as the “charge papers”), and a Fingerprint Order.

On the preliminary hearing date, I can challenge whether the prosecution has enough basic evidence, what Pennsylvania law calls a “prima facie” case, to move the case forward.

The preliminary hearing is often the most important strategic decision point in the case, and it takes place within weeks of your arrest.

If you are applying for ARD, you must waive the preliminary hearing to be considered for the program, and the application must be submitted in court on the preliminary hearing date.  If you miss the ARD application deadline, you may be disqualified from the program permanently.

CRN Evaluation and Alcohol Highway Safety Program Requirements

The mandatory Court Reporting Network (CRN) drug and alcohol evaluation is scheduled after the preliminary hearing and takes place at one of three state-approved treatment centers: Livengrin Foundation, Family Service Association of Bucks County, or The Council of Southeast Pennsylvania.

Drivers charged with refusing chemical testing, drivers with a prior DUI, and drivers with both alcohol and drugs in their system will be required to complete a full drug and alcohol evaluation in addition to the initial assessment.  After the evaluation, you will be required to complete alcohol highway safety classes and drug and alcohol treatment, if recommended.

Formal Arraignment at the Bucks County Justice Center

The formal arraignment takes place at the Bucks County Justice Center in Doylestown, PA, and occurs approximately four weeks after the preliminary hearing.  The main purpose of the formal arraignment is to place you on notice of the charges against you and to inform you of your constitutional rights within the criminal justice system.

Pre-trial Conference and Resolution of the DUI Charges

The next scheduled hearing in the case is the pre-trial conference which occurs approximately six weeks after the formal arraignment.   Initial approval or disapproval of the ARD application will occur before the pre-trial conference.  Many cases resolve through ARD admission, or a plea agreement to some or all of the charges at the pre-trial conference.

Bucks County DUI Trial

In Bucks County, cases proceeding to trial are placed on the “trial list” at the first scheduled pre-trial conference.  Typically, the judge sets the trial date about ninety days after the pre-trial conference with a separate deadline for pre-trial motions.

The majority of cases that are listed for trial resolve within twelve months of the initial arrest and are tried before a judge (bench trial) or a jury.  Common DUI pre-trial motions include a Motion to Suppress Evidence due to an illegal vehicle stop, an illegal seizure of a driver, or an unlawful search of a person or property.

What to Expect in Court: From Your Preliminary Hearing to the Bucks County Justice Center

Your First Court Date Is Not at the Justice Center

Your preliminary hearing takes place at the Magisterial District Court that covers the area where you were stopped, not at the main county courthouse in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.  Bucks County has eighteen district courts.

These are small, informal courtrooms where the police officer, prosecutor, and defense attorney meet in the lobby or in a conference room to negotiate the charges and to signal whether the hearing will be waived or whether the charges will be contested.  It is not what most people imagine when they are told they are required to appear in court.

If the preliminary hearing is waived, the appearance before the judge in the courtroom is brief and mostly involves paperwork: bail amount and conditions, contact information for the CRN evaluation, the waiver of the hearing itself, and notice that your case is moving to the Bucks County Justice Center for formal arraignment.

The courtroom part is quick because the real decisions were made during the hallway conference before the judge ever took the bench: whether to waive the hearing, apply for ARD, or contest the case.

When Your Case Moves to the Bucks County Justice Center in Doylestown

About four weeks after your preliminary hearing, you will receive a written notice (and text messages) to appear at the Bucks County Justice Center for your formal arraignment.  Your appearance at the formal arraignment can be waived if you are represented by a lawyer and your lawyer files a waiver of arraignment at the clerk of courts office.

Every court hearing after the preliminary hearing takes place in this building, including pre-trial conferences, ARD court, and trial.  The Bucks County Justice Center is located at 100 N. Main Street, Doylestown, PA 18901.  There is a multi-level parking garage behind the Justice Center at the intersection of Broad and Union Streets as well as on-street parking.

Everyone entering the Justice Center must pass through a metal detector after placing their keys, phone, wallet, belt, bag, and other personal belongings in a container that is x-rayed. On busy mornings, the lines can stretch outside of the building, so I always advise my clients to arrive at least a half hour before their hearing is scheduled.

All criminal hearings are scheduled in courtrooms on either the third or fourth floor of the Bucks County Justice Center.  Important documents such as the criminal information, the guilty plea colloquy, and the probation rules and regulations are reviewed and signed outside of the assigned courtroom before the judge enters the courtroom.

Once the doors open, last-minute plea negotiations between the defense lawyer and the prosecutor take place at the front of the courtroom before the judge takes the bench.  After more than 20 years of practice in the Bucks County courts, there is very little that can happen in court that I won’t be prepared for.

The deadlines in a Bucks County DUI case are unforgiving and require that you have a clear understanding of your options.  When you call, I’ll tell you exactly where your case stands in this process and what has to be decided before your next court date.

Important Decisions That Must Be Made Early in a Bucks County DUI Case

Several important decisions made during the first weeks after a DUI arrest can significantly affect the outcome of your case.  Before deciding whether to apply for ARD or fight the charges, consider the following:

• Should you apply for ARD?
• If you refused chemical testing (chemical test refusal), should you appeal the driver’s license suspension? (PennDOT imposes a 30-day deadline to file the appeal)
• How will ARD or a conviction affect your commercial driver’s license (CDL)? If you hold a CDL, the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office requires you to surrender your CDL if you are accepted into ARD
• Does the prosecution’s evidence have significant legal or factual weaknesses that make fighting the charges a better option than accepting ARD?
• Should surveillance video be retrieved before it is erased or discarded?

Am I Eligible for ARD in Bucks County?

Most first-offense DUI offenders in Bucks County are eligible for ARD, but acceptance is not automatic.  In fact, most first-offense DUI cases in Bucks County resolve through Pennsylvania’s ARD program, and successful completion ends in dismissal and expungement of the DUI criminal record.  Under Pennsylvania law (75 Pa.C.S. § 3807), you cannot be admitted into the ARD program for a DUI if:

• A passenger in your vehicle was under 14 years old at the time of the offense
• Your DUI involved an accident in which another person was killed or seriously injured
• You have a prior DUI conviction or ARD admission for DUI within the last 10 years

In addition to these ARD restrictions, the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office may deny placement in the ARD program if:

• You have a prior conviction for a non-DUI misdemeanor or felony offense or a prior non-DUI ARD admission
• You did not have a valid vehicle registration or car insurance at the time of the offense
• You were driving with a suspended driver’s license
• You caused an accident resulting in bodily injury to another person, even if not serious
• Your DUI case involved leaving the scene of an accident
• You were charged with resisting arrest in addition to DUI
• Your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was 0.30% or above and you did not enter alcohol counseling after your arrest

If one or more of these issues apply in your case, don’t assume that ARD is automatically off the table.  I have secured ARD for clients with complicating factors, including accidents with significant property damage, by addressing the District Attorney’s concerns before they lead to a denial.

The ARD application must be submitted on your preliminary hearing date, just weeks after charges are filed.  You must waive the hearing to be considered for the program.  Issues like these need to be addressed before that date.  Call me at (215) 752-5282 and I’ll tell you where you stand on ARD and what needs to happen before your hearing.

What Does ARD Require in Bucks County?

In Bucks County, ARD for DUI requires six to twelve months of court-supervised conditions before your charges are dismissed and automatically expunged.  ARD conditions typically include:

• Six to twelve months of non-reporting probation.  The District Attorney will shorten your ARD to six months if all program conditions are met and the $1,100 preliminary ARD payment is made before your ARD court date.
• Program costs and fees.  In addition to the initial $1,100 fee, expect to pay the balance of approximately $1,000 within one month of the hearing date.
• The CRN evaluation and alcohol highway safety school classes.  Both are mandatory, and drug and alcohol treatment will be required if the evaluation recommends it, including intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) or general outpatient treatment (GOP).
• Community service.  The Bucks County District Attorney requires that you complete ten hours of community service at a charity or non-profit as a condition of the program.  Habitat for Humanity is an example of an acceptable charity to satisfy the community service requirement.
• Restitution if your DUI involved an accident and property damage.  Payment for property damage or other financial losses connected to the DUI is a standard condition of admission to ARD.
• A driver’s license suspension based on your BAC, your age, and the facts of your case.  Under 75 Pa.C.S. § 3807(d), there is no suspension if your BAC was less than 0.10%.  The suspension is 30 days if your BAC was at least 0.10% but less than 0.16%.  The suspension is 60 days if your BAC is 0.16% or higher, if your BAC is unknown, if your case involved an accident with bodily injury or damage to a vehicle or other property, or if you were charged with DUI involving a controlled substance.  The suspension is 90 days if you were under 21 years old at the time of the offense regardless of the chemical test results.

If you complete every condition by the end of your ARD probation, the District Attorney dismisses the charges and processes the expungement automatically.  In most cases, the expungement is fully completed within four to five months after your probation ends.

Completing ARD is manageable, and most of my clients finish it without any problems.  But before you waive your preliminary hearing or pay your first program fee, make sure ARD is actually your best option.

In some cases, the prosecutor’s evidence is weak enough that fighting the charge is worth it.  Once you accept ARD, though, most of your leverage is gone.  Call me at (215) 752-5282 for a free case review before your court date.  I’ll tell you in one phone call whether you should take ARD or fight your case in court.

Should I Accept ARD or Fight My DUI Charges?

For the majority of first-time DUI offenders, application and acceptance into the ARD program is the right choice.  ARD allows you to avoid a conviction, jail, shortens any driver’s license suspension and allows you to avoid a permanent criminal record.

But ARD is not the best choice in every case, and choosing to apply for ARD should be an informed decision, not an automatic one.

What Should a Lawyer Review Before You Accept ARD?

Applying for ARD requires you to waive your preliminary hearing, and with it, an early opportunity to challenge the evidence and begin building your defense.  Before you give that up, I examine whether the prosecutor can actually prove the charges, including whether any of your constitutional rights were violated.

I review whether the police had a legal right to stop you, whether you were unlawfully detained, whether the field sobriety tests were properly conducted, and whether the blood evidence was correctly drawn, handled (chain of custody), and analyzed.

When the BAC is close to the legal limit, I also determine if the chemical test results fall within the margin of error.  Blood alcohol concentration testing has a scientifically recognized margin of error, one that even the prosecution’s own expert toxicologists acknowledge.  I have had DUI charges dismissed or reduced when the blood tests fell inside the margin of error.

If I discover that the evidence has a serious weakness, fighting the case can end in a dismissal or not guilty verdict.  That is a much better result than ARD, with no program costs, no community service requirement, and no driver’s license suspension.

Do I Need a Lawyer for ARD in Bucks County?

You are not required to have a lawyer assist you with applying for ARD in Bucks County, but doing so without one carries real risks.  The ARD application is not just paperwork; it requires you to give up critical constitutional rights you can’t get back, including the right to test the government’s evidence and your right to a speedy trial.

Applying for ARD means waiving the same preliminary hearing where weak cases get dismissed.  I have seen unrepresented drivers apply for ARD at the preliminary hearing in cases where the magisterial district judge would have likely thrown the case out entirely.  Examples include:

• Without explanation or notice, the police officer who made the arrest failed to appear for the preliminary hearing
• The prosecutor’s lab report indicated that the blood alcohol concentration was below the legal limit of 0.08%
• The BAC was low, there was no evidence of impaired driving, and the driver successfully completed some of the field sobriety tests

Having a lawyer is critical when your case has complicating factors.  Was your insurance or registration expired?  Did you get proof of renewal before the preliminary hearing?  If your driver’s license was suspended, do you have proof that it has been restored?  If an accident occurred, can you provide the prosecutor with proof that your auto insurance covered the damage?

Addressing these concerns before the application is reviewed is often the difference between rejection and acceptance.

Finally, ARD has consequences that are easy to miss, including CDL surrender, possible secondary license suspensions for out-of-state drivers, and mandatory drug and alcohol treatment, if recommended.

Before you waive anything, call me at (215) 752-5282.  I’ll tell you whether ARD is the best strategy in your situation and whether your case has any issue that could get the application denied.

Does ARD Count as a Prior DUI Offense in Pennsylvania?

Yes.  Under Pennsylvania’s newest DUI law, ARD counts as a prior DUI if you are arrested for a new DUI offense within 10 years after finishing the ARD program.

Here’s why.  In 2025, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled in Commonwealth v. Shifflett that ARD did not count as a prior DUI for sentencing because ARD does not involve an admission of guilt or a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

But Pennsylvania lawmakers passed a new law that reversed that decision.  On December 22, 2025, Act 58 took effect.  It created a new charge: DUI Following Diversion (75 Pa.C.S. § 3802(h)). Under the new law, a prior ARD becomes an element of the new offense rather than a sentencing factor.

The new law works like this:

• If you finished ARD for a DUI and get arrested for a new DUI within 10 years, you are charged with DUI Following Diversion.
• The penalties are the same as for a second, third, or subsequent DUI: mandatory jail time, mandatory fines, a driver’s license suspension, and an ignition interlock device requirement.
• The state keeps DUI records, including expunged ARD cases involving DUI, for 12 years, but only for use in sentencing.  An expunged ARD will not show up on a background check.

An ARD on your record doesn’t mean that your case is already decided.  The new law is only months old, and its proof requirements have only begun to be tested in the Bucks County Criminal Courts.  The District Attorney must now prove your prior ARD as an element of the offense with proof beyond a reasonable doubt, the highest legal standard in our court system.

If you completed ARD and are facing a new DUI charge, contact me before you assume the worst.  Call me at (215) 752-5282 and I’ll check whether you are outside of the 10-year clock, whether the prosecutor can prove your prior ARD, and whether you fall under the new DUI Following Diversion law.

Common Bucks County DUI Defenses

The evidence in every DUI case is different, and no single defense applies in every case.  After defending DUI cases throughout Bucks County for more than 20 years, I have found that the following defenses arise most often:

• The police stopped you without a legal basis
• The police illegally prolonged the traffic stop without reasonable suspicion or probable cause
• The police improperly administered the field sobriety tests
• The prosecution lacks sufficient evidence to prove impairment, such as when there is no bad driving, a low BAC, or satisfactory performance on one or more field sobriety tests
• The police or crime lab made mistakes in handling, storing, and analyzing the blood evidence
• The Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) made mistakes during the evaluation or reached unsupported conclusions about your impairment

How Much Will a Bucks County DUI Lawyer Cost Me?

Affordable Bucks County DUI Lawyer: Flat Fee Pricing

I handle all DUI cases through an affordable flat fee, so you’ll know the cost before deciding whether to hire me.

My fee depends on whether it is a first or repeat DUI, whether you qualify for ARD, and whether the case will be contested and require pretrial motions or a trial.  The cost of a first-time DUI eligible for ARD will be significantly less than a contested case involving a first, second, or third offense DUI.

A DUI conviction comes with costs you can’t control including, fines, court costs, a permanent record, suspension of driving privileges, and sometimes loss of employment.  My flat fee is the one number in the case that you will know with certainty.

Serving Clients Throughout Bucks County

My office is in Langhorne, but I defend clients charged with DUI throughout Bucks County, including Bensalem, Bristol, Doylestown, Falls Township, Levittown, Newtown, Trevose, Warminster, Yardley, and surrounding boroughs and townships.

I regularly appear in every Magisterial District Court in Bucks County and in the Bucks County Justice Center.  As a result, I understand when the prosecution has a strong case and when the evidence falls short.

My experience in the Bucks County courts helps me identify potential defenses and explain what you can realistically expect at each stage of your case.

Why My Experience Matters When Choosing a Bucks County DUI Lawyer

After defending more than 1,500 DUI cases over the past 20 years, I have learned not to overlook even the smallest details.  Many DUI cases are won or lost on details that other lawyers dismiss as unimportant.

Throughout my career, I have cross-examined drug recognition experts (DREs), pharmacologists, toxicologists, Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE)-trained police officers, and accident reconstruction experts.

I look for issues that many lawyers never investigate.  In one DUI trial, I proved that the investigating police officer had already called a tow truck before stopping my client for suspected DUI.  The evidence showed the officer had already concluded that my client was impaired before making contact with him, and the judge found my client not guilty.

Recent Bucks County DUI Case Results

• First-offense DUI with a car accident involving significant property damage: Approved for ARD first-offender program
• Second-offense DUI (3rd tier-highest BAC, 90-day mandatory jail): Charge changed to first tier lowest BAC (received 5 days house arrest) after client completed alcohol counseling
• Client found not guilty of DUI after Suppression Motion Granted: State Trooper went outside the mission of the original traffic violation stop without reasonable suspicion or probable cause of a crime. Evidence of the subsequent DUI arrest suppressed by the court
• Client charged with a first-offense DUI with a BAC slightly over the legal limit.  Case dismissed after a defense expert showed that the BAC was within the margin of error and below the legal limit
• Client found not guilty of DUI after I proved the Bucks County Crime Lab did not properly handle the blood sample used as evidence

What I Look for When Evaluating a DUI Defense

I begin every DUI case with a careful review of the police reports, supplemental reports, my client’s account of what happened, witness statements, lab reports, body-camera, dash-camera video, surveillance video, and every other available piece of evidence.

Rather than looking for one specific defense, I reconstruct the events of the DUI investigation in chronological order, almost as if I were watching the events unfold frame by frame.

I begin with the officer’s observations before the traffic stop and then carefully examine every stage of the investigation, including the vehicle stop, field sobriety tests, the arrest, chemical testing, and the handling and analysis of the evidence.

Through hard work, I have learned that important details critical to the defense are often buried in police reports, accident reports, laboratory reports, or in surveillance video the police fail to collect, recover, or review.

Once I identify those facts, I determine whether they support one or more of the common DUI defenses discussed above.  As an experienced Bucks County DUI defense attorney, I know how to use those facts to defend your case.

DUI Penalties in Pennsylvania

One of the biggest mistakes that many DUI clients make is assuming that the police, friends, or relatives who work in law enforcement can accurately predict what the penalty will be in your DUI case.

In reality, Pennsylvania DUI penalties often depend on facts that are not known until your lawyer reviews the evidence and conducts a full investigation of your case.  DUI penalties can include fines, court costs, driver’s license suspension, ignition interlock requirements, probation, and jail.

Learn more about Pennsylvania DUI penalties, including how prior offenses, blood alcohol concentration (BAC), drug impairment, and chemical test refusals affect possible penalties.

Before you assume the worst-case scenario, let me review the evidence, your prior record, and the strength of the government’s case.

First-Time DUI in Bucks County

In my experience, most first-time Bucks County DUI clients have never been arrested before.  They may have received a few traffic tickets but no serious offenses.   After a DUI arrest, they assume the worst: jail, loss of their driver’s license, and loss of their job.

In many cases, none of these things happen.  When I first speak to a client, I separate their realistic concerns from unrealistic panic.  I help clients understand the issues that will actually affect the outcome of their case.

Most first-offense Bucks County DUI cases end without jail and without a permanent criminal record.  Depending on the circumstances, some drivers are able to avoid a significant driver’s license suspension.

Can I Get a DUI in Bucks County with a Medical Marijuana Card?

Yes.  Many people mistakenly believe that the police cannot charge you with DUI if you possess a valid Pennsylvania medical marijuana card.  Unfortunately, Pennsylvania law does not provide an exemption from DUI prosecution simply because you are authorized to use medical marijuana.

Fortunately, many of the same DUI defenses that apply in alcohol cases may also apply in medical marijuana DUI cases.

Medical marijuana DUI cases present unique legal and evidentiary issues.  Standardized field sobriety tests were developed to detect alcohol impairment, not marijuana or other controlled substances.

In addition, many police officers who investigate medical marijuana DUI cases are not certified as Drug Recognition Experts (DREs), which can make their conclusions about drug impairment less reliable in court.

DUI versus DWI in Bucks County: What’s the Difference?

There is no legal difference between DUI and DWI in Pennsylvania.  Pennsylvania uses the term driving under the influence (DUI) rather than driving while intoxicated (DWI).  Although other states use “DWI,” both phrases generally refer to the same type of impaired driving offense.

People may search for “DWI lawyer” because they have heard the term used in a different state.  If the police charged you with DUI in Bucks County, however, your case will be prosecuted as a DUI under Pennsylvania law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I Lose My License After a DUI in Bucks County?

It depends on how many prior DUI convictions you have, whether you refused chemical testing, what level of drugs or alcohol was in your system, and whether an accident causing bodily injury occurred.

Many drivers are surprised to learn that they are eligible for an ignition interlock driver’s license immediately or after serving part of a suspension.

Can a DUI Charge Be Reduced or Dismissed in Bucks County?

Yes, in certain cases.  DUI charges can be reduced or dismissed when the prosecution lacks sufficient evidence to prove drug or alcohol impairment beyond a reasonable doubt.

Examples include an unexplained failure of the police to conduct chemical testing, improperly administered field sobriety tests, a lack of evidence that the driver was impaired, or a blood test result within the margin of error.

Charges can also be reduced or dismissed when the police conducted an illegal car stop, obtained a confession through coercion, or detained a driver without a legal basis.

DUI charges can sometimes be reduced when the driver completes drug and alcohol counseling while the charges are pending.

How Long Does a DUI Case Take in Bucks County?

Typically, 4 to 6 months assuming the case does not require a trial.  Most Bucks County DUI cases require several court appearances, including a preliminary hearing, formal arraignment, plea negotiations, and in some cases ARD if approved by the district attorney and the court.

DUI cases that go to trial usually resolve within 12 months.

What Happens if I Refuse a Blood Test in Bucks County?

Under Pennsylvania’s implied consent law, a refusal to submit to chemical testing will result in a 1-year driver’s license suspension followed by a 1-year ignition interlock requirement if it is a first-time refusal.

Pennsylvania allows first-time refusal drivers to drive with an ignition interlock license after serving 6 months of the 1-year suspension, but it is not mandatory.

Refusing chemical testing can result in a suspension even if you later receive a separate suspension for the DUI case.

In Pennsylvania, your refusal to submit to chemical testing can be used by the prosecutor at trial as evidence that you were impaired.  Learn more about common chemical test refusal defenses.

Will I Go to Jail for a DUI in Bucks County?

It depends on your prior DUI record, the type and level of drugs or alcohol in your system, and whether you are eligible for ARD.  First-time DUI drivers who are accepted into ARD do not go to jail.

Repeat offenders and drivers convicted of higher-tier DUI offenses can face mandatory jail time.

Can I Get House Arrest for a DUI in Bucks County?

Yes, in many cases.  Eligible DUI offenders are often permitted to serve the mandatory minimum sentence at home rather than in jail.  In Bucks County, this program is referred to as restrictive probation with DUI conditions.
