Facing a first offense marijuana DUI charge in Dauphin County can be intimidating, but it’s crucial to remember that you can take steps to protect yourself and your future. The McShane Firm is ready and willing to support you through this process, providing expert legal counsel every step of the way. Call us today to take that first step towards protecting yourself.
Understanding Pennsylvania’s unique DUI laws is the first part of your defense. Pennsylvania is a ‘metabolite state’ for Schedule I drugs, including marijuana. This means that it is illegal to operate a vehicle with any detectable amount of marijuana in your system, regardless of whether you’re impaired. The state doesn’t need to prove you were impaired; the mere presence of marijuana in your blood is enough for a DUI charge.
For those dealing with their first offense, there are options available to you, such as the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program. This pre-trial intervention program is designed for first-time offenders and could potentially lead to the dismissal and expungement of your charges, providing you fulfill its requirements.
However, navigating the complexities of DUI laws and the ARD program requires a skilled legal hand. This is where The McShane Firm steps in. Our team of attorneys specializes in DUI defense and boasts a deep understanding of Pennsylvania’s DUI laws and the ARD program.
