Will my first offense remain on my criminal record?

If you decide to enter into the ARD program and successfully complete the program, you will be able to have the criminal charges dismissed and expunged from your criminal record.  The DUI will remain on your driving record permanently.

Please note: in Monroe County, the expungement petition is not automatically done when you complete the ARD program.  You must contact an attorney to file a Petition for Expungement.  Your case will not be dismissed and expunged unless and until a petition is filed.
