For people facing state drug crime charges in northwestern Pennsylvania or western New York, we'll explore the possibility of sidestepping the criminal justice system altogether through such alternatives as accelerated rehabilitative disposition (ARD in Pennsylvania) or adjournment in contemplation of dismissal (ACOD in New York).
ARD and ACOD amount to substantially the same thing — an arrangement with the prosecution to suspend action on the case against you for a period of time, sometimes with conditions that resemble those of probation. If you satisfy the conditions of ARD or ACOD while staying out of further trouble, the charges against you will be dismissed.
If necessary, we can also prepare your defense on the merits, first by working toward suppression of the evidence against you, and then by preparing your defense for trial. It will be your decision whether to accept a plea offer or present your case to a jury. Our lawyers will give you the information and advice you'll need to make the choice that best protects your interests.
