How DUI Cases Are Handled in Bucks County
Bucks County Local Magisterial District Court (MDJ)
After a DUI arrest, your case usually begins in the local Magisterial District Court. At your preliminary hearing, a judge will decide if charges are dismissed, waived, or “held for court” and sent to the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas.
Bucks County Court Reporting Network (CRN) Evaluation
All DUI cases in Bucks County require a CRN evaluation to assess alcohol/drug use and determine if treatment is needed. You’ll be directed to schedule this evaluation with a county-approved provider.
ARD Program for First-Time DUI Offenders in Bucks County
If this is your first DUI and the case is non-violent, you may qualify for the Bucks County Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) Program. This program lets you avoid mandatory jail and, if completed, makes your record eligible for expungement.
Our attorneys can help in this process and in filing your ARD application.
Specialty Courts in Bucks County, PA
Bucks County also offers Recovery Court (similar to Drug Court) for high-risk/high-need, non-violent offenders with substance use issues. While not for every case, it can be a rehabilitation-focused alternative.

How Can a Bucks County DUI Lawyer Help You?
At Saadzoi Law, we examine every detail of your case, including:
- Challenging the traffic stop (probable cause/reasonable suspicion).
- Attacking test results (breath/blood test procedures, machine calibration, timing errors).
- Medical or prescription defenses for drug-related DUI cases.
- Negotiating ARD or reduced charges to minimize penalties.
- Protecting your license and navigating ignition interlock requirements.
Sometimes, good people make mistakes. However, if you’re convicted of DUI, you could end up facing harsh penalties such as jail time, loss of driving privileges, fines, or community service.
Additionally, your insurance rates can be increased, and you may even be shut out from some job opportunities due to your conviction. This is especially true if you are a licensed professional or hold a CDL.
Being charged with DUI does not mean you have been convicted. You have the right to dispute the charges or attempt to have them dropped or dismissed entirely.
