Potentially, yes. And the chances get better the sooner it's voluntarily paid back before any plea or ARD determination.

Best of luck to you. If you'd like to further discuss this case, feel free to contact me offsite.

Yes, depending on the county. If it is Bucks County, if the amount is over $2,000, it becomes a felony which usually makes you ineligible for ARD.

I am a former prosecutor and I have handled over 3,500 ARD cases, both as a prosecutor and defense attorney. If you have any questions, give me a call at 215-639-5297 and I would be more than happy to speak with you about your case.
