The quality, experience and knowledge of the criminal defense attorney you pick to represent you in court will have a significant impact on what happens as a result of the arrest.

Second, third and fourth offenders for possession of heroin need the strong representation of a good criminal drugs attorney to manage their situation.  Sentences for second and subsequent offenders can be as high as five (5) years in state prison and require the skills of an attorney who knows how to negotiate the sentencing process.  Fines for possession of heroin can be as high as five thousand dollars ($5,000.00).
