possesion, larceny 4th degree and possesion of a pellet gun in a motor vehical

My son(22yrs) who was recently arrested for shoplifing(4th degree larceny), possion of 5 vials of heroin and a pellet gun in a motor vehical. Over the last month he has also been stopped in his car for suspicious activity w/ no arrests or tickets. he was arrested one other time(3 yrs ago) for having fireworks and beer by a minor and received accelerated rehab/community service. He is a good kid ,has a great job and since his arrest has gone into a out patient drug program. What can we expect in court and should we get a laywer? I would hate to see the good things he has going for him destroyed. Thank you.

The charges you have mentioned are serious and carry jail time if convicted. Based on this, I would recommed hiring someone to help your son obtain the best result. I certainly would not recommend he represent himself. If you need further help, you can email me at [email protected].
