Re: 1st offense possesion
In answer to what charges you face, heroin and cocaine charges would most likely be felonies and you could face significant jail time if you have any kind of drug record.
You really should fight this. You may have a good case to get the charges thrown out if an attorney could show that the police illegally searched you. It sounds like you may have cause to win a motion to suppress.
Most importantly, you do need an attorney. My office could definitely handle your situation. Contact me office if you'd like to set up a consultation and talk through your case.
