A: Offers on cases can vary wildly based on the facts, the record of the defendant the prosecutor and the judge. Obviously this person is looking at felony time but if they have no record at all they still have a chance at probation if they have a past record of drugs they are more likely to do some prison time but as with any case there could be mistakes made by the police that could allow for suppression of evidence. My suggestion is to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney to represent this person.
