    Default Second Offense for Drug Possession

    I live in New York, suffolk county. I got caught about 2 years ago and got ACOD but it is sealed now. I got caught 2 nights ago with about a gram and a half but on the ticket there is no description. Is it wise to go in with a lawyer the first time to avoid going back, and will this make it easier for the judge to give me a smaller fine? I've done research and the maximum they can give me in New York is a $200 fine with no incarceration, is this true?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Default Re: Second Offense for Drug Possession

    If you're not going to identify the statute or ordinance you're cited with violating, I'm not going to guess at that so I can further guess as to the possible sentence or how many court hearings you'll have.

    It can't hurt to go in with a lawyer, and it's generally a good idea to consult a criminal defense lawyer.
