It will depend on the amount of cocaine and exactly what you are being charged with. Potentially, you could receive a sentence of more than 10 years.

Depends on lots of factors, but suffice it to say that you are probably facing some stiff penalties. Now is the time to hire a local criminal defense lawyer. If you can't afford to hire one, go to your court date and ask the judge to appoint the public defender.
