The maximum penalty is likely 4y for possession of opioid and a $500 fine for possession of paraphernalia. If your prior felony were for narcotics, then that fact may change the maximums. Otherwise, the outcome is likely probation. However, each prosecutor and judge may view a particular case's facts differently. A harsh prosecutor may seek jail, a harsh judge may give it, and it would be a legal sentence.
I offer a free initial consultation.
