Friedman, Eric C. Nemecek, Eric F. Long, and Madelyn J. Grant, the firm defends clients facing state and federal drug offenses.

Possessing 100-200 grams can result in 30 days imprisonment and $250 fines, while larger quantities and sales charges risk years in prison. The firm notes that drugs like methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and illegally obtained prescription medications face even harsher penalties, with most drug crimes charged as felonies carrying substantial prison sentences and fines ranging from $2,500 to $20,000 depending on felony degree.
