Helping To Minimize Consequences

Drug Crimes

Ian N. Friedman & Associates, L.L.C. represents clients facing drug crimes charges such as:

  • Cultivation of marijuana or manufacture of methamphetamine
  • Distribution, trafficking or conspiracy to distribute any illegal drug
  • Unauthorized possession or sale of painkillers and other prescription drugs
  • Possession of drugs or paraphernalia in a motor vehicle
  • Drug abuse charges
  • Drug-related arrests during a period of probation or parole
  • Asset forfeiture proceedings involving cash, vehicles, or other property allegedly related to a drug offense

When applicable, we will help you minimize or avoid the consequences of conviction by challenging the circumstances of your arrest, execution of the search warrant, or traffic stop of a motor vehicle. For first offenders, we strive to get cases referred to Drug Courts, which focus on community-based drug treatment programs and rehabilitation as a constructive alternative to punishment.

If the facts of your case point toward conviction of a municipal, state or federal offense, we do everything possible to find sentencing alternatives that will keep you out of state or federal prison. This can be achieved by negotiating with the prosecution toward a mutually acceptable guilty plea, or through a well prepared, persuasive presentation to the court at a sentencing hearing. Of course, if the matter should not be resolved by way of a plea bargain, this team will be prepared for trial.

If you have been contacted by the FBI, DEA, ATF or the police about a drug crime, we strongly advise that you answer no questions, make no statements and provide no information until you have an experienced drug crime attorney representing you. 

Every Cleveland criminal defense attorney at Ian N. Friedman & Associates LLC believes in an aggressive, intelligent legal representation for our clients.
