I understand this is a misdemeanor. Is it the prosecutors who will try to have the court give him maximum sentence? And if so, does it mean my friend will need a defense attorney to defend and argue that the sentence is too harsh?

its the judge, they will pretty much call all the shots in the case… he most likely does not need a defence attorney since it is his first offense and all…
Your friend would be better off with an attorney. You’ll have to research the best excuses possible and see if one matches your situation. Find something that will satisfy the judge. Ask for leniency, especially if there are no priors.
Definitely, your friend will need a defense attorney. I will suggest you take help from usalegalcare.com. They have got expert defense attorneys. I am sure they can solve your problem
All the best
