Prescription Fraud and Forgery
Amongst the many types of charges that may accompany prescription drug charges is prescription forgery. Oftentimes in forgery and prescription fraud cases, an individual may be accused of stealing a prescription pad from a doctor's office in order to forge a prescription and illegally obtain prescription drugs. We are committed to defending your rights in these cases and actively pursue a lesser charge or dismissal of the charges. In some instances, the individuals charged are doctors and nurses whose professional licenses and very livelihoods are at stake.
If convicted on a prescription drug charge, you may be facing punishments such as jail time, fines, restitution and the loss of your professional license. Nevertheless, it may be possible to negotiate with the prosecution and secure a plea that includes time in a rehabilitation facility instead of going to jail.
Also, before you or a loved one pay any bail, get in touch with our firm to discuss how we may be able to seek a bail bond reduction on your behalf.
