Orange County Prescription Fraud Lawyer

Prescription Drug Fraud Defense Attorney in Orange County

Not all drug crimes pertain to controlled substances such as marijuana, cocaine or heroin. Prescription drugs are also often involved in drug crime charges, and a primary example are prescription fraud crimes.

As an Orange County criminal defense attorney with over 25 years of experience in this field, I am experienced in dealing with prescription drug fraud crimes as well as other types of drug offenses. As an attorney, I have noticed the increase in prescription drug crimes and cases in general throughout Southern California. Many years ago, most drug crimes involved illegal narcotics. Today, many involve prescription drugs as well, such as OxyContin, Vicodin, Valium, Xanax and Demerol.

Sentences for prescription fraud crimes are often as severe as those for illegal narcotics. For this reason, and the fact that you may face a state prison or county jail sentence, you will need to consult an experienced Orange County defense lawyer or attorney in order to get a clear idea of what you are up against and what you can do to avoid imprisonment. These charges are serious and should be handled only by a lawyer who has the know-how and proven track record to handle the case.

Types of Prescription Fraud

Prescription fraud may be committed by counterfeiting blank prescriptions, stealing blank prescriptions, altering a valid prescription, or using influence as or with a medical professional in order to illegally obtain a prescription. These crimes may be committed by a pharmacist, doctor, teenager or adult. Senior citizen prescription drug crimes have been on the increase as well, when an elder trades his/her painkillers for cash in an attempt to make ends meet.
