Have You Been Accused Of A Prescription Drug Crime?

Not infrequently people become addicted to prescription medications that were legitimately prescribed for them as a result of some sort of serious physical injury or illness that leaves them suffering and in pain. When the doctor cuts-off the prescription or reduces the dosage for fear of addiction, the patient finds illegal sources for the prescription medication to ease his or her pain and satisfy his or her addiction.

Other people simply become addicted to prescription medications as a result of recreational drug abuse.

Some others simply are found carrying their legally prescribed narcotic medication in something other than its original container.

In any case, prescription drug charges involve serious criminal penalties including potentially lengthy jail sentences. With effective legal defense in appropriate cases, charges may be resolved with a diversionary program that not only avoids jail-time but also avoids a conviction, if successfully completed. Depending on your circumstances and the facts of your case, we will work hard to help you get the treatment and support you need to minimize, if not avoid completely jail time and a conviction.
