Prescription Drug Abuse Defense

Prescription drug fraud cases usually involve a different type of defendant than cases of other illegal substances. However, law enforcement prosecutes them just as aggressively as it does more illicit substances. If you have been charged with prescription drug fraud or believe you are being investigated, it is important to have an attorney by your side who will protect your rights and defend you against the charges.

At the Baker Law Firm, our attorney helps people who have been charged with prescription drug abuse. The cases usually involve drugs such as:

• Percocet
• Vicodin
• Oxycontin/Oxycodone
• Xanax

Contact an attorney right away if you think you are being investigated or have been arrested for any type of prescription drug fraud. Call our Phoenix office at 602-889-6901 | 888-309-7736 to discuss your legal matter.

Ordinary people often become caught up in prescription drug abuse cases

Many of our cases involve people who have become addicted to painkillers or other drugs after an injury or illness; they are charged with writing fraudulent prescriptions in order to get medication. We also help people charged with committing some level of prescription drug fraud because they cannot afford to pay for their medications. Other clients include people charged with operating fraudulent schemes to obtain and sell prescription drugs. Whatever category you fall into, rest assured that our lawyer will mount a vigorous defense on your behalf and protect your rights.

Do not speak with law enforcement before consulting a lawyer about your situation; Do not grant a Police interview without a lawyer

Our lawyer urges people who are being investigated or have been arrested for prescription drug fraud, such as forged or fake prescriptions, to decline an interview with police officers or the DEA if they do not yet have an attorney. If the pharmacist seems to be behaving oddly, or if you have any hint that you may be under suspicion, seek the advice of a lawyer right away.

Our lawyer makes sure that people do not make incriminating statements to law enforcement officials. He makes sure that the police obtained the evidence against you legally. He refers clients to drug treatment programs; this often makes the difference between a jail term and probation term if you are convicted. It also helps you move forward with your life and face what lies ahead.
