Michigan Prescription Fraud Lawyer
Prescription fraud is a criminal offense that involves using deception or misrepresentation to unlawfully obtain prescription drugs. This may be committed by stealing blank prescription slips, by forging information on a prescription slip, by altering a prescription or by creating counterfeit prescriptions. In doing so, the offender would obtain unlawful access to controlled substances that should be available by lawful prescription only from a licensed medical professional and prescribed to treat a real condition or illness.
Certain prescription drugs have a high potential for abuse and are therefore closely regulated by the government. If you have been accused of prescription fraud, waste no time in consulting and working with a Michigan criminal defense attorney at Freedman Law Group. Our attorney is here to help you fight your criminal charges, defending your rights every step of the way.
About Prescription Drug Crimes
