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.
