Prescription drugs can be expensive. Using a fake drug prescription is also costly. It could cost you your security clearance, career, and child visitation and custody.
Fraud Is a Felony
In the Commonwealth of Virginia, prescription drug fraud results automatically in a felony charge. If you are charged with prescription drug fraud, you face severe penalties, including a possible jail sentence. I have more than 25 years' experience as a criminal defense lawyer in Fairfax County and across Northern Virginia, experience that includes aggressive representation of clients charged with prescription drug fraud and other drug charges.
Is There Enough Evidence?
As your defense attorney, I will evaluate every detail of your charge to determine which strategy can provide the best possible outcome. If the state does not have proper evidence or used improper procedures, I can negotiate with the prosecutor to get you a lesser charge - or possibly dismiss the charge.
Reducing Your Charge
For prescription drug fraud charges, there is the possibility of reducing your penalties. In these cases, the judge has the power to reduce your charge after one to two years. Several criteria must be met, including counseling.
I routinely advise my clients to comply with their sentencing to provide possible leniency. I have more than 25 years of experience defending prescription drug fraud charges. I can help reduce your charges and penalties.
