Phoenix, Arizona, Prescription Drug Fraud Defense Lawyer
Prescription fraud charges against individuals
Prescription drugs can become addictive. If you have been on painkillers such as Percocet or Vicodin, you may understand how hard it is to break your body of the need after the prescription has run out. Every year, thousands of people are charged with prescription drug crimes such as forging a doctor's script or Medicare claims fraud. In many cases, the addiction drives the need, and the prosecution has a difficult time in proving that there was intent, beyond the addiction, to commit a crime. If you have been charged with prescription fraud because of an addiction, your attorney will need experience in challenging the prosecutor's evidence for intent, while building a strong, clear defense case to fight for having your charges dismissed or reduced. The Law Offices of Scott David Stewart has the experience you are looking for. In many cases, we may be able to help you avoid the penalties of a conviction by helping you get into an approved narcotics rehabilitation program that will include a conviction set-aside upon successful completion.
Health care worker fraud
Health care providers often come under intense legal scrutiny for their practices regarding prescription medication on their Medicare claims. Prescription fraud cases are complicated, requiring an in-depth technical understanding of the health care reimbursement systems of private insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid. If you are a doctor, nurse or pharmacist charged with prescription fraud, you will need to know that your criminal defense attorney has the experience and resources to attack the prosecution's case and thoroughly investigate and prepare a strong, clear case for dismissal, acquittal, or a reduction of the charges.
