Phoenix Lawyer: Illegal Prescription Drug Crime Defense
Possessing and distributing prescription narcotics illegally can result in a felony charge, with a penalty of up to five years in prison, if convicted. Addiction and abuse of prescription drugs is rapidly becoming one of the leading drug crimes in Arizona. Every year, thousands of people are arrested for prescription drug crimes. Photocopying scripts and forging doctor's signatures, selling prescription pain killers such as Percocet, Vicodin and OxyContin on the Internet, or using prescription medications to manufacture dangerous pharmaceuticals such as methamphetamine — all of these are becoming commonplace. If you have been charged with a prescription drug crime, you will need an aggressive defense to help you avoid the most serious penalties that result from a conviction.
