Strong Defense, Proven Success
Prescription drug crimes are occurring with higher frequency. With addiction being a significant factor in the increased demand for prescription narcotics, individuals are going to great lengths to obtain these drugs for personal use or for distribution to others. These prescription drugs often include:
- OxyContin/oxycodone
- Vicodin/hydrocodone
- Percocet
- Valium
- Xanax
- Vioxx
- Celebrex
- Ritalin
- Adderall
There are various measures most frequently used by those in possession or with intent to sell prescription drugs. These measures can include stealing blank prescription pads, forging doctors' signatures or photocopying prescriptions. Some even impersonate medical staff and call in prescriptions.
