Prescription Drug Fraud Lawyer in Olathe

Johnson County Drug Crimes Defense Attorney

Over the years, Martin Law Group has defended numerous clients charged with prescription fraud. In many cases, defendants are accused of prescription fraud due to allegedly altering the numbers on the physical prescription sheet. For example, the police claim that the original prescription was for 30 pills, not the 130 pills the prescription now says. Other times, the allegation is that there was no valid prescription in the first place and that the doctor’s name on the prescription is a forgery.

If the prescription was for a pain killer, this especially raises the attention of law enforcement or the pharmacists who reported the incident. If you have been accused of, charged with, or are under investigation for prescription fraud, call our law firm right away to speak with an experienced drug crimes defense lawyer. We could provide the representation you need to have your charges reduced or dismissed.
