New York Prescription Drug Fraud Defense Lawyer

As recreational use and addiction to prescription-only medications have risen, they have fueled a rise in prescription fraud by those seeking drugs as well as by medical professionals supplying them.

Both the U.S. Attorney’s office and the New York Attorney General’s office are cracking down on doctors and pharmacists, while local law enforcement goes after street dealers and users. Any such crackdown always catches innocent people or results in low-level participants being overcharged.

Brill Legal Group, P.C., in New York represents anyone charged with prescription drug fraud or felony possession of a controlled substance. Our firm has helped clients throughout New York City, Nassau County and Suffolk County avoid conviction or escape the worst consequences.

Common Types of Prescription Fraud

We have represented adults and juveniles facing felony fraud charges for illegally obtaining prescription drugs such as OxyContin, Vicodin, Percocet, Xanax, Adderall, Ritalin or anabolic steroids. This includes situations involving clients who:

  • Stole prescription pads or forged prescriptions
  • Went doctor shopping and faking symptoms for prescription medication
  • Filled one prescription at several pharmacies

We have also defended physicians accused of writing fraudulent or excessive scripts; pharmacists accused of overfilling prescriptions, dispensing without a prescription or diluting drugs to sell them twice; and nurses or pharmacy workers stealing pills and selling them.

Prescription Drug Possession: A Felony Offense

Possession of prescription-only painkillers, sedatives or stimulants is a felony if they were not prescribed to you. This includes medications prescribed to a family member. It is also a felony to sell or deliver your prescribed drugs to another, including giving pills to a friend or relative.
