  • Unless the person holds a license or a permit issued pursuant to title 32, chapter 7, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 25 or 29, possess a prescription-only drug for sale.
  • Unless the person holds a license or a permit issued pursuant to title 32, chapter 7, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 25, or 29, possess equipment and chemicals for the purpose of manufacturing a prescription-only drug.
  • Unless the person holds a license or a permit issued pursuant to title 32, chapter 18, manufacture a prescription-only drug.
  • Administer a prescription-only drug to another person whose possession or use of the prescription-only drug violates this section.
  • Obtain or procure the administration of a prescription-only drug by fraud, deceit, misrepresentation, or subterfuge.

In addition, there are also fines, community service, as well as other penalties that may be accessed.

This crime usually involves falsified or forged information in order to obtain a prescription. Although prescription fraud crimes may not be quite as serious as some other drug crimes, you could still be facing jail or prison time, and a criminal conviction on your record.

These people are the real deal. I had a defensive incident that required their expertise. They not only walked me through things every step of the way, they were very good at let me ramble and work things out in my head to get it all straight. I've been with them for a few years now and this was the first time I needed this type of help and they were there for me. They do exactly what they say they will do when they are needed.

Joey N. Hamby, Esq really went above and beyond for my case. He answered my call in the middle of the night when I was unsure of how to handle the situation regarding a order of protection. after that, he followed up with the case. Joey ensured that all of my legal fees were taken care of and I was in the hands of a good attorney. He also continued to check up on me throughout the course of the time. afterwards, He followed up to ensure that I was satisfied with all service. I would highly recommend using him and A.O.R. and also understand that they do more than just protect you in shooting instances. It covers a lot more than just that. my legal fees would have been well in excess of eight thousand dollars. If I had to pay them out of pocket.

Attorneys for Freedom law firm represented a family member in a serious felony case that went to trial. The family member was facing possible decades in prison if convicted of the false allegations. While the family member was innocent of all the charges leveled against him, we used the expertise of veteran lawyers at Attorneys for Freedom to lead the way through the intricacies of the court system. After weeks of trial, he was found NOT GUILTY.
Joey Hamby and Andy Marcantel did an outstanding job in not only representing the family member in court but also researching all aspects of the case prior to trial. These two experienced trials tested lawyers spent hours with us in preparation to make sure they had all the facts in the case to defend the family member in the best possible way. Those hours paid off from not only working to select the best jurors possible and arranging the correct witnesses to testify on my son's behalf but also defending his rights before the judge and making a solid defense in front of the jury. We want to thank Joey and Andy for walking with us through this horrible ordeal and being at our side every step of the way.
In a serious felony case like this one, you want the best representation possible. We selected the absolute best in Attorneys for Freedom!
