Prescription Fraud

Michael L. Fell defends patients and doctors accused of prescription fraud.

Have you been caught in possession of one of the following prescription medications?

• Vicodin
• Morphine
• Oxycodone
• Xanax
• Valium
• Adderall
• Ritalin

Simply producing a prescription may not save you. If police and prosecutors believe that your prescription was obtained by fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation, you could be charged with prescription fraud.

Common types of prescription fraud include:

• Possessing medication prescribed to someone else
• Visiting multiple doctors to get multiple prescriptions
• Forging or altering a prescription
• Misusing a prescription pad
