A Solid Prescription Fraud Defense
Police and prosecutors simply do not care why you were in possession of illegal prescription drugs - they care about securing a conviction. At the law office of James S. Sweeney, we conduct an exhaustive investigation to determine what really happened and use our vast resources to build a compelling defense on behalf of our clients.
Questions we ask during a prescription fraud investigation include:
- Was our client driving another person's vehicle at the time of the traffic stop?
- Did the police violate our client's constitutional rights when they seized the evidence?
- Was the search warrant valid?
- Can the police proof beyond a reasonable doubt the intent to sell the sleeping pills or pain medication (Vicodin, Oxycontin)?
We will pursue the most effective course of action given the circumstances of your case. This may include negotiating for a lesser charge, or filing a motion to suppress if the evidence was obtained through an illegal search and seizure. If this is your first drug offense, you may be able to avoid jail by participating in a drug treatment or diversion program.
