PRESCRIPTION FRAUD DEFENSE ATTORNEYS
Many people believe that certain drugs cannot be abused because a doctor has prescribed them. However, prescription drugs are very powerful and highly dangerous substances that can lead to addiction. Once an addiction has formed, it is not unusual for illegal measures to be taken to obtain the medication. Nevertheless, drug offenses such as prescription fraud are very serious, and can result in heavy repercussions including a permanent criminal record and imprisonment.
At The Law Offices of John F. Marshall, we understand how stressful it can be to face these types of punishments. If you have been charged with a prescription fraud, our job is to defend you and explore each and every possible approach to relief. Our lawyers have over 60 years of combined experience working in the criminal law field, and two of our attorneys have even worked as former prosecutors.

We have built a strong record of success by putting this experience to work in each of our criminal cases. Therefore, if you have been charged with a prescription fraud offense, we will provide you with the best defense possible.
