New Jersey Prescription Drug Attorney
Because prescription medications in the United States are often more expensive than many other countries, dealers sometimes illegally obtain prescription medications internationally, and then sell them for profit to American citizens, for a cheaper price than national drug companies. But it is important to remember that it is against the law to possess prescription medications without actually having a prescription for them, and being convicted of illegal possession of prescription medications can carry heavy penalties. Also, if you are being charged with selling prescription medications illegally, you may face severe legal consequences if convicted.
If you or someone you know is facing charges of illegally possessing or selling prescription medications, you should contact the experienced New Jersey prescription drug attorneys at the Law Offices of Jason A. Volet, LLC at 732-503-8968. We are dedicated to helping our clients avoid harsh penalties that are often associated with drug charges.
Types of Prescription Drug Offenses
Most states carry their own laws regarding the sale and possession of prescription drugs, and therefore penalties vary from state to state. Some of the most common prescription drug charges include:
- Illegal Possession
- Illegal Sale and Distribution
- Prescription Forgery
- Prescription Fraud
As with other drug-related crimes, penalties often become harsher if the individual has multiple convictions. In these cases, fines and jail time may increase significantly.
