Prescription Drug Fraud Lawyer in Athens
Prescription Fraud Jail Time in Georgia
Whether an individual alters the quantity of pills on a legitimate prescription or steals a prescription pad and forges prescriptions, seeking to obtain prescription medication through fraudulent means is a serious crime. Pharmacies are on the lookout for prescription fraud and will contact the police if the prescription looks fake or photocopied.
As a felony offense and depending on the circumstances of the fraud, the punishment for prescription drug fraud could include:
- Up to 10 years in prison
- Up to $50k in fines
The effects of a felony prescription fraud conviction are long lasting. Many convicted felons are unable to gain employment in certain fields, vote, own firearms or even travel outside of the United States.
