The Most Prevalent Drug Dealer Is Now The Medicine Cabinet

Many people are getting prescription drugs out of the family medicine cabinet, or stealing them from friends and neighbors. There are also hundreds of cash-only pain clinics, that will work with a pharmacy to dispense these drugs without a thorough medical examination.

Most arrests for possession of prescription drugs involve people who do not have a prescription. You can be arrested for possession of prescription drugs if you do not have the prescription with you and cannot prove your prescription is legitimate.

The Harsh Penalties That Accompany A Prescription Drug Crime Conviction

Many people believe that the penalties for prescription drug crimes are lower because these drugs are given to people on a regular basis. This is not true. Depending on the type of drug in question and how much you had in your possession at the time of arrest, the penalties can be as high as 99 years in prison and $250,000 in fines. If you are an immigrant, there is a risk of deportation.

Ryan Hill will thoroughly investigate your arrest and the evidence the prosecution has against you. He will review video and audio recordings, and speak with witnesses, when appropriate. He will also look for possible instances of police error or misconduct during your arrest. He uses all of this to find the best possible outcome in your case and to protect your future.
