Let us help you take back control.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is Prescription Drug Abuse?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prescription drug abuse occurs when a person uses a medication that was either not prescribed to them, or uses it in a way that is outside of the prescription order itself. There are many reasons why a person may be using these substances, including dependency.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is Prescription Drug Fraud?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prescription drug fraud is a term used to describe numerous types of actions involving the use of prescriptions in an unlawful manner. In a broad sense, it applies to any situation in which a person attempts or obtains a controlled substance or knowingly procures or attempts to procure it with some type of fraud.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Examples of prescription drug fraud can include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Forging prescriptions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Selling prescriptions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Increasing the quantity of a prescription<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Running a &#8220;pill mill&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Engaging in kickback programs with providers or others<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Billing insurers, including Medicare\/Medicaid\/TRICARE, for prescription drugs that a provider did not prescribe<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Billing for different amounts of prescription drugs than provided<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Billing for medications not picked up or delivered<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Billing for expired drugs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Charging for more prescription medication than provided to the patient<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Generally, prescription fraud charges are considered <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/josephhollander.com\/kansas-city\/criminal-defense\/white-collar-crimes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">white-collar crimes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, as they may be committed by professionals with access to the medications.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Criminal Charges Stemming from Fentanyl<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fentanyl is a highly addictive and incredibly potent opioid. It is generally prescribed for palliative care, or for the pain associated with advanced cancers. Legally manufactured fentanyl can be diverted in health care settings via direct theft, illicit distribution, or fraudulent prescriptions. It can also be manufactured illegally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Missouri and Kansas, our criminal defense attorneys in Kansas City provide aggressive defense strategies to clients facing charges like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Illegal possession of fentanyl<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trafficking<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Manufacturing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unlawful sale, distribution, or purchase<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Creating a danger in the manufacturing or production of a drug<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our defense attorneys in Kansas City represent people facing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/josephhollander.com\/kansas-city\/criminal-defense-attorney\/federal-criminal-defense\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">federal charges<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as well as state charges.

This includes using false information to obtain a prescription, claiming to be an authorized person or a physician, or forging prescriptions or drug labels. This is punishable by up to four years in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Missouri law also makes it illegal to distribute prescription drugs to anyone else. That means you cannot give your prescription to another person, even someone you know who takes the same medication. In cases where this is done at school or within 2,000 feet of any school, this class A felony.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are accused of possession, sales, distribution, manufacturing, trafficking, or any other illegal possession or use of a prescription that is not your own, contact a Kansas City <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/josephhollander.com\/kansas-city\/criminal-defense\/drug-defense\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">drug crime defense attorney<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> from Joseph, Hollander &amp; Craft immediately for guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How a Kansas City Prescription Drug Attorney Can Help<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Joseph, Hollander &amp; Craft, our top-rated <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/josephhollander.com\/kansas-city\/criminal-defense-attorney\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">criminal defense attorneys in Kansas City<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> bring skill, passion, and experience to your case.

Whenever possible, our objective is to create a defense strategy that makes it impossible for the prosecution to succeed with charges against you. Some potential defense strategies may include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Suppressing any evidence that was obtained in violation of your Fourth or Fifth Amendment rights;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Supplying proof that you were prescribed the medication legally and by a practicing physician; or<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Submitting evidence that your prescription pad was stolen or your signature was forged, either by pen or electronically.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When possible, our attorneys will take every step possible to get your charges dropped.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Negotiating a Better Deal on Your Behalf<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In some situations, it may not be possible to get charges dropped. If that is the case, we bargain for reduced charges or seek alternative sentencing up to the level the law allows. Many times, a plea deal may be available to help you avoid jail time or excessive fines.
