Fighting Charges of Prescription Drug Fraud

Under the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act and Racketeering statutes, prescription drug charges can relate to a wide range of illegal behavior. The government may try to accuse you of altering existing prescriptions, forging fake prescriptions, impersonating medical staff to call in a prescription or even stealing blank prescription forms.

Our Phoenix law firm also represents healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses and pharmacists, who are accused of involvement in illegal activities related to prescription drugs.
