Possession of Prescription Drugs

Were you in possession of Percocet, Xanax, Valium, Oxycodine or any other prescription drug and now facing criminal charges?

If you are found to be in possession of a prescription drug but do not have a doctor’s prescription for that drug you could be charged with this criminal offense. The prescription drug should always be carried in the container that you received it in from the pharmacy or doctor’s office.

You may be facing a lengthy prison term depending on the dosage of the drug you were in possession of.

There are defenses to these charges. The facts of your case may allow for a dismissal of the charges if you can provide a valid prescription for the drug. If the prescription drugs were for a friend or relative you may have a defense.

You need to call Carmine R. Villani, Esquire to defend your case.

If you were arrested for distributing prescription drugs you may be facing a second degree charge if you possessed over 100 dosages. If the dosage possessed or distributed was at least five but fewer than 100 you face a third degree charge. Both charges could result in prison or jail time. If you possessed four or fewer dosages this is a disorderly person offense that can still result in some jail time. The experienced criminal defense attorneys at Villani & DeLuca will fully evaluate your case and help reduce any jail or prison time you may be sentenced to.
