Illegal Prescription Drugs
Michigan Defense for Illegal Prescription Drug Crimes
While state and federal law enforcement focus much of their attention on illegal drugs, they can be equally aggressive when prosecuting people arrested for illegal possession or sale of legal prescription drugs like OxyContin, Ritalin or Vicodin.
Whether it's a teenager selling a few tablets of her Ritalin prescription to friends at school, or a person shopping around for multiple doctors to write prescriptions for a painkiller, you face criminal prosecution.
Michigan criminal defense lawyer Heather Dorn has defended hundreds of adults and juveniles against drug possession charges in Oakland County, Macomb County, Wayne County and the metro Detroit area. We defend medical staff and nursing home staff. Our goal is to get the charges dismissed or reduced, either by negotiating with the prosecutor or fighting for you in court.

Minimizing the Consequences of a Criminal Charge for Illegal Possession
Many of the people arrested for illegal possession of a legal narcotic have no prior criminal record. They are often people who found themselves in a situation where access to meds made it easy to "help someone out," or a painful medical problem caused them to seek out additional painkillers.
A conviction for a drug crime can have long lasting consequences for professional licensing, for your job or job-hunting, and for your education. If you have a fairly clean record (no prior convictions for drugs or violent crimes), we work hard to get you into a diversion program or probation program that keeps a drug possession conviction off your record.
