Drug Offenses - Prescription Drug Crimes
Pittsburgh Criminal Defense Lawyer
Prescription drug crimes have exploded over the past decade and they now receive about as much publicity as violent crimes. Many lives have been ruined by the abuse of prescription drugs such as Oxycontin, Vicodin, Percocet and Xanax. As with any crime that receives a significant amount of publicity (i.e., DUI), prosecutors are very aggressive in trying to hang convictions around the necks of the accused.

My goals are to protect your rights and minimize or eliminate the penalties you face. The only way to do this is by taking the time and looking at the facts of the case. I examine every piece of evidence to determine if it was obtained legally. I also take every opportunity to exploit holes in the prosecution's arguments.
