Their insight as former prosecutors, coupled with more than 20 years of experience each in criminal law, enable them to effectively counter the tough drug laws of New York State.

Prescription Fraud

Doctors, pharmacists, and other medical professionals charged with prescription drug fraud face serious criminal penalties if they are convicted. They also may face serious consequences in their personal and professional life. In addition to being ridiculed by colleagues, they may face occupational investigations or professional license suspensions that seriously harm their careers.

Prescription drug fraud may involve possession or distribution of illegal prescription drugs, such as writing prescriptions for one's own use, writing prescriptions for others outside of standard care, or filling prescriptions for oneself. We are dedicated to preserving the rights, reputation, and future of professionals charged for prescription drug fraud.

Drug Possession

"Simple possession" is a misleading term. Possessing even a small amount of any controlled substance can mean substantial jail time or even felony prosecution and a prison sentence of up to 15 years. The charges will depend on the type of drug, the amount, and prior criminal history.

First-time or small-time drug offenders with no convictions for violent crimes may be eligible for Drug Court. In exchange for submitting to drug treatment (lockdown) to address addiction, defendants can avoid criminal prosecution — no jail time and no criminal record if they stay clean and complete a rehabilitation program.

If you are ineligible or do not complete the Drug Court program, you will have to answer to charges in criminal court. Grunwald & Seman, P.C. offers a proven record of success in challenging probable cause for traffic stops or search and seizure, or other violations of your rights by police and prosecutors, leading to suppression of damaging evidence. If we prevail, charges may be dismissed or reduced. If your case goes to court, we attack the prosecution's case on every front seeking to create reasonable doubt for a jury. In the event you are convicted at trial, we will advocate on your behalf at the sentencing phase to seek the minimum sentence or alternative punishments.
