We have almost 80 years of collective legal experience and work as a team to resolve our clients’ cases in their best interests. If you or a family member has been arrested on charges of obtaining a drug using a forged prescription, turn to us for experienced counsel and advice.

Penalty for Forging a Prescription in Tennessee

The most commonly forged prescriptions are for opiate-based drugs such as OxyContin, Percocet, and Vicodin. Even if a drug can be legally prescribed by a physician, you can be charged with a felony for attempting to obtain the drug without a valid prescription.

Illegal ways to obtain a prescription drug include:

Acquiring the drug from a person who has a valid prescription
Forging a doctor's signature on a physician's drug pad
Creating a counterfeit prescription
Doctor shopping
