Felony Charges of Forgery of a Prescription Dismissed and Pretrial Probation on Remaining Charges on Prescription Fraud Case

Our client is a sixty year old physician’s assistant who was licensed to prescribe medications and also permitted to write on supervising physician’s licenses. Between April 2015 and September 2015 the accused wrote twenty two prescriptions on a doctor’s prescription pad, and used the prescriptions to obtain gift cards at a pharmacy providing incentives to customers who obtained their medications from that store. The gift cards exceeded $250 making the theft a felony under G.L. c. 266 Section 30. The prescription fraud and forgery charges are also felonies under G.L. c. 94C Section 33 and G.L. c. 267 Section 1 respectively. Today, Attorney Neyman was able to get pretrial probation under G.L. c. 266 Section 87 for the felony larceny and prescription fraud cases, all twenty three of them. The forgery charges were dismissed. The client will have no criminal record and will be able to work in her field again.
