What Does the Law Say?

Legislation outlines the definition of a counterfeit substance in 21 USCS § 802 in specific detail. In summary, a counterfeit substance is a fraudulently produced controlled substance, such as a prescription. A reasonable person would believe that the substance is not fake because it has been made to appear like the real prescription. In addition to fake prescriptions, the drug crime lawyers at our office can represent clients who have been accused of possession or sale of counterfeit drugs, such as drugs that seem to be cocaine or heroin, synthetic bath salts, fake marijuana or synthetic steroids.

    a Reputation For excellence

    • "They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this."
      Steven Raiser's law firm handled my case with excellence throughout the process. I had a SBA EIDL loan that got transferred to the Department of Treasury unexpectedly, and had a 30% penalty added to the amount due, and due very quickly, which was very stressful. After talking with Steven Raiser, and working with Harry Gill, who was absolutely brilliant in working with me and preparing the case, they were able to recall the case to the SBA. They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.
      Very grateful and appreciative to Steven Raiser and Harry Gill. Great work
      - Harry
    • They treated me wonderfully and helped me out of a bind. I feel that this firm really cares.
