Protecting Your Rights: Obtaining CDS by Fraud Defense
The rise in obtaining controlled dangerous substance (CDS) by fraud cases, particularly those involving prescription drugs, is alarming. Seeking drugs through stolen, counterfeit, or forged prescriptions is a criminal offense that violates the New Jersey statute. Individuals charged with obtaining CDS by fraud may suffer significant fines and extended jail time. Therefore, these charges must be taken seriously.
At Todd Spodek Law Group, we understand how serious these charges are, and our attorneys provide aggressive defense strategies to protect your rights. We have a track record of success built on years of experience and an in-depth understanding of Burlington County law. So if you’re facing charges of misrepresentation, fraud, forgery, deception or subterfuge? Contact us 24/7 to know your rights and explore the available legal options.
Understanding N.J.S.A. 2C:35-12
Under N.J.S.A. 2C:35-12, it is unlawful to obtain CDS by fraud or any means of misrepresentation. The law stipulates that it’s illegal to acquire, possess, or forge a fraudulent or counterfeit certificate of destruction required under N.J.S. 2C:35-21. Breaking this law results in a third-degree crime punishable by up to $50,000 in fines and a jail sentence of 0-5 years with the presumptive period of incarceration of 3-5 years.
It’s crucial to note that violating N.J.S.A. 2C:35-12 is not limited to drug offenses alone; it includes theft or similar crimes defined in chapter 20 with its independent set of charge/penalty as well. Plus, this offense qualifies for a mandatory driver’s license suspension lasting up to six months irrespective of the mode of conviction.
