Q: My mom forged and delivered 5 opiate scripts during bipolar episodes. Whats your jail time guess?
She's Stage 5 manic bipolar with doctors records. She was arrested at the beginning of last year for forging and "cashing" 5 oxy scripts, and shes been indicted. She since has gotten on suboxone and moved to Louisiana in with me, and held a couple jobs, more than before. She has a decent moral case, as well as mental. She will be stuck with a public defender and I'm trying to help gather a case in this speedy process.
A: It really depends on how exactly she was indicted, and under what particular statute. You should consider getting with a criminal defense attorney so that you can discuss more of the facts and circumstances of her case.

Most attorneys, myself included, are willing to provide a free consultation to see how you can be helped.
