What is Oxycodone?

Oxycodone is a pain-relieving narcotic, it is also called Oxy. Generic Oxycodone is one of the most commonly abused prescription drugs in Kentucky and the nation, largely because of its addictive properties. In Kentucky, such drugs are considered controlled substances, and it is a felony to possess them. Oxycodone is a Schedule II drug. It is illegal to possess Oxy without a prescription. Possession is a felony in state court in Kentucky and in federal court throughout the country.

Defenses Against Oxycodone Charges

If you have been accused of possessing or trafficking in Oxycodone or prescription drugs, experienced criminal defense Attorney William M. Butler Jr can help you. Many people are addicted to Oxycodone, and criminal punishment does nothing to help. Potential defenses could include:

• Lack of Evidence: One effective defense against oxycodone charges is to challenge the prosecution's evidence. We can thoroughly investigate the case to identify any weaknesses or inconsistencies in the evidence that is presented against you. Whether it's questioning the chain of custody of the seized substances or challenging the reliability of the laboratory tests, we leave no stone unturned in building a robust defense on your behalf.
• Unlawful Search and Seizure: Constitutional rights protect individuals from unlawful searches and seizures. If law enforcement had conducted an illegal search or seizure during your arrest, it could be a powerful defense against oxycodone charges. We can meticulously review the circumstances leading to your arrest, ensuring that your Fourth Amendment rights were not violated. If a violation is identified, we can work diligently to have the evidence suppressed, significantly weakening the prosecution's case.
• Prescription Validity: In some cases, individuals facing oxycodone charges may have a valid prescription for the medication. We can work closely with medical professionals to establish the legitimacy of your prescription, ensuring that you are legally entitled to possess and use oxycodone. This defense is particularly crucial in cases where individuals may be wrongfully accused due to a lack of understanding or misinformation about their prescription status.

William Butler often seeks alternatives to prison, such as treatment programs, that are designed to help deal with the underlying addiction issues rather than simply punish the behavior. He also defends clients against charges related to the drug crime such as conspiracy, money laundering, and other offenses.
