The offence of Double Doctoring is found in s. 4 of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Essentially it is the offence of going to 2 doctors to fill the same prescription. In addition, there are many cases where the accused will forge false prescriptions on prescription pad paper that has been stolen from a doctor’s office. This offence carries serious consequences including a possibility of jail. Addiction is often a contributing factor and can be used in some cases as mitigating on sentence. Taking steps to deal with addiction problems is looked upon favourably by the courts.

What Clients Say Farid
I met Farid Zamani while I was facing a DUI charge & Over 80. Farid is very professional, and kept me calm throughout my trial. He explained the possible outcomes of my trial thoroughly. As expected, I was in a panic state but his assurance & confidence really helped me to believe that I was in good hands! My DUI & Over 80 was reduced down to a HTA offence – Careless driving. I can finally move on with my life. Thank you to the team for fighting to give me a second chance at life. Forever grateful!
