What Constitutes Unlawful Prescribing and Dispensing?
Unlawful prescribing and dispensing refers to the improper distribution of controlled substances by healthcare providers, including physicians, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners. This can involve:
- Prescribing medication without a legitimate medical purpose
- Dispensing drugs outside the scope of professional practice
- Writing fraudulent prescriptions
- Distributing medications to individuals without a valid prescription
Conviction for unlawful prescribing and dispensing can result in severe penalties, including hefty fines in the tens of thousands of dollars, as well as substantial prison sentences. For instance, a first-degree felony conviction can result in up to 30 years in prison. In addition, healthcare professionals found guilty of unlawful prescribing or dispensing can lose their medical license, effectively ending their careers. For any defendant, a conviction will result in a permanent criminal record, impacting future employment opportunities and personal reputation.
How The Baez Law Firm Can Help
At The Baez Law Firm in Miami, we understand the profound impact these charges can have on your life and career. Our passionate legal team is committed to providing an aggressive and thorough defense. We start by conducting a detailed review of your case, examining all evidence, witness statements, and documentation. This allows us to identify any weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and develop a robust defense strategy. Additionally, our firm has access to a strong network of medical and legal experts who can provide crucial testimony and insights. These experts can help demonstrate that your actions were within the bounds of professional practice or that the prosecution’s evidence is flawed.
When fighting the charges against you, we fully utilize all available defenses, including, including lack of intent, demonstrating that you did not intentionally violate the law; compliance with medical standards, showing that your prescribing practices were in line with accepted medical standards and protocols; and challenging evidence at every turn, contesting the validity, admissibility and strength of the prosecution’s case, including witness testimonies and documentation.
If the circumstances warrant it, we can negotiate favorable plea deals on your behalf. This may involve reducing the charges to lesser offenses or minimizing the penalties, helping you avoid the most severe consequences. On the other hand, should your case go to trial, our experienced litigators will provide aggressive representation in court. We will present a compelling defense, cross-examine witnesses, and advocate passionately on your behalf.
