Seasoned Defense Against Allegations of Doctor Shopping
Florida has a new database that tracks prescriptions filled throughout the state. If you visit more than one doctor in a 30-day period and do not disclose your prescriptions, you may be prosecuted for "doctor shopping," a third-degree felony. It is possible to accidentally run afoul of this statute. At Aiken, O'Halloran & Associates, our Sarasota prescription drug crime defense lawyers have extensive experience handling these charges. We will fight to protect your rights and get you any help that you may need.
Felony drug crime charges are serious, and they require a serious defense. Contact our Florida criminal defense attorneys online or call 941-328-8433 to schedule an initial consultation to discuss your case.
Our Job Is to Defend, Not to Judge
Unfortunately, people sometimes become addicted to opiates such as OxyContin, Vicodin, Percocet and hydrocodone after suffering painful injuries. These drugs can and do lead to dependency. Pain management clinics may over prescribe medications which may result in increased usage and crippling addiction. It may not be your fault. Your legitimate injury and real pain may lead to a situation that causes you to violate Florida drug laws.
At Aiken, O'Halloran & Associates, our lawyers understand that this is a medical problem that can be solved with proper treatment. Jail or a long prison sentence is not the answer. Treatment and a gradual weaning off the controlled substance is a first step. We understand the reality of drug dependency and will handle your case with compassion. That is why we will do everything we can to help you avoid jail and get you the help you need.
Talk to Us Before the Police
Doctor shopping charges can carry serious consequences, including arrest and a high bond. If you are placed in jail while struggling with addiction, you may go through withdrawal in jail, making an unpleasant experience even more intolerable. If you are contacted by a law enforcement agency, do not consent to an interview, allow your property to be searched, or produce any records before you speak with our Bradenton prescription drug fraud defense attorneys. We can help protect your rights to give you the strongest possible defense.
