Prescription Drug Abuse Offense In Los Angeles
When it comes to prescription medications, a lot of times, doctors are prescribing prescription drugs to people who they should know, under the circumstances, shouldn't be getting any prescription drugs. Sometimes, they should have like a cross-check system to see if they're getting the same prescription drugs and abusing those drugs from other doctors.
Often, people will go into different locations and pick up multiple prescriptions; even doctors will not examine individuals and still give them prescription medications. This is when people abuse prescription medication and do themselves a disservice – not only physically but mentally.
If the courts find out about it, they will arrest and charge the person with some serious drug crimes.
They never like anybody messing around with prescription medications because the problem with that is that these medications are controlled by the FDA, and they don't want people to manipulate them. So, they take this very seriously. It's a very sacred thing to get a prescription medication and obviously follow the prescription properly.
Effective Defense Strategies
So, if you're charged with unlawfully administering prescription medications—not properly treating patients, not properly cross-checking whether or not this patient has received other prescription medications from other doctors, or not examining a particular patient—you can give me a call.
I've handled many of these cases, and I have many good strategies related to prescription medication cases in Los Angeles. I've been handling them for twenty-five years, and I know all of the ins and outs related to them.
Also, if you're a patient who is being charged with abusing prescription medication, you have a criminal case pending, and you're potentially looking at putting a blemish on your record, and you want to try to avoid that, give me a call. I've got a lot of good strategies. We get character letters together. We do damage control.
Another thing that I think is important for prosecutors and judges when it comes to these prescription medication abuse cases in Los Angeles is to show why the particular individual is abusing prescription meds. The prosecutors and judges often realize why people do this stuff, and they understand it as long as there's a justifiable reason.
If, on the flip side, someone's taking the prescription medication and selling it to other people, that starts to become a very dangerous situation. Somebody could get the wrong prescription and overdose, and obviously, the government has a big interest in controlling where these prescription medications are going.
First, they get a piece of the action with taxes and money paid. They also have a regulatory agency to ensure that people aren't abusing prescription meds and that they're not being improperly dispensed by doctors or taken by people in multiple locations. This is a common practice.
So, if you have a prescription medication case in any form in one of the Los Angeles courthouses and you're being charged criminally, I'd have you come in. We'll sit down.
Please give me all the details, and try to give me an accurate account of what's happening.
