The various police agencies in Houston, Harris County and throughout the southeast Texas area have become very aggressive in filing prescription drug charges against doctors and pharmacists. Pain management clinics have become a favorite target of the police. Doctors and their staff members are being charged with illegally prescribing drugs. Pharmacists are also being charged with prescription drug charges. The police are quick to accuse doctors and pharmacists who are dedicated to helping their chronically ill patients of running illegal "pill mills". These charges can be devastating to a professional's reputation and career.
Prescription drug charges are very serious. The punishment ranges for the various charges include jail time as well as possible prison sentences. These cases must be vigorously defended. If you have been charged with a prescription drug charge or violating the Controlled Substances Act, you need a criminal defense attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced in the defense of prescription drug charges.
