There has been a lot in the news recently about the crack down on pill factories in Miami. Pill factories or mills have been around for a long time. They are real medical facilities that operate illegally in their method of dispensing medication. They are run by licensed medical professionals and operate the way the old Quaalude factories were run. These operations are illegal in everything they do. From dispensing of medicine to the bills they send to insurance companies and the government. It’s more business than medicine. Someone needs pills for pain, weight loss, or feel good medicine that they can’t get from their real doctor so that’s where they go. These businesses are very lucrative, which is why they are up and running. Anyone involved as an owner, doctor, or patient you could be at risk of being arrested.
State and federal authorities have increased the law enforcement effort against these clinics – arresting the owners, medical professionals and the patients. The seriousness of the offense is greatest amongst the owners and the doctors. Owners and doctors could face jail time or have their medical licenses taken away for this type of illegal activity. Patients could face criminal liability but it’s usually the people lining their pockets with money that the government goes after. If you find yourself arrested for any of the crimes associated with pill factories, you need the help of a Miami criminal defense attorney.
Over the years I have represented many of these types of operations, and the people associated with them. As with any criminal case, the sooner you hire a criminal defense attorney the better off you will be. If you are an owner or physician involved with operating this type of operation, and you are arrested, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately. A lawyer will help you navigate through the system, access the evidence against you and give you guidance on how to cope with the charges against you. These are serious crimes, speak with a lawyer quickly. If you are a patient and you get charged, a criminal defense attorney will help ensure you get probation or a drug program and not have this type of charge on your record.
