Whether driven by addiction or recreational use, misuse of prescription painkillers and other prescription-only medications is widespread. This has led to a crackdown on users and dealers as well as medical providers. Many people do not realize that illegal possession of these drugs is a serious felony.
If you are accused of drug possession, intent to distribute, or other prescription drug crimes, you will need an experienced attorney to minimize the consequences. With nearly four decades of combined experience, McDougal Law Firm has defended thousands accused of drug-related offenses. Our criminal defense lawyers serve clients throughout Fort Bend County, Texas.
Need a Prescription Drug Defense Attorney?
Most doctors now email prescriptions directly to the pharmacy, making it more difficult and more dangerous to obtain prescription meds for improper use. However, some people will go to several physicians or pain management clinics to obtain multiple prescriptions or resort to street dealers or theft.
No matter the quantity (a few pills) or the drug of choice (OxyContin, Vicodin, ecstasy, codeine syrup or “lean”), it is still a felony to illegally obtain or distribute controlled substances.
We have experience with all types of prescription drug offenses, including:
Possession of prescription drugs without a valid prescription
Doctor shopping and other prescription fraud
Sale, distribution or theft of controlled substances
Unlawfully prescribing or dispensing medications
