CRIMINAL DEFENSE OF PHARMACY PROVIDERS

 As a pharmacy provider, you play a crucial role in safeguarding public health and well-being.

At MDRXLaw – Sauchik & Giyaur, P.C., we are committed to providing comprehensive legal representation to pharmacy providers, ensuring that your rights and interests are protected throughout the criminal justice process.

Types of Criminal Cases Faced by Pharmacy Providers

Pharmacy providers may encounter a range of criminal charges, including:

• Fraud and False Claims: Allegations of billing for services not rendered, submitting false prescription claims, or engaging in kickback schemes.

• Drug Diversion: Accusations of diverting controlled substances for illegal use or distribution.

• Recordkeeping Violations: Failure to maintain accurate and complete medication records as mandated by law.

Our Services for Pharmacy Providers

At MDRXLaw, our experienced team of attorneys is well-versed in defending pharmacy providers in criminal matters. We provide a comprehensive range of services to protect pharmacy providers facing criminal investigations and prosecutions:

• Preemptive Counseling: We advise pharmacy providers on proactive measures to minimize legal risks, ensuring compliance with regulations and ethical standards.

• Responses to Investigative Requests and Subpoenas: Developing a strategic plan is essential.  Our attorneys work closely with clients to formulate a response strategy, considering factors such as whether to comply, challenge, or negotiate the scope of the subpoena. In cases where compliance is deemed appropriate, attorneys guide clients on the proper and lawful ways to respond to investigative requests and subpoenas. This may involve providing the requested documents, records, or testimony while ensuring compliance with legal requirements and protections.  We also assist clients with challenging the validity or scope of subpoenas if there are grounds to do so. This can involve filing motions to quash or modify subpoenas based on legal, procedural, or constitutional grounds.  We frequently engage in negotiations with prosecutors to seek modifications or limitations on the scope of the subpoena. This can involve discussions to protect privileged information, limit the production of documents, or negotiate the terms of witness testimony.

• Negotiations with Authorities: We represent pharmacy providers in negotiations with law enforcement agencies, striving to avoid formal charges or minimize penalties. 

• Aggressive Defense in Court: If formal charges are filed, we provide unwavering representation in court, advocating for the dismissal of charges, acquittal, or favorable sentencing. If a client is called to testify before the grand jury, attorneys provide representation during the proceedings. This includes advising on the scope of questioning, asserting legal privileges, and ensuring that the client’s rights are protected throughout the process.
