Central Florida Prescription Drug Crimes Defense Attorney
Prescription drug crimes are a very serious matter in Florida. Illegal possession of most prescription drugs is a felony offense. If you have obtained a prescription by defrauding a doctor, you may potentially be charged with a doctor shopping offense as well.
One common prescription drug offense in Florida is the illegal possession of alprazolam (contained in the generic drug Xanax). Listed as a schedule IV drug in Florida, alprazolam is often used to treat people who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. Illegal possession of alprazolam is a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in state prison.
If you or a loved one has been arrested for the illegal possession of alprazolam or any other drug, contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer at LaBar Adams. Located in Orlando, we defend clients throughout central Florida against drug charges.

Defending Clients Against Drug Charges in Florida
While Florida's drug laws carry the potential for very serious criminal penalties, they also provide special protections for people charged with illegal drug possession. If this is your first offense, you have a limited criminal record or you are charged with a nonviolent drug-related crime, you may be eligible for pretrial diversion or drug court, either of which may allow you to avoid a criminal conviction.
Whether your case is best resolved by fighting your charges at trial or by negotiating a favorable agreement with the prosecution, you can be confident that attorney N. Ryan LaBar will work diligently to provide the strong defense you require.
