Florida Healthcare/DEA Defense Attorneys

Physicians, pain management clinics, and other providers that prescribe or handle controlled substances are subject to intense scrutiny by the DEA and other regulatory agencies. A single audit, complaint, or data flag can result in serious consequences including loss of DEA registration, civil penalties, or even criminal prosecution.

At Di Pietro Partners, our healthcare lawyers represent Florida healthcare providers in DEA-related investigations, audits, and enforcement actions. Our team understands how high the stakes are when your license and livelihood is on the line.

When You Need a DEA Defense Lawyer

You should contact our firm immediately if:

You received a DEA audit notice, subpoena, or inspection request
You were contacted by the DEA or Department of Health regarding prescribing habits
You’re facing accusations of overprescribing, improper documentation, or diversion
You’re being asked to surrender your DEA registration
Your DEA registration renewal was delayed, denied, or flagged
Your practice is under investigation by state or federal authorities for opioid prescribing
Your staff or pharmacy vendor triggered an incident report involving controlled substances

Understanding Drug Diversion Allegations

Drug diversion refers to the unauthorized use or distribution of controlled substances and providers are often caught in the crossfire of aggressive enforcement. Common allegations include:

Prescribing opioids or benzodiazepines outside of accepted medical standards
Failing to maintain proper documentation or patient assessments
Allowing unauthorized staff access to controlled substances
Operating “pill mill” clinics or patterns of high-volume prescriptions
Improper recordkeeping or inventory tracking under 21 CFR §1304

We help physicians push back against unfair allegations and preserve their license, DEA registration, and reputation.
