Orlando, Fla. - May 28, 2020 -The Health Law Firm announced that one of its health law attorneys, Michael L. Smith, recently obtained a favorable decision in a complaint being investigated against a pharmacist which could have led to discipline on his license.

Mr. Smith successfully obtained a finding of no probable cause and dismissal of charges from the Probable Cause Panel of the Board of Pharmacy.
