Criminal Defense Lawyer in Las Vegas, Nevada
About Las Vegas Casino Markers
A casino marker is a line of credit extended by a casino. Most people take out casino markers with the full intention of paying the casino back. These cases often come down to the intent of the individual to knowingly sign a casino marker that you are later unable to pay. By negotiating with the prosecuting attorney and thoroughly investigating all aspects of your case, we will work to build an effective legal strategy on your behalf. When you work with a Las Vegas casino marker attorney at our firm, you can count on our discretion, professionalism and dedication to your case.
Las Vegas Criminal Attorney - Defense for Casino Marker Charges
In Las Vegas, a casino marker is not treated as a debt. It is considered to be a check. For this reason, a person with an outstanding casino marker may face criminal charges if he or she does not pay. In Nevada it is a felony offense to knowingly issue a bad check valued at $250.00 or more. The same applies to casino markers. If you are found guilty of this offense, you may face imprisonment, fines, probation and more.
