Las Vegas Bad Check Attorney

Nevada Unpaid Casino Marker Lawyer

A Bad Casino Marker is a Bad Check — Not an Unpaid Debt

Under Nevada law, an unpaid casino marker is handled the same as a bad check. If you are not able to repay your casino marker, the casino can prosecute you. Depending on the amount of your marker, you could be facing felony charges, both of which can carry significant penalties including fines and jail time.

The first time you hear about the casino taking action to collect your marker will typically be in a letter from the Clark County District Attorney's Office bad check unit explaining that the marker must be repaid or you could face prosecution. If you have received a demand letter or know that a warrant has been issued for your arrest, it is important that you obtain effective legal counsel from a Las Vegas bad check attorney right away.

"Writing a bad check may be a dumb mistake, but it isn't necessarily a crime. The prosecutor has the burden of proving that you intentionally wrote a bad check or couldn't cover a casino marker. We have a very successful record of finding a resolution that will keep a conviction off your record." — Attorney John Wright
