Arrested for a Cheating in a Casino?

Cleveland Defense Lawyers with 70+ Years' Experience

Although the Horseshoe Casino just opened in 2012, local and state authorities, as well as the casino operators, are taking a hard look at illegal activities that occur on the premises. These not only include cheating, but fraud (such as passing bad check) and misdemeanors like disorderly conduct. In general, casino cases fall into several categories—some criminal in nature and others civil.

We defend individuals charged with violating state gaming laws, which can start as felonies of the fifth degree increase in severity. This means that if you are accused and convicted of cheating in any casino in Ohio, you are looking at possible prison time and huge fines.

Let our Cleveland defense attorneys stand up for your rights! Call us today at (440) 709-8088.

Gambling Charges Under O.R.C. 2915.05

If you are convicted of cheating under O.R.C. 2915.05, your life will change as a result of your conviction. It is important to hire a professional defense team to protect you from criminal penalties associated with gambling charges. Often, individuals can be charged merely on the word of another participant. This might include someone who you upset during a poker tournament or someone you sat next to who lost at blackjack.

The casino in Cleveland has thousands of cameras and monitoring equipment, but this does not mean that you are guilty of a felony simply because they say so. If you have been accused of a crime relating to gambling in the Cleveland Casino, you should call Patituce & Associates immediately.

At Patituce & Associates, we pride ourselves in protecting our clients from serious allegations. Contact us for a no-obligation case evaluation with a criminal defense attorney in Cleveland.
