These are the most frequently asked questions
- I received a letter from the district attorney's office — what should I do now? The earlier you attempt to handle your situation, the better the results of your case are likely to be. Do not ignore a letter from the DA's office. As soon as you receive your first letter, contact an attorney and take immediate action to protect your rights. If you fail to respond to this letter, the Clark County District Attorney WILL file charges against you, They will seek an arrest warrant, and you may be arrested wherever you reside,and held in jail to await extradition to Nevada on the charges.
- What are my legal options? If you have casino gambling debt and have defaulted on your casino marker, you may be facing serious penalties as this is a felony crime. However, there are effective defense options available. Negotiating with the district attorney's office may be an effective way to avoid jail time, probation, and other serious consequences. At times, it is appropriate to negotiate directly with the casino to reduce the amount of debt or make a lump sum payment. We are very experienced at negotiating with both the District Attorney and the casinos in Las Vegas on behalf of our clients.
