Understanding the Legal Defense Strategies for Casino Marker Charges

When facing charges for unpaid casino markers, having an attorney who knows how to defend these cases is crucial. Josh Tomsheck employs a range of defense strategies tailored to the specifics of each client’s case. Below are some of the most effective legal defenses used in casino marker cases.

Lack of Intent to Defraud

One of the key elements the prosecution must prove in a casino marker case is that the defendant had the intent to defraud the casino by signing the marker without sufficient funds or intention to pay it back. In many cases, individuals sign casino markers believing they have sufficient funds in their accounts or will have the funds available before the marker is due. If it can be shown that there was no intent to defraud the casino, the charges may be dismissed or reduced. Josh Tomsheck is skilled at gathering and presenting evidence that demonstrates his clients had no intent to defraud, which is a critical element in avoiding a conviction.

Errors in the Casino’s Processing of the Marker

Casinos must follow specific procedures when issuing and collecting casino markers. Any errors in the casino’s handling of the marker, such as failing to notify the defendant of the outstanding debt or improper conversion of the marker into a check, can be grounds for dismissing the charges. Josh Tomsheck will thoroughly investigate whether the casino complied with all legal requirements in handling the marker and whether any procedural errors were made.

Discrepancies in Bank Records

Sometimes, discrepancies in banking records or delays in processing can result in an unpaid marker, even if the client had sufficient funds at the time the marker was issued. Josh Tomsheck will work closely with financial experts to analyze bank records and identify any discrepancies that could help clear his client’s name.

Negotiating Payment Arrangements

In many cases, casinos are more interested in recovering their funds than pursuing criminal charges. Josh Tomsheck is skilled at negotiating with prosecutors and casinos to establish payment plans that satisfy the debt without the need for criminal prosecution. By acting quickly and effectively, Josh can often prevent charges from being filed or get them dismissed in exchange for full payment. In other cases, after a case has been charged, Josh is adept at getting warrants recalled and halting prosecution of Casino Marker related crimes while a payment plan is accomplished. In many of these cases Mr. Tomsheck can resolve the cases to complete dismissal of all criminal charges.

Constitutional Violations

In some cases, casino marker charges may stem from constitutional violations, such as illegal search and seizure or improper arrest procedures. Josh Tomsheck will review every aspect of the case to determine whether your constitutional rights were violated and, if so, will file motions to suppress evidence or dismiss the charges altogether.

The Importance of Acting Quickly in Casino Marker Cases

It’s important to note that casino marker cases often move quickly through the legal system. Casinos typically refer unpaid markers to the district attorney’s office within a short time frame, and once charges are filed, a warrant for your arrest can be issued. Acting quickly is crucial in these cases, as there may be opportunities to resolve the matter before criminal charges are formally filed.

If you have received a notice from a casino or the district attorney’s office regarding an unpaid casino marker, it’s important to seek legal counsel immediately. Attorney Josh Tomsheck has successfully helped many clients avoid criminal charges by intervening early in the process, negotiating repayment terms, and resolving the matter before it escalates to a criminal case.

Protecting Your Future from the Consequences of Casino Marker Charges

A conviction for a casino marker violation can have serious and lasting consequences. Beyond the immediate penalties of fines, restitution, and potential imprisonment, having a criminal record can impact your future employment, professional licensing, and personal reputation. It can also hinder your ability to secure credit or loans, both inside and outside the gaming industry.

Josh Tomsheck understands the long-term consequences of a casino marker conviction and will fight tirelessly to protect your future. Whether through negotiation or aggressive defense in court, Josh will work to minimize the impact on your life and help you move forward.
