Defense Against Gaming and Gambling Charges

Defend against gaming and gambling charges. When a gaming business or its owners become the target of an investigation or criminal charges, everything — the business, the license, the liberty — is on the line. The firm defends clients at every stage, from the first agent's visit through trial.

Are You Being Investigated?

If you are being investigated for a gaming-related offense, you should never go through it alone. Getting a lawyer involved as early as possible can significantly improve the outcome of your case. Call the firm before you make a statement — everything you say to investigators or prosecutors can be used against you.

State and Federal Gambling Matters

Texas treats illegal gambling as a criminal matter — from misdemeanor gambling to felony gambling promotion, keeping a gambling place, and possession of gambling devices. Federal law adds wire and money laundering exposure for internet-based activity. The firm defends operators, owners, and individuals in state and federal matters alike, drawing on experience prosecuting gambling and organized crime.

Challenging the Digital Evidence

Modern gambling prosecutions run on digital evidence: video and audio recordings, internet records, cell phone records, GPS location data, and social media communications. Each of these can be challenged — how it was obtained, what it actually shows, and whether the collection was lawful.

Digital forensics is a core strength of the practice. When the State's case depends on machines and data, the defense depends on someone who knows how to examine them.
