Casino Crimes Lawyer in Ocean City, NJ

Casino Crimes Overview

Charged With a Crime at an Atlantic City Casino? Call an Experienced Attorney.

Casino hotels have brought economic development to Atlantic City , but they also continue to spark a great deal of public concern about crime. As a result, local prosecutors are often very aggressive about bringing charges against people involved in incidents in and around casinos.

I am John Tumelty, an experienced South Jersey criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor with offices in Atlantic County and Cape May County . Don’t hesitate to contact me for a free consultation if you have been charged with any casino-related crime, including but not limited to charges like the following:

• Theft and fraud: If you have been accused of participating in a cheating scam or other casino fraud, I have the experience to defend you. Depending on the facts of your case, paying restitution to the casino may help you get your charges dropped, but you should never try to negotiate over this without the help of a lawyer.
• Assault and battery: I have defended many clients against assault and battery charges brought against them after incidents at casino hotels. Atlantic City ’s casinos and the county prosecutors take alleged assaults against security guards very seriously, so it is important to have an experienced attorney on your side.
• Drunk and disorderly conduct: Casinos frequently encourage their patrons to drink alcohol. Unfortunately, this sometimes leads to situations where patrons get charged with drunk and disorderly conduct. I regularly defend clients against these charges.

I have been practicing criminal law in New Jersey for more than 25 years and have been named a certified criminal trial attorney by the state Supreme Court. If you have been charged with any casino-related crime, contact me today to discuss your options.
