Ohio is one of the strictest anti-gambling states in the U.S. Gambling in Ohio is only allowed in a handful of casinos, and cheating in gambling or “fixing” sporting events can result in a criminal charge ranging from a misdemeanor to an aggravated gambling felony.
If you or someone you love is facing any kind of gambling charge, you want to have a dedicated criminal defense attorney in your corner.
Ohio’s casinos are fairly new, so they of course led to changes in Ohio’s law, as well. Here are the main points to keep in mind:
In Columbiana County, two middle-aged brothers and their elderly father were charged with various felonies alleging they operated an illegal bingo hall and gambling house out of their family bar. Max Hiltner was hired by one of the brothers when state prosecutors dug in and the trial seemed imminent. Shortly after being retained, Hiltner saw that his client’s Constitutional rights were violated during questioning by the officers. As a result, all charges were dismissed against the whole family.
