Racketeering Charges in Nevada
Racketeering charges can be filed against anyone engaged in organized crime. But contrary to popular belief, these charges are not limited to those in the Mafia. Anyone engaged in an alleged criminal organization – a business, casino, biker gang – can be leveled with these serious criminal allegations.

We understand the nuances of the federal and/or state RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) statues that govern these affairs. We are prepared to offer you a powerful legal defense against the charges you are facing.

RICO Charges And Criminal Defense
Prosecutors may pursue RICO charges to enhance penalties for other criminal offenses. Also, identifying an organization as being engaged in criminal activity allows them to “round up” multiple defendants for the same crime.
Racketeering charges can be associated with a number of criminal offenses, including, but not limited to:
- Drug crimes
- Cyber/Internet crimes
- Blackmail
- White collar crimes
- Real estate fraud
- Extortion
- Money laundering
- Murder
