About Daria A

Daria A Panoff built a route to law that began in the humanities. She earned a bachelor’s degree in film studies from Emory University in 1997 and returned there for a master’s in the same field, completed in 2001. She then turned to law, receiving her J.D. from the University of Nevada–Las Vegas in 2006.

After law school she entered practice in Nevada. Her earliest listed role is as an attorney at John Momot Law in 2007. Two years later she joined Las Vegas Defense Group, LLC, where she appears on the roster as an attorney starting in 2009. Over that period she established herself in local courtroom practice and agency work.

Panoff is licensed to practice in multiple jurisdictions: Wisconsin, the District of Columbia and Nevada. That geographic range has shaped the practical side of her work. It means she has navigated differing procedural rules and court systems. Her career reflects steady movement from a small firm setting into a defense firm structure that maintains several Nevada offices.

Her background before law is unusual for a lawyer: two degrees in film studies. The humanities training surfaces in her work style. She pays attention to narrative and detail. She also brings a research-oriented approach that echoes graduate study. Clients and colleagues describe a methodical manner in case preparation and court presentation.

At Las Vegas Defense Group, LLC Panoff has been associated with the firm’s Las Vegas office and its Henderson and Reno locations. Her time there spans more than a decade. She has worked on matters that require courtroom appearances and interaction with prosecutors and judges. The firm structure has provided her a platform to handle trials, hearings and pretrial litigation tasks.

Outside the office, she has maintained ties to the legal communities in the jurisdictions where she is licensed. She participates in continuing legal education and stays current on procedural changes that affect litigation practice. Her practice style leans toward careful case-building and courtroom preparedness rather than headline-seeking litigation.

She currently practices at Las Vegas Defense Group, LLC, working from offices in Las Vegas, Henderson and Reno, and handles defense representation and related litigation matters.
