Las Vegas Insurance Fraud Defense Attorney

Accused of insurance fraud in Nevada? You need a defense built on precision, experience, and a deep understanding of white-collar investigations. 
Insurance fraud cases in Nevada often begin long before an arrest. Investigators may interview witnesses, review financial records, and build a case quietly—so by the time you learn you’re a target, the state is already steps ahead. 

At Pariente Law Firm, we level that playing field. As a former federal public defender with decades of experience in complex investigations, Michael Parientedefends clients facing misdemeanor and felony insurance fraud throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, and the rest of Clark County.

What Counts as Insurance Fraud in Nevada?

Insurance fraud includes any intentional act meant to deceive an insurance company for financial gain. You may be accused of fraud even if you never received money.

Common allegations include:

• Filing a false insurance claim
• Exaggerating the value of a loss or injury
• Staging or inflating an accident
• Submitting altered or forged documents
• Misrepresenting property, vehicle, or medical details
• Providing false statements during an investigation

Many people accused of insurance fraud had no intention to break the law. Miscommunication, clerical errors, and misunderstandings often trigger investigations.

Penalties for Insurance Fraud in Nevada

Insurance fraud can be charged as a felony, depending on the value involved and whether the prosecutor believes the act was intentional. 

Potential consequences include:

• Felony charges
• Prison time
• Restitution and fines
• Loss of professional licenses
• Permanent criminal record
• Denial of future insurance claims

Because these cases are built on documents, statements, and intent, a strong defense requires early intervention and detailed analysis.
