EXCLUSIVE: Paris Hilton's Powerful Connection To Las Vegas Mayor
Posted on Aug 28, 2010 @ 12:19PM
Paris Hilton has some very powerful connections in Las Vegas, thanks to her new attorney David Z. Chesnoff, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Hilton turned to Chesnoff to represent her against a drug possession charge following her arrest in Las Vegas Friday night.
Chesnoff partnered with Oscar B. Goodman to open his firm in 1987, and they worked so closely on cases they sometimes even assisted each other. Goodman was elected Mayor of Las Vegas in 1999 but remained Chesnoff's partner for another two years. He ultimately decided in 2001 to retire from the firm and spend all his time on city business.

The boutique law firm eventually became Chesnoff & Schonfeld, but Chesnoff and Goodman remain close.
Paris, of course, is a Vegas fixture and she's often crossed paths with Mayor Goodman. Just last May, they both made donations of their unique footwear to a charity called Goodie Two Shoes Celebrity Shoe Auction.

Whether her connection to city hall will help her beat her drug-possession wrap will be closely watched, but RadarOnline.com has confirmed that the heiress was not required to post bail following her bust.

lindsay is doing so much better, and with the plan made for her from the new judge, i believe, will make it now. great plan for her. paris needs the exact same plan lindsay has, and not to let her parents, and her attys get off.

Two more guys that won't have to call an escort service for a LONG time. She's going to owe them for quite some time and I hope they make her pay up (on her knees, of course) often!!

Maybe if her parents cared, they would not have allowed her start partying in clubs at the age of 14. Oh yes, she and Nicky "modeled". Good excuse to party at such a young age.

There was video of her a few years back doing coke. She was caught several times for pot and she never gets prosecuted. Her parents need to learn how to care for their kids. Her baby brother already has a DUI. Sick!
