Providing Strong Representation

In every drug crime case, the Law Offices of Dennis W. Chang seeks to provide strong and effective criminal defense in order to obtain the best results for our clients.

For non-citizens, consequences of a criminal conviction can include threats to visa status, exclusion from the United States, or even deportation. When possible, we work to help people avoid a criminal record and stay out of prison with options such as deferred entry of judgment, drug and alcohol diversion programs, restitution, probation, electronic monitoring, furlough, private jail, or expungements.

We will carefully review all aspects of the events leading up to the arrest, paying particular attention to the search and seizure procedures used by the police or undercover agents. The police do make mistakes, and when they do, we will seek to take maximum advantage of their error.

Helping You Get the Help You Need

California offers a number of alternative sentencing programs that can provide alternatives to conviction or incarceration. Drug diversion programs, "DEJ", Prop 36, inpatient and outpatient drug treatment programs, and other outcomes can allow an addicted person to deal with the underlying behavior leading to the crime. Not every person can qualify for these outcomes but, when they are appropriate, our firm will seek to persuade the prosecutor and the court to agree to them.

As experienced drug crime lawyers, we have a network of drug and alcohol counselors to whom we can refer our clients.

If the circumstances of your case are such that an alternative result is not feasible, we will provide assertive representation to obtain the best outcome possible, whether that is a dismissal of the charge, probation, or victory at trial.
