Successful Defense of White Collar Crime Charges

Some types of financial transactions are straightforward and easy for anyone to grasp. There are other types of transactions that are complicated and subject to different interpretations. In preparing a defense in white collar and fraud cases, our firm carefully examines all aspects of the alleged crimes. When it will help our client's case, we work with forensic accountants, financial analysts, and specialists in other areas who can challenge the prosecution's interpretation of the facts.

As an experienced criminal defense lawyer, Dennis Chang is capable of conveying complex financial concepts in a clear and compelling manner should the case go to a jury. In some situations, our careful case preparation may allow us to obtain a dismissal of the charge or, failing that, a reduced charge-perhaps including financial restitution rather than jail time.

For non-citizens, consequences of a criminal conviction can include threats to visa status, exclusion from the United States, or even deportation. In every case, we seek to protect the client's rights and preserve their freedom.

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.
