knowledgeable and confident

I petitioned the court for removal from the sex registry. When the DA asked for a hearing and denial I almost represented myself. Very glad I hired Chance. He immediately recommended I do certain things I never thought of. The result was a granted petition.

Chance Oberstein = Hope

Never in a million years did we expect to have someone on our side that would fight for us not only without judgment but with the knowledge and fearlessness it takes to turn around a seemingly hopeless situation. If you are in need of a professional, passionate, AND compassionate advocate that will g...ive you the best possible chance ( pun intended ), then stop looking now and call. You won't regret it.

Exceptional

I hired Chance for my husband’s probation violation and he made the impossible possible. He successfully got my husband home from a very likely prison time of 5 years. Chance was very professional, patient, understanding and he truly believes in second chance. He spent time educating me the system, a...nalyzing my husband’s situation and explaining the reasons of his strategies, more importantly, with his extensive experiences he saw the real reason of my husband’s repetitive violations and pointed out a correct direction for our family to help him recover and change. Ever since my husband’s return, he’s been taking mental health counselling daily, he’s been sober for more than two years now and our relationship has improved tons. Chance not only saved my husband that one time, he saved our family forever. I’m forever grateful to him. Moving forward, we will keep working with him to get my husband’s charge reduced and eventually remove him from the SO registration.

Got a life back after 25 years

I don't know where to start. I'm still in shock as court just finished. I had a felony conviction for 288a 25 years ago. Chance got my felony reduced to a misdemeanor and dismissed. He had knowledge of my case and knew exactly what to. I can't thank you enough. I feel like a great burden has been lif...ted off my shoulders.

The Right Lawyer for the Job

Today in court my petition to be removed from the sex offender registry was granted. I was placed as a Tier 2, with one count of 288(a). Chance Oberstein worked with the Assistant DA before we went to court making sure all the paperwork was correct and the District Attorney had no objection to the pe...tition. In court before the Judge is where Chance Oberstein really earns his fee, smoothing out all questions the Judge brings up during court. This is why I highly recommend Chance Oberstein as your attorney to petition to terminate sex offender registration. He is the right attorney for these types of situations. He is a proven professional and gave my case the time to get the results needed to be removed from the registry.
