Getting My Life Back

There's a reason why Chance has a 5 star rating. He is a master lawyer and an honest man. He took the time to evaluate my case and devise a workable strategy. He has an excellent rapport with his colleagues, prosecutors and judges alike and make no mistake, that's hugely important to me as a defendan...t. You want the guy that prosecutors respect. I'm writing this because he helped me get off probation and begin the long road toward getting my life back from the justice system.

Without Question

Ill start off by stating that I have seen Mr Oberstein Speak many times at the acsol conferences on Tiered registries, his bask story, domestic and International travel as well as many other subjects some of us must adhere to in the state of California When contacting Mr Oberstein to retain his ser...vices he laid out a specific plan and different options that would be presented in my situation. He definitely fulfilled what he intended to do and say the law enforcement agency I was dealing with and was very precise on what he wanted the outcome to be, and got the results he and I had discussed and desired to achieve. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr Obersteins services to anyone dealing with any possible situation that could turn into something not desired or accusations that could be damaging to ones life. So in conclusion, I titled this review WITHOUT QUESTION because it is without question you retain his services if needed, You will get top notch legal service from Mr Oberstein. I was facing issues from an outside state and facing possible extradition and he worked everything out in my favor and very grateful for his expertise.

A Lawyer You Can Trust!

I was looking to bring my felony charge to a misdemeanor for obvious reasons and when contacting Chance he had assured me that it was super easy. I never try to put all my eggs in one basket, but his assurance turned into a reality in that courtroom. His confidence and determination turned my dreadfu...l journey to the courthouse into a merry affair as in no time I found myself a citizen once again, no longer a felon! It was incredible how clinical this trip to court was. You can't go wrong with Chance!

Helped me get a second chance in life!

Without Mr. Oberstien, my life would have been ruined. I was being charged with a violation of probation for not staying at home for a number of days. The violation ended up as another criminal charge because of my initial case. I was facing another felony charge and 5 to 10 years of prison time. Cha...nce was able to help reduce my time to 3 months jail time and the rest on probation allowing me to keep the job I worked so hard to get and my life intact. On top of that, midway into the new probation, Chance helped me terminate it early. Chance is not only an excellent, experienced lawyer, he knows the system cold and was able to accomplish much more than I thought possible. If you need an attorney hire Chance! His expertise is unmatched. (10/10)

Changed the future of my life

I have had a small numbers of lawyers during my episodic legal engagement and Chance has shown unmatched approachability, dedication and research needed for the court to grant my two petitions. His interaction with others in the court was a demonstration of wisdom. He has guided me through life-cha...nging milestones correcting mistakes I made in the past, nothing to to dismiss or minimize. Now I am at (more) liberty to contribute to society even more for the rest of my life. I am grateful to the God of my understanding to have Chance carrying out justice. Thank you again Chance for your for your service to us all!
