One Of The Best Attorneys For Hire

For post conviction relief, Chance is one of the best if not the best lawyers. He helped me recently obtain a Certificate of Rehabilitation. In the courtroom he had the respect of the DA and judge. This is obviously due to the stellar and ethical work that Chance has done for all his previous clie...nts. Thanks to Chance my life is slowly trending in the right direction legally. If you have a sex crime conviction and are seeking legal remedies, Chance is highly recommended.

Did What I Thought Not Possible!

Chance successfully got me off of probation early despite my experience with this case. My first attorney, the one who I hired all the way to my sentencing, was no good at all. He had no faith in me and he performed poorly in the courtroom and I felt that he really just strung me along. Fast forward ...a few years on probation and I get in contact with Chance and immediately I knew I was dealing with a real professional. Because of Covid-19, my first in-person meeting was at the courthouse, yet he carried himself very well and I knew I was in good hands. My experience in the past with the DA was not a good one, but Chance had a conversation with her and I can only think he worked some kind of magic. First shot at it and poof... no longer on probation! Chance is the real deal and he'll give you 110% on your case. Absolutely my go to lawyer!

COR obtained!

Mr. Oberstein represented me throughout the process of obtaining my certificate of rehabilitation. He was knowledgeable, helpful, and informative through the entire process and kept in communication with me to explain the steps needed to raise my chances of reaching my goal. Not only am I thankful... for his constant guidance, but also find it remarkable that he was able keep my case as a priority through such a turbulent, unstable, and unpredictable time throughout the pandemic. Even with so many challenges he faced with the courts, and the restrictions, I always felt like a priority and secure in his work. In the end, I am very thankful that I was able to receive my COR with the help of Mr. Oberstein, but even if I hadn't, I know without a doubt that he had done his best to represent me.

petition result

I would like to pass on a few words about my experience with Chance Oberstein who represented me regarding a petition for a certificate of rehabilitation. Mr. Oberstein is a professional with a deep experience in this aspect of the law, but his service goes beyond professional competence. He is commi...tted to a positive outcome for his clients for he knows the stakes. He does not shy away from a fight and in a fight he does not give up. His extra effort on our behalf ensured that all three of his clients, including myself, prevailed that day in our hearing before the court over the objects from the DA. It is without reservation I can recommend Mr. Oberstein as legal counsel. His effort and skill made a critical difference. He has help change my life.

Exceptional, knowledgeable, and professional attorney.

Chance was instrumental in helping me get my certificate of rehabilitation. This was my first and last (hopefully) time dealing with something of this nature, and Chance made it a very seamless and easy experience. He walked me through everything I needed to do and kept in constant communication with... me, which calmed my nerves. And today, I was granted a certificate of rehabilitation because of the amazing work Chance had done. 10/10
