Did exactly what he said he would do, and at a reasonable cost

I retained Mr. Oberstein for a petition for removal from the state registry, and his fee was lower than I had anticipated. His pre-filing requests were on point, and he assisted me in obtaining all the necessary documentation for my filing. He filed the petition, followed through with the courts, an...d got my petition approved and granted. He knows what he is doing, and did exactly what what he promised to do. Thank you, Chance!

California PC 290 Removal

I hired Chance Oberstein after finding him through the Alliance for Constitutional Sex Offense Laws website. He is President of the Alliance, which offers information and hope to sex registrants. Chance Oberstein is professional, punctual, sensitive and understanding. I can probably list a hundred ad...jectives, but most importantly, he is relatable and compassionate as a human being. Chance will work with you and work for you to achieve the desired outcome. He is reasonably priced and available. He successfully obtained a court order removing me from the California Sex Offender Registry in September of 2022, and placed me on a path to reclaim a life the government forced me to alter. There are some things in life that you cannot put a price on, things such as one's health, one's family, and one's freedom. These matters contain intrinsic value, and the defense and struggle require expertise. If you find yourself needing help in the fight for freedom, Chance Oberstein is an ally. Do not hesitate for an instant. Thank you very much Chance.

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.

COR granted

If the Justice System was populated by more people like Chance Oberstein, we would all benefit. He is knowledgeable, tenacious and creative. He kept me informed. He dealt with me calmly, ethically, and as an additional positive, his fees were very reasonable. I am grateful to have had Chance rep...resent me. He not only succeeded in resolving my case at the last possible moment before the law changed, he also resurrected my faith in the concept of Justice and the System that is supposed to administer it.

Honorable man and an exceptional lawyer

We all make mistakes and the very reason I needed a lawyer was because I made one. I preferred to hire someone who understands what it is to make mistakes and find redemption. Chance is someone who was straight with me and realistic in what was possible and what was not. I watched him attentively han...dle my case choosing carefully our strategy and taking the time to explain the various possible outcomes. The result was beyond my wildest dreams and I feel redeemed. Did I mention he is very fair with his fees!
