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.

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)

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.

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.

Chance Xcaliber is of the highest Caliber!

Chance has been my attorney for at least eight years. He has always been reasonably priced and consistently provides high-quality service. He is punctual in his responses and his expertise in (t)his subject matter is unmatched. During his representation of me, he has obtained, on my behalf, an ear...ly termination of probation, an expungement and a certificate of rehabilitation and in short order, I expect that we will have been granted a reduction. Additionally, he has helped me navigate the moral character determination portion of admission to the California State Bar as an attorney. He does this out of the goodness of his heart and has never asked for additional compensation; relying solely on what I pay him for the services he provides around my (il)legal matters. I cannot thank him enough nor recommend him any higher. If you need an attorney in this area, you should engage Chance - period. There is no need to seek additional consults or opinions. Chance is honest and frank. No one understands the ins and outs of this area of law better and you will not find better service. Again, if you need an attorney in this area of law, HIRE CHANCE NOW. His expertise is unmatched. The buck stops here. And your buck will be well-spent!!!
