Removal from registration

I was registered for four decades of my lifetime. Chance clearly knew what steps to take and make sure it went through the process even when a couple agencies didn't sign documents correctly or forward them correctly. It was good to know this would be handled appropriately. This is life changing. N...ow I feel free to shake hands with a local representative or attend an event with friends in public, and not worry that somehow I'm going to affect someone else. It has been so difficult for my spouse who in the modern world also ends up in the system when he cannot join a local organization without getting a scarlet mark on his name. I look forward to living a decade or two as a senior without having the effect of some thing I did in my early 20s.

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.

Chance is a Blessing!

Relief from Registration after 18 years! I never thought this day would come, but I know that I was led to the right man. Honesty, Integrity, Compassion and in my humble opinion the most qualified Attorney for this area of Law. It was a pleasure to have many conversations with this man, but I also... had unwavering peace in knowing I was in the most capable hands as he represented me. He is an EXPERT! I highly recommend Chance for he will treat you fairly, honestly and with great integrity.

Removal from Registry

After 27 years of being on the registry I'm finally off. It's finally over thanks to Chance Oberstein. I first saw Chance Oberstein at an ACSOL meeting held by Janice Bellucci and was very impressed by how knowledgeable, and professional Mr. Oberstein was, as Janice Bellucci referred to him for ans...wers to many questions that were being asked. As the opportunity came to petition for removal from the SO registry I thought I could handle this on my own and quickly found out I was wrong. I was able to hire Mr. Oberstein and the results were...removal from the registry. Chance Oberstein is highly knowledgeable of the SO laws, very patient, easy to talk to and, kept me informed each step of the process. I appreciate Chance Oberstein's kindness and understanding of how difficult life is to be on the registry. I highly recommend Chance Oberstein to anyone in need of an attorney!

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.
