Excellent Attorney

When it comes to post-conviction relief, there is no attorney better suited to handle your case than Chance Oberstein. I found Chance after laborious online and in-person research. I knew at our first consultation that I had made the right choice. During my experience, Chance was always upfront an...d straight to the point about my case. Chance was very communicative and has an unsurpassed attention to detail. Chance's advice and sound knowledge of his area of law helped me to obtain a Certificate of Rehabilitation and essentially get my life back. There are many pitfalls in the legal system and no one should ever try to navigate it alone. On behalf of my family, myself, and my future - thank you Chance Oberstein for fighting for me. Your professionalism and dedication to your clients is second to none.

Chance Oberstein just got my "impossible" certificate of rehabilitation

I talked to several attorneys about getting a certificate of rehabilitation when I became eligible. They all told me it was impossible and more than one said "You can find someone to take your money, but it will be wasted". I trusted Chance Oberstein's advice to give it a try. He guided me through... steps that made our chances better and just today got me that "impossible" COR. When the judge announced congratulated me on rehabilitating myself, it made me feel like a full-fledged citizen again. Thank you, thank you, Chance.

MY HERO FOR ME AND MY WIFE

Without Mr. Oberstein, my life would have been ruined. My wife and I are sooooo grateful for CX Oberstein. Not only did the matter go away with the aid of Attorney Oberstein, the registration requirement is gone forever and travelling in and out of the country is NOT an issue anymore. God Bless Ch...ance x. Oberstein.

Mr. Oberstein has given me a second chance at life!

Due to a conviction several years ago, I have had to live with several obstacles including but not limited to residence and employment. I was in need of a certificate of rehabilitation in order to erase away what I did when I was younger. I hired another law firm, who essentially took my money ...and provided almost no direction or assistance with that process. It was near impossible to speak with the attorney assigned to my case. After a couple years passed with no results, I decided to hire Mr. Oberstein, as his expertise is in the area that I needed. Mr. Oberstein was financially reasonable and displayed a vast amount of knowledge in the area I was in need of. He provided excellent direction and assistance towards the preparation required of me. He was willing to pick up the phone and speak with me whenever I inquired. In fact, I was even provided with his cell phone number and able to communicate through text messaging, as well. My case was not simple and required the perfect presentation, and Chance was able to succeed for me in that area. He was able to assist me in obtaining my certificate of rehabilitation with his dedication and knowledge and after more than 20 years, I can finally feel as though I'm truly free again. Without hesitation, I fully recommend Mr. Obersteins' services. I am grateful and honored to have been able to work with such a tremendous lawyer and caring person.

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!!!
