Chance Xcaliber Oberstein

I had a consultation with Chance and he is an expert in his knowledge regarding this subject. Whether it is answering your questions or excersing your options regarding your travel plans.I have spoken with many attorneys relating to this subject and believe me Chance is second to none, he is on the ...cutting edge when it comes to knowledge of the law concernig international travel. Chance is also trustworthy and conscientious,he is a straight shooter. He will do his best to answer your questions and help you reach your travel goals.

Mr. Oberstein is professional, passionate, experienced, and he is perhaps the most knowledgable lawyer in California when it comes to sex crime laws. If that is the case you are dealing with you really owe it to yourself to seek Mr. Oberstein's help. There are just so many intricacies to this type o...f law, and things are changing constantly, so you really need someone with Mr. Oberstein's level of expertise and experience to navigate the process. He was able to guide me through the process and win a positive outcome. I am so thankful, and I only wish I had hired Mr. Oberstein much sooner.

Chance Oberstein helped me get my life back after twelve years of anxiety as a registered sex offender. This is a minor miracle. I believe Chance is simply the most competent specialist in post-conviction relief for sex offenders in California. For Chance, winning relief for eligible registrants ...is a cause and a passion. He does not approach these cases with a “business-as-usual” attitude. He takes great pride in helping people restore their lives. In 2005, I was convicted of a misdemeanor sex offense. Fortunately, my offense was one of the few that qualified for a Certificate of Rehabilitation and removal from the registry. In 2015, I began a serious search for help in obtaining my COR. I started by consulting the attorneys I used to get my termination of probation and expungement. They seemed flummoxed by the COR process, so I had to look elsewhere. I interviewed the lawyers my former attorneys recommended, as well as someone who was recommended by the Bar Association. These attorneys also did not inspire confidence. They either knew little about CORs, had no documented success in obtaining them for clients, charged exorbitant fees, or hyped false promises of success. One even discouraged me from applying. I was really at the end of my options when I found Chance. I knew immediately by the questions he asked me that he was an expert in these cases. Unlike the other attorneys, he was realistic and focused. He wanted to make sure I truly qualified before he took my case. The road to a COR is complex, draining, and and nerve-wracking. It involves asking friends to write letters in support, subjecting yourself and others to intense scrutiny by investigators, anticipating court dates with anxiety, overcoming possible glitches, and dealing with numerous other hurdles. Making the COR even more confusing is the inconsistency in both procedures and outcomes among the various jurisdictions in California. It is very hard to find comparative information that you can use to guide you in your county. Chance has so much experience and success with these cases that he can help you navigate the bureaucracy in your particular situation. The COR is not a process that should be undertaken without expert help and advice. It is requires that the attorney helping you be available for questions, emotionally supportive, and determined above all else to win your case. When I finally got my COR in San Francisco, after a year of delays due to changes in personnel at the DA’s office, among other setbacks, I could barely believe the ordeal was finally over. I can’t express my gratitude enough for Chance’s constant guidance through this grueling process. Chance is the authority on post-conviction relief for sex offenders. No other attorney that I interviewed even came close in terms of knowledge, experience, and professionalism. On top of his expertise, Chance offers personal understanding of what it means to be in the vise-grip of anxiety about constantly changing registration laws. If you have any opportunity at all for relief from registration and want the most competent counsel in California, don’t waste your time with other attorneys. Consult with Chance Oberstein first.

I was impressed from the start and hired Chance immediately after our first meeting. He was highly informed and very straightforward with the entire legal process moving forward in regards to my case. He explained in detail each step of the process to eventually get to a point of early probation term...ination, reduction, expungement, and an eventual certificate of rehabilitation. I have been working with him for two years now as he has been there for me through a probation issue and most recently a successful early termination of probation (One and a half years early!) He has been such an asset in regards to my situation and I couldn't be more grateful to have someone like him on my side. He has always gone out of his way to make himself available when needed and he always has taken the time to answer all of my questions and concerns without making me feel like it was ever a burden. My experience with my previous attorney was completely opposite so Chance has been a very welcome change. His fees are also very fair in terms of what you get. I guarantee if you went to another attorney, you would pay way more money and get far less effort and time. I see now why he came so highly recommended.

I have been working with Chance Oberstein for the past 1 1/2 years to resolve my unique and complicated case. In 1981 I committed a misdemeanor sex offense that required me to register as a sex offender. After spending years registering as a sex offender, I was told that is was not possible of get a... Certificate of Rehabilitation. Chance not only made it possible, but the certificate was granted. Although My Live Scan indicated that the offense was a misdemeanor, the penal code section indicated otherwise. This was because the penal code numbers were changed in the interim. This confusion caused the District Attorney to argue to disallow the application for Certificate of Rehabilitation. Because it was such an old case all my records in the court had been destroyed and there was no way to prove my case. Chance was able to prove to the judge that the offense was a misdemeanor and convince him to rule in my favor. The Certificate of Rehabilitation was granted and I will no longer have to register as a sex offender. Throughout this long ordeal Chance proved to be a reliable and competent advocate. He is skillful, empathetic, but objective. He was responsive to my many, many questions and always returned phone calls and e-mails. He traveled numerous times over three counties to help me in court. His manner was calm, assertive, but not aggressive. He was completely thorough and competent and always conducted himself at the highest level of professionalism. He has my complete trust. Chance Oberstein is a solid professional who practices nothing but the best law who exemplifies that even is the case is difficult and complicated, with the help of an excellent attorney a person can obtain a Certificate of Rehabilitation and Relief from Registration as a sex offender.
