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!

knowledgeable and confident

I petitioned the court for removal from the sex registry. When the DA asked for a hearing and denial I almost represented myself. Very glad I hired Chance. He immediately recommended I do certain things I never thought of. The result was a granted petition.

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.

Big Win with Attorney Chance Oberstein

First of all, I want to give Thanks to my God for prayers heard and answered and for His Mercy. Also, I would like to thank Attorney Chance Oberstein for the incredible hard work in obtaining the victory for us with our Petition for Dismissal, PC1203.4 which was granted. The Professionalism and ...kindness of Attorney Chance Oberstein to me over this last year has been amazing and it was my pleasure that I was given to opportunity to meet with him and work with him. In addition, thank you to Attorney Janice Bellucci for recommending Chance Oberstein to me several years ago. Yesterday, 11/17/2021, we attended a dismissal hearing at the Victorville Courts, San Bernardino County, for a court hearing for dismissal, PC1203.4. Because of all the incredible work from Attorney Chance; We Won! We put a lot of prayer behind this. Although the DA objected to the motion; Attorney Chance Oberstein explained very well the Law to all present in the courtroom. In addition, the Judge, who in my opinion is a fair and very knowledgeable Trial Judge, also explained to the DA how the Law for this area is spelled out in great detail. In my opinion only, the DA either would not or was unable to fully comprehend the Law in this section. The DA reluctantly agrees with the Judge to dismiss. Motion for dismissal was granted. I respectfully would like to give Chance Oberstein my highest recommendation as an attorney and as a kind person. He is a man of integrity who provides wisdom to those who seek it. He is very understanding and will explain all the details to his clients Chance is an extremely knowledgeable attorney regarding criminal defense matters, especially in the area of sex crimes. He achieves impressive results, Victory. In addition, while I was waiting in the hallways of this Court House, I witness many different defense attorneys consulting with their clients. Now I am not going to attempt to guess what any of their cases were about or in fact if they were guilty or not. However, I did notice how many of these attorneys were attempting to get their clients to "take the Plead" and working out deals. My observation of some of these attorneys at this Court, which in my opinion, gave an appearance that some of these defense attorneys were looking to settle and move-on to the next case. In these situations, there may very well have been no case to fight, I do not know. I do know, if there is a "CHANCE", Attorney Chance Oberstein is the attorney you want to consider and work on your behalf and he will work for you. Finally, if you are facing a criminal sex charge, or looking for a dismissal, and / or need assistance with a petition for removal from PC290, or need help understanding the new California SB384 registrant's Tier designation, make your first choice with Attorney Chance Oberstein. Attorney Janice is awesome too. So, I strongly recommend going with expertise of Chance, especially if you are facing a sex charge or looking for relief. This is my opinion. Thank you Attorney Chance Oberstein for your work and the Victory. Next step for me is removal from PC290, petition for removal. Furthermore, I truly believe in the power of prayer. Thank you to Almighty God.
