It’s a miracle!

A miracle!! I literally can’t express how thankful my wife and I are for what Chance has done for me. An outstanding gentleman and scholar indeed. Today in court was a true victory in which my petition to be removed from the registry was granted. I must say I was doubtful, having been placed on a TB...D category by the DOJ under this new Tiered Registry Law that there was a strong possibility both the DA and the Judge would simply deny it. Chance continuously encouraged me throughout the whole ordeal with confidence and as a result of his expertise, knowledge and fight we walked out of that courtroom with a granted petition to be removed from the registry! I am probably the very first person in California to be granted a petition on a TBD status, A MIRACLE!! I am so grateful and thankful for hiring such an amazing attorney, thank you Chance many times over for you’ve literally altered the course of my life for the good and we will never forget that!

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.

A Lawyer You Can Trust!

I was looking to bring my felony charge to a misdemeanor for obvious reasons and when contacting Chance he had assured me that it was super easy. I never try to put all my eggs in one basket, but his assurance turned into a reality in that courtroom. His confidence and determination turned my dreadfu...l journey to the courthouse into a merry affair as in no time I found myself a citizen once again, no longer a felon! It was incredible how clinical this trip to court was. You can't go wrong with Chance!

Knowledgeable and Sympathetic

I hired Chance for my husband to try to get a Certificate of Rehabilitation. Chance was great, professional and sympathetic to our situation. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects about the Certificate of Rehabilitation. My husband was successful in receiving the certificate and we are very grat...eful for Chance. I would highly recommend him.

One Of The Best Attorneys For Hire

For post conviction relief, Chance is one of the best if not the best lawyers. He helped me recently obtain a Certificate of Rehabilitation. In the courtroom he had the respect of the DA and judge. This is obviously due to the stellar and ethical work that Chance has done for all his previous clie...nts. Thanks to Chance my life is slowly trending in the right direction legally. If you have a sex crime conviction and are seeking legal remedies, Chance is highly recommended.
