COR obtained!

Mr. Oberstein represented me throughout the process of obtaining my certificate of rehabilitation. He was knowledgeable, helpful, and informative through the entire process and kept in communication with me to explain the steps needed to raise my chances of reaching my goal. Not only am I thankful... for his constant guidance, but also find it remarkable that he was able keep my case as a priority through such a turbulent, unstable, and unpredictable time throughout the pandemic. Even with so many challenges he faced with the courts, and the restrictions, I always felt like a priority and secure in his work. In the end, I am very thankful that I was able to receive my COR with the help of Mr. Oberstein, but even if I hadn't, I know without a doubt that he had done his best to represent me.

petition result

I would like to pass on a few words about my experience with Chance Oberstein who represented me regarding a petition for a certificate of rehabilitation. Mr. Oberstein is a professional with a deep experience in this aspect of the law, but his service goes beyond professional competence. He is commi...tted to a positive outcome for his clients for he knows the stakes. He does not shy away from a fight and in a fight he does not give up. His extra effort on our behalf ensured that all three of his clients, including myself, prevailed that day in our hearing before the court over the objects from the DA. It is without reservation I can recommend Mr. Oberstein as legal counsel. His effort and skill made a critical difference. He has help change my life.

The very best!!

How lucky could a person get, to have discovered Mr. Chance Oberstein. Well, I was one of those people, and literally, this man has saved, not only my life, but my entire families as well. Talk about post-conviction relief. This is most assuredly, the King of post conviction relief! For a long time, ...I thought that my case would never be resolved at all, let alone, resolved to our complete and utter satisfaction. Chance is very persistent and knows his way around a court room, like no other attorney I have ever known, (and because of the line of work I was in, I have known many.) Mere words placed upon this post could never express the sincere gratitude that I have known towards Mr. Oberstein. Take it from someone who knows first hand, if you need a highly experienced and successful defense attorney, to help you all along the way, contact Mr. Oberstein. immediately.

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.

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.
