Did exactly what he said he would do, and at a reasonable cost

I retained Mr. Oberstein for a petition for removal from the state registry, and his fee was lower than I had anticipated. His pre-filing requests were on point, and he assisted me in obtaining all the necessary documentation for my filing. He filed the petition, followed through with the courts, an...d got my petition approved and granted. He knows what he is doing, and did exactly what what he promised to do. Thank you, Chance!

My experience with Mr. Chance Oberstein

Hello, My experience with Mr. Chance Oberstein has been a very positive one. I needed help to terminate my probation and later, to reduce my status from felony to misdemeanor, and both cases/instances were successful. Mr. Oberstein understands the law and the processes of the system very well and ...his expertise made it all possible. I would recommend Mr. Oberstein to anyone that needs a competent lawyer. Thank you Mr. Oberstein.

Thank You Mr. Oberstein

Don't hesitate to hire Chance Oberstein as your attorney if you have been convicted of a crime that requires you to register as a sex offender. Our son was granted an early termination of probation due to Mr. Oberstein's expertise and experience. He will continue to work with our son to reduce the ...charge from a Felony to a Misdemeanor. Equally important is his understanding of how humiliating, and frightening, this experience is for anyone who is required to register as a sex offender. His guidance continues to be a lifeline for both our son and our entire family. Thank you Mr. Oberstein.
