Chance Xcaliber Oberstein

I recently worked with Chance Oberstein on my petition to be released from the duty to register as a tier one offender under PC 290, after completing 10 years of registration. Choosing Chance was the best decision I could have made. From the start, Chance was professional, compassionate, and compl...etely dedicated to my case. He explained the process clearly, answered all my questions, and kept me updated every step of the way. I always felt supported and never like “just another case.” When it came time for my petition, the DA filed “no objection.” I truly believe that outcome was because of Chance’s reputation, skill, and thorough preparation. Prosecutors and judges clearly respect him — and it shows. His knowledge of the law is unmatched, and he knows exactly how to navigate these situations to achieve the best possible results. What stands out most is that Chance genuinely cares about his clients and their future. He was patient, compassionate, and fully invested in helping me move forward. Thanks to him, I can finally close this chapter of my life with confidence. There are many attorneys out there, but if you have a case like mine or anything similar, Chance Oberstein is the one you can count on. I can’t recommend him enough.

I engaged the legal services of Chance Oberstein for the purpose of reducing my Section 290 felony conviction to a misdemeanor and then ultimately removing me from the Sex Offender Registry. I admired his knowledge of sex offender law and legislation. Whenever the Court placed a roadblock in our ...path, Chance always knew what we could do to overcome it, so I never had a sense of being in limbo at any time. Nor did I ever feel that the destination was unobtainable; Chance always knew the next step forward. That, in addition to his compassion, made him the one-and-only choice for my particular case. I strongly encourage everyone struggling under the 290 Sex Offender Registry to reach out to Chance Oberstein. I can’t promise that you’ll have the results, but I can promise that you’ll have the same great attorney.

Janice Bellucci of ACSOL recommended Chance Oberstein to me. I was looking for new representation as I had been extremely frustrated with another legal firm’s ineffective handling of my partner’s sex offender case. Chance took up the mantle and skillfully navigated the case through its legal intric...acies with his sound expertise. He was always prepared and engaged. When there were setbacks, he suggested resources and solutions that kept the case on track. Because of Chance’s diligence and guidance, my partner was successfully removed from the registry. What distinguishes Chance for me, from the lawyers I had engaged with previously, is his compassion and respect for the dignity of the client throughout this process. I strongly recommend Chance as he will provide support in the best way possible.

My experience with Mr. Oberstein has been exceptional. After an initial consultation about my case, he was able to help me not only achieve my goal but caught and fixed issues related from clerical errors with my case I was not even aware of. Extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, honest AND handle...s himself in a courtroom with clear confidence and poise. Would not hesitate to recommend and would retain again.

Mr. Oberstein saved my life. Although my case was difficult, and my previous attorney made a mess of it, Mr. Oberstein stepped in with grace, compassion, and authority. I'm not necessarily an overly religious person, but I believe that a higher power put him in my life for a reason. His demeanor and ...candor, as well as his knowledge in the area of criminal defense is invaluable. Consults with other attorneys to ensure the best outcome for the client. I have rarely seen a man silence his opponent with intelligence. I saw it in person -- when Mr. Oberstein silenced the Deputy DA and his arguments. Its rare to see a DDA look overmatched. In this case I can say firsthand thats what I saw multiple times. Mr. Oberstein uses every legal tool available to ensure your rights aren't violated and that the justice system is equitable. It's often said, you get what you pay for. In this case -- thats not true. We got far more than what we paid for, and if we (god forbid) ever had to go through that ordeal again, we would hire him without a second guess.
