Chance Xcaliber Oberstein

I’m very grateful for the council I received from Chance Oberstein, who represented me through multiple phases of post-sentencing and registration relief arising from a sex offense case from more than a decade ago. He is extremely adept in this area of law, and that expertise showed throughout the en...tire process to date — even when working in a completely different county and region of California. He also takes the time to answer any questions and set clear expectations / chances accordingly — which is very helpful when anxieties around the court are high from the previous arraignment/sentencing experiences. I look forward to working with him on the next (and potentially last) phase of this journey soon, and would recommend him for anybody walking a similar path. I can’t thank him enough for helping to clear the clouds overhead, and making my future ever brighter.

I’m very grateful for the help I received from Chance Oberstein, who represented me specifically for post-conviction relief in a sex offense case. He is clearly an expert in this area of law, and that expertise showed throughout the entire process. I had originally been sentenced to two years of p...robation, and with Chance’s help, my motion for early termination was granted after only 18 months. He was professional, knowledgeable, and clear about the process, which helped ease a lot of anxiety during a very stressful time. Chance is also extremely responsive and always took the time to speak with me and truly understand my case, which made a big difference. Although Chance is not local to me, we are in the same state, and he took the time to travel and personally appear with me in court, which I truly appreciated. I honestly wish I had known about him sooner so he could have handled my case from the beginning. Because of the positive experience I had working with him, I will be hiring Chance again to represent me for further post-conviction relief, including a 17(b) motion and expungement. I’m very thankful for his work and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking experienced and dedicated legal representation.

I have been living abroad legally for years and to my surprise when I went to renew my US passport, I was told there was a federal warrant for my arrest due to my "failure" to register. I thought I had taken all the proper steps to leave the registry when I left the US and was never told I had to ta...ke additional steps before leaving. However I still couldn't sleep knowing I technically may have been in the wrong in the government's eyes. I called Janice at ACSOL who recommended Chace Oberstein who handled my case perfectly, using my documents, reaching out to various sources, building a case in advance of the initial hearing. He left his house at 2:30 AM to get to the court house to request court time and proceeded on that same day to present my case. Result: WARRENT AND ALL RELATED CHARGES DISMISSED ON THE SPOT. All this he did the without my having to return to the US. If you need an attorney who knows how to get the best result and and will do the legwork to prepare and to get the best result at the earliest possible moment, I recommend wholeheartedly Chance Oberstein. PS: Initially I brought my case to another attorney and they quoted me more than twice what Chance did.

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.

Attorney Chance Oberstein provided exceptional representation during my Certificate of Rehabilitation (COR) case. Despite facing significant challenges in my county and an initial denial, even with my spotless 20+ year track record, Mr. Oberstein demonstrated remarkable legal expertise and perseveran...ce. When we believed the judge had abused her discretion, he skillfully pursued an appeal, which resulted in the appellate court remanding the case with strong instructions for the judge to reconsider. Thanks to his determined advocacy and legal knowledge, my Certificate of Rehabilitation was ultimately granted. I'm extremely grateful for Chance Oberstein's professional guidance and unwavering commitment throughout this complex legal process.
