California PC 290 Removal

I hired Chance Oberstein after finding him through the Alliance for Constitutional Sex Offense Laws website. He is President of the Alliance, which offers information and hope to sex registrants. Chance Oberstein is professional, punctual, sensitive and understanding. I can probably list a hundred ad...jectives, but most importantly, he is relatable and compassionate as a human being. Chance will work with you and work for you to achieve the desired outcome. He is reasonably priced and available. He successfully obtained a court order removing me from the California Sex Offender Registry in September of 2022, and placed me on a path to reclaim a life the government forced me to alter. There are some things in life that you cannot put a price on, things such as one's health, one's family, and one's freedom. These matters contain intrinsic value, and the defense and struggle require expertise. If you find yourself needing help in the fight for freedom, Chance Oberstein is an ally. Do not hesitate for an instant. Thank you very much Chance.

Chance Xcaliber is of the highest Caliber!

Chance has been my attorney for at least eight years. He has always been reasonably priced and consistently provides high-quality service. He is punctual in his responses and his expertise in (t)his subject matter is unmatched. During his representation of me, he has obtained, on my behalf, an ear...ly termination of probation, an expungement and a certificate of rehabilitation and in short order, I expect that we will have been granted a reduction. Additionally, he has helped me navigate the moral character determination portion of admission to the California State Bar as an attorney. He does this out of the goodness of his heart and has never asked for additional compensation; relying solely on what I pay him for the services he provides around my (il)legal matters. I cannot thank him enough nor recommend him any higher. If you need an attorney in this area, you should engage Chance - period. There is no need to seek additional consults or opinions. Chance is honest and frank. No one understands the ins and outs of this area of law better and you will not find better service. Again, if you need an attorney in this area of law, HIRE CHANCE NOW. His expertise is unmatched. The buck stops here. And your buck will be well-spent!!!

I Could Not Have Been More Pleased!

Chance is an excellent and dedicated lawyer. I have sadly been dumped by a few layers in the past—took my money and never heard from them again! From the moment I contacted Chance he took a real interest in not only my case, but me as a person as well. He was always prompt in returning emails/calls, ...which is nice when you live out-of-state. He answered all of my questions, sometimes the same ones more than once. I did a lot of my own research into prior cases and case law, and was delighted that Chance knew the cases I was referencing and also was tracking my train of thought. This makes for a lawyer who is not just looking for an easy case, but who is working with you on *your* case. In the end, Chance was able to achieve what we set out to do, a dismissal pursuant to 1203.4. I never thought that a dismissal would be achievable, considering the nature of my case. Chance did, and went to bat for me and hit it out of the park. If you are looking for a lawyer who is dedicated to you and your case, you need look no further! You will not be disappointed whatsoever with the service, knowledge, and understanding of case law that Chance brings to the table. Do yourself a favor and give him a call and get things rolling.

Best lawyer

Being a registered sex offender on life-time federal probation, I needed to find a good lawyer who understood my situation. I was arrested by the local police about 6 months ago when I first called on Chance. After first meeting him I knew he was the best lawyer I would every find, so the search en...ded. He was able to notice immediately that I was the victim of a false arrest. His anger toward the injustice gave me much needed confidence. One month later my case was rejected by the district attorney without a hearing. The second time I called on Chance was for a probation violation in federal court. He was there to represent me on a few hours notice. Probation recommended 90 days, but Chance was able to get me released with only 9 days served!!! Chance is now guiding me through the steps I need to remove myself from live-time probation. Thank you for caring Chance.
