Attorney Chance Oberstein

The Law Office of Chance Oberstein represents people throughout California who’ve been accused of committing crimes by providing an aggressive, results-oriented defense. Mr. Oberstein knows the California criminal justice system, and has both the background and skill to take on tough criminal cases. No matter what type of charge you face, you can count on Chance Oberstein to press for the best possible result through tenacious, tireless advocacy.

If you face criminal charges, you can be sure the police and prosecutor will bring all their power to bear against you. That’s why you want a strong criminal attorney to fight for your rights just as forcefully.

Chance Oberstein is a lawyer who opposes charges ranging from minor criminal offenses to serious felonies. Felony convictions carry the most serious penalties. A person convicted of a felony is sentenced to serve at least one year in a state or federal prison and may be incarcerated for life. Although misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, a misdemeanor conviction can result in jail time and leave you with a criminal record that follows you for the rest of your life.

We represent clients for:

  • Sex crimes — Sentences for sexual offenses can carry lifelong consequences. Our law office works to ensure that your side of the story is told and that your rights are protected.

  • Post-Conviction Relief — California Sex Offender Registry removals, felony reductions, Certificates of Rehabilitation and more. Our office fights tirelessly to help clients eliminate or reduce past criminal charges or get those records sealed.

  • Violent crimes — We build self-defense arguments and other strong legal responses for those charged with homicide, assault, rape and other violent crimes.

  • Drug violations — Charges of trafficking, distributing or possessing a controlled substance can result in heavy fines and extended time in jail. Our goal is to eliminate or minimize the charges against you.

  • Theft — During negotiations with prosecutors and in court, you can rely on attorney Chance Oberstein to skillfully respond to larceny, robbery and other theft charges.
