Legal Defense!

Loved!Loved!Loved! Mr. Anthony Carbone, Esq. His representation was beyond EXCEPTIONAL! He was so professional throughout the process of representing me. He was on time, knowledgeable, and serious about my legal defense. Mr. Carbone did not come to play. Even with that he was so calm and soft spo...ken not to mention handsome, well dressed and sharp while being assertative in his argument. When I say, I Love this man for what he has done for me that is an understatement. I can't put a price tag on what he's done for me. He saved my life. I know he was a God-Send. No question about it. The Creator sent him. From the very moment, when I was so confused, scared, and worried about who was going to help me with my case. I picked up the phone to call his office. I was so Blessed to have found him. It started with me looking him up and then I made that phone call into his office all of which was the start of me being guided and directed directly to him to find out if he can represent me, but just to have met a Wonderful person like Mr. Carbone are beyond what words can even express. His staff was GREAT! throughout the process as well. The receptionist is so sweet, and nice and I now consider her my friend........I pray and wish her the BEST! I am truly Grateful! Mr. Carbone knows the Law and he goes by it. I truly have found not only a friend for life but someone I consider a God-Send, an Angelic Being. THANK YOU AGAIN! Mr. Carbone I really mean that. If you need a legal expert or legal advice I highly recommend Mr. Anthony Carbone, Esq., and his staff. I pray for all the Best! for Mr. Carbone and his family So what are y'all waiting for. Love ❤ Y'all Family!

Review of Mr. Carbone’s professionalism

Mr. Carbone’s successful and accurate representation of my cases was critical to my career. The outputs of my professional endeavors are globally visible to the public, both domestically and internationally. I am the firm believer of if I haven’t done anything wrong, I should never get into trou...ble with the law, nor being shame of myself. Then my divorce started more than two years ago, not long after that, I have heard from DCPP, all the sudden, I was accused Child Sexual Abuse of my 7 years old boy, who is the most loved child in and out of the family. I thought to myself: what a desperate, topsy turvy attempt!! Somebody would sort this malicious nonsense out for me… I took it lightly, got a referral lawyer, who didn’t fight for me at all, only talked me into accepting the orders from the judge at the time, till the moment I have been ordered to pay for the lawyer of the opposite party, to fight to my weak lawyer!! That really woke me up and I realized my case was going down, and the treacherous smile of the accuser drove me furious so I thought I had to give some effort, finding somebody with the professional strategy, and an uncorrupted sense of justice. So I went to the office of Anthony Carbone. Mr. Carbone is the only lawyer who didn’t rush me out of the “free consultation”. In fact, some lawyers even rushed me when I paid 400 dollars per hour for their consultation. Mr. Carbone listened to my story, and paid attention to all the facts. He took over my DCPP and divorce cases, he really worked into it, and turned the Child Sexual Abuse and divorce cases around. Firstly the major step in winning of the honoring of my prenuptial agreement, which the opposite party was challenging it, wanted to throw out the whole agreement. But she couldn’t!! And then we throw away/dismissed the topsy turvy Child Sexual Abuse case, the stunning way of the judge was seeing the truth, and very much on my side. In the end I ended up to sign the agreement with minimum alimony payout, and the very fair child support. My cases revealed to me that is vitally important to have a great lawyer like Mr. Carbone on my side. He really seeing the truth, turning the cases around, step by step, fighting very, really hard to the malicious accusation, bringing the justice back!! When somebody presumes that just about every woman gets a fortune out from their divorce, especially when they do not hesitate to use their most precious children, as their weapon in the divorce, and then they confront a lawyer like Mr. Carbone, so they have a nightmare instead of a fortune as their lifetime lesson. I am a practicing artist and a very satisfied client of Mr. Anthony Carbone. I appreciate his effective representation in the matters of my cases. Mr. Carbone examines the truth, in the sense of pursuing justice for paternity.
