NJ Gun Permit
I was denied a firearm license because I misunderstood a question on the application and answered incorrectly. As I was about to lose my appeal, I contact Frank Carbonetti. He reviewed my situation and came up with a strategy to protect my 2nd amendment right. Like a pro he kept me in the loop and fought hard to get me approved. I cant say enough about Frank and his team (Paul). Amazing job!

Nobody better.
I hired Frank after getting charged with a 1st degree felony. I was facing life changing consequences, and needed what I felt was the best. After consulting multiple attorneys, I retained Frank mainly due to his very upfront and honest approach. He never told me what I “wanted to hear” and was only forthright.. but he promised he’d fight like hell for me. He couldn’t have proven that more. My case took a lot of time, patience, and tons of creativity from a legal stand point. I can say that through one of the scariest life altering moments of my life, I couldn’t have found any one better to fight for me. I’m forever grateful for Frank and the entire L&L Firm, for all that they’ve done for me and my family. World class. Nobody better.

The best.
attorney Frank Carbonetti, I can say that he is a person completely dedicated to his work, the work he provides is very efficient, he is honest, and if one day it is necessary to use his services, I would not hesitate to request his services again, I recommend him, the best lawyer you may have in legal matters. I was accused of a crime that I did not commit. And my lawyer, Frank Carbonetti, I can prove that he was innocent, excellent excellent lawyer, God bless him always.

“BEST LAWYER “
Mr Carbonetti, Was tremendous at what he did for me i had a serious case where i was potentially looking at a decent amount of time in prison, Frank was straight forward with me from the door and a stand up guy. He made me feel extremely comfortable from the start to the finish and wound up getting everything dismissed. So it was dropped from superior to municipal and gone. He works magic and is the best lawyer ive met by far. Id recommended Mr Carbonetti to anyone dealing with any sort of case, especially a serious criminal one. Thanks for everything again.

Great Lawyer
I hired Frank Carbonetti to help out with a pretty scary issue where I was charged with a criminal offense. Although I had other choices Frank came highly recommended. His knowledge, experience, hard work and the ability to think out of the box all helped my situation to come to a favorable end. All I can say is if you find yourself in need of a lawyer I highly recommend you speak to Frank.

Man With Great Plans
Listen From the moment we first spoke Mr. Frank Carbonetti made me feel heard understood and welcomed without judgement. He listened to me and instantly made me feel comfortable and relieved that what ever may come he was right there with me. When other lawyers were trying to rip me off charging 9xs and more than what he offered showed me how much he cared and was willing to work with me. He's so down to earth and trusted me like I trusted him and he gotten all my charges dismissed!!!!! Didn't bother me about 1 payment and called me each court date to remind me about it and always showed up on time! I COULD NOT HAVE FOUND SOMEONE BETTER!!! Thank You Frank you are loved and greatly appreciated!!

Frank Carbenetti /Gladiator of The Courts
I have known Frank Before He became Mr Carbenetti. I saw him following Mr Frank Luciano with a suit 3 sizes bigger then him he would pull the suit jacket back so the front would not hang so low. The shoes were 1-inch rubber soles from K-mart Lodi kid with a dream. His arms carried 4or5 law books thicker then his legs. I sit and wonder what is it with this kid. Today i know why, Mr Carbenetti is an attorney that came up the ladder the old fashion way, he earned it. I have used Mr. Carbenetti on a few occasions and the one thing i did not like that Mr Carbenetti was very honest with me, something you do see anymore in lawyers but he always ended our conversations with I’m in your corner let me handle this i will do job, until i have exhausted all efforts, then i will find others, and Mr Carbenetti would end with”Listen We Are In This Together And We Leave Together” I love the guy Here is a Lodi Kid With A Lions Heart God Bless You And Your Family Regards Frank & Nicholas
