Unethical

Carbone was paid for a consultation with an inmate and he wasn't prepared. He had asked to have the transcripts from the last parole board hearing mailed to him so that he could read them before the consultation. He didn't read them and didn't even have them with him for the consultation. Luckily ...the inmate brought them with him. This particular inmate had been put on hard C status prior to meeting with Carbone due to an overdose or should I say an attempted suicide as this inmate had pretty much lost all hope. Once Carbone found out he was on hard C status and without knowing or asking why this inmate was on hard C status Carbone treated this inmate like a piece of dirt. He gave him no information about what he needed do over the next year and a half to prepare to go to the board again. Carbone did nothing as far as any service for his consultation fee which to me is robbery. If he claims to be a professional he should act like one.

Husband coming home

My name is Lorrie and my husband has beeb in prison for 32 years. He was sentenced 26 to life when he was a juvenile. He was denied parole several times. I hired Charles Carbone and he gave us the hope we were waiting for. I was always well informed and throughly explained every step of the process t...o grant the parole. Mr. Charles was very straight to the point, very knowledgeable in his field, very compassionate to my husband and I. He stood by my husband side to guide him through the questioning of the parole board. After 32 years of being incarcerated my husband is now coming home. I believe without Charles Carbone's help my husband would have denied. Charles thank you for all your help and for all you do to give my husband and others a 2nd chance. I am grateful for what you have done for my husband, family, and I. You are a great attroney. You will always be in my prayers and God Bless You. Forever grateful Lorrie

FREE AT LAST

My name is Tuan, I was incarcerated for 27 years and has been denied by the parole panels for the last three consecutive times before my family hired Mr. Charles Carbon to represented me on my next scheduled hearing on February 1, 2017. I was astonished in coming to knowing that Mr. Carbone's very in...telligent, smart, and knowledgeable with the controlling case laws pertaining to parole hearing. Mr. Carbon spend time to came to prison prepare me for my hearing. I had the best lawyer who was insightful about the steps to guide me and prepare me to answer to questions relating to insights, why I committed my life crime, remorse, and how have I changed? I was lacking insight until Mr. Carbon willing to teach, guide, and prepared me to the full extent of the questions that related to all these essential questioning that all lifer's and non-lifer's sit before the panel. I can deep say that without Mr. Carbon helping me understanding the dinamic and essential in how I am going about answering to these questions before the parole panel that eventually granted my release from prison. On June 1, 2017, I was found suitable for parole because I had the best lawyer who has given me the best representation before and during the hearing. Today I get to be reunited with my family and love one's, all the praises and glory go to God and Mr Carbon who deligently fought wholeheartedly on my behalf before the parole commissioners. I am honored to recommended to all those who seek counsel to represent their love one's before the parole board in the hope to gain their freedom and bring them home. He brought me home and reunited me with my family and love one's. Thank you Mr. Carbon if it wasn't for u, I am still sitting in prison, but today I am free at last. I old you my gratitude and my life. You are amazing lawyer who love to represented your client with heart and passion in your work to gain the freedom to those in my situation. May the Lord bless you by continuing to help those who need your help to be reunited with their family and love one's. Please give Mr. Carbon a call to represent your love one's who still inside anxiously awaiting to coming home. Your love one's is in the best hand with Mr. Charles Carbon as his/her representative on their behalf before the parole board. THANK YOU SO MUCH MR. CHARLES CARBON by bringing me home to my family.

Definitely gets the work done with his No B.S. policy

Charles is truly an outstanding attorney who cares a lot about his clients and making sure they are found suitable for parole. We first hired Charles when my father was up for his second parole hearing in 2016. My father was sentenced to 15 to life and had numerous rules violations and 115’s. My fath...er had a bad record when he faced his first and second parole hearings. But Charles provided clear guidelines, coached and challenged my dad with his no B.S. policy. He also helped my father to be able to articulate his programming to the parole board. Thanks to his coaching my father was found suitable after serving 24 years in prison. Throughout the process leading up to the parole hearings, Charles was easy to get a hold of and always answered all questions and concerns. I would recommend him to anyone who is facing parole board for the first or second or fifth time. He truly cares about his clients and their families and wants to seem them found suitable and succeed outside of prison.

The Best

I hired Charles Carbone to represent my husband. Charles Carbone is the best lawyer in California for representing an inmate at a parole hearing. My husband was prepared with extensive interviews and a course of study prepared by Mr Carbone for inmates. There is no lawyer who could be more knowledgea...ble, skilled and caring than Mr. Carbone. My husband received parole at his first hearing thanks to the dedicated work of Mr. Carbone.
