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.

Looking for a Commutation Attorney this is your man!

I hired Charles and his firm to write my husband’s application for commutation. He met with my husband quickly after he received his retainer fee. He spent ample time with my husband, and stayed in communication with me through the whole process as well as his associate Rebecca Rabkin attorney at la...w did. I never felt left out of the process. Charles collected all the documents he needed from my husband, had the commutation ready as we waited for one last letter of support. Charles and his associate Rebecca wrote an amazing application for commutation. They got it to the governor within three weeks of hiring him. The application is very professional. If the Governor and his staff don’t grant my husbands request for commutation of sentence it certainly wasn’t due to the lack of the expert services we received. I highly recommend Charles and his associate to anyone who is certain their loved one is rehabilitated and ready to come home. Now we wait to see the outcome. One last note I work with 9 private practice criminal defense attorneys not in a firm, to write and post this high recommendation doesn’t come easy. The work has to be exceptional as it is! Remember your loved ones life is on the line you get what you pay for. I’m Pleasantly pleased!

God sent!

My childhood friend has been incarcerated for 32 years on a 15 year to life sentence. I did my research and found Mr. Carbone. After careful consideration, we retained him. He has visited my friend and is currently preparing him for his upcoming hearing. Mr. Carbone has mentored him and it has differ...ently made a difference and the Pass Program is highly recommended. He is very good and getting back to us with questions and concerns. Please be mindful that he gives great attention to each of his clients and I can appreciate that. We are so excited and confident that the hearing with be a success. Thank you Mr. Carbone for giving so many men and women hope for the future. Humbly submitted, Blessed To Retain You

Lied to me

Charles Carbone was hired by my mom when I was in Ad seg . During a potty watch and was fully chained up naked with waist chains and cuffs I was sprayed with disinfectant on video by a C.O. name Lipper. Did the whole 602 process answered all levels warden signed 602 acknowledging fault before 90 Day... expiration of video delete by facility Head.. Carbone pick the case up from there after receiving retainer he push to next level as a state board complaint with the state of California .. First red flag he wanted $5000 retainer to meet timeline to file in state or federal court for lost suite .... when time came to fill he was nowhere to be found then at the last minute he took retainer then 2 weeks later returned retainer said time had expired to file in court .... So I thought using a state funded lawyer to sue a state entity Charles Carbone faked me out had me and my family fooled ....

Suitable For Parole

Greetings Everyone I am writing this review to thank Atty Chalres Carbone who we hired 4.5 ago for my husbands up and coming parole hearing. It was his first time going befoee the parole board . My husband had dealt with Atty Charles in prior years where he used his services through his Prisoners Ri...ghts Publication which was successful. So my husband felt pretty confident with obtaining said attorney. For my husband had a lengthy sentence 25yrs to life. Upon hiring said atty he informed us we had some work ahead of us. With my husband having to take any and all courses or programs afforded to us with a recommended program over seen by said Atty called The PASS Program. A self assessment and coping skill program which my husband found benificial. During the process I found myself with many questions that I would either call, text, email or all of the above to Atty Carbone and he would get back to me in a timely manner. For he is very busy but always puts his client's first on every level. His level of professionalism is like no other. With that being said I am pleased to inform any and all who are in the same predicament as ourselves on who you should hire to help during a very trying time in your life is this Atty here Atty Charles Carbone. With His Years of experience know how and dedication to his client's and their family he was able to convince the parole board to find my Husband Suitable for Parole. Yes he is Granted parole and it was his first time before the board. So don't listen to everyone who says it can't be done. In our case it has been done. Thank you for taking the time to read this review. God is good. God Bless You All And God Bless Atty Charles Carbone.
