Suitable for Parole 28 years later!

Our family hired Mr. Carbone for our baby brother who was convicted as a youth to 25 to Life with 2 consecutive life sentences for what should have been manslaughter after he was stabbed by a army vet suffering from PTSD. Instead LAPD and their history of false reports painted another picture. Our fa...mily saturated our home equity, life savings, retirements hiring 2 others lawyers who did nothing in fact was later disbarred for countless ineffective counsel. On our moms death bed she pleaded with us never to forget her baby boy who has been locked up for 28 years since a baby boy. On 9/20/2018 our brother was at last found suitable for parole and will be home soon. Mr. Carbone is a man of his word, he makes no empty promises but state the facts as presented to him. He has timely email and call back despite I imagine his heavy caseloads. He is passionate about what he does and you can feel it. He is very versed in law and made several in person visits as planned to chat with our brother to review his case. This is almost unheard of in our 28 yr wait for an attorney to visit him in person. He likely never made a profit from us based on the low low retainer and his travel expenses an countless calls and reports. he is the real deal. There is hope although hard to find good lawyers I can guarantee Mr, Carbone is the real deal. He will not promise you any results except that he will do his very best so long as the inmate does his part. Looking at all these 2018 releases on this post makes me so very very proud. Our family will personally honor Mr. Carbone as lawyer of the quarter century...you have no idea what his fight means to our family. Hire him NOW if you are seeking justice. We are still rejoicing and in disbelief. Their is HOPE Mr. Carbone is being used by God no doubt for justice and I can write until my fingers fall off but you get the picture by now that Mr. Carbone is in it to win it aka justice for so many deserving inmates that systemic oppressive systems have set out to toss guys out like trash..Oh but not on Mr. Carbone watch!!!

Charles Carbone

Hi my name is Lorena and I hired Charles Carbone to represent my friend Frank who is serving a 29 to life sentence for first degree murder. Today I received the BEST news ever that Frank was found suitable for Parole. I honestly feel that Frank was found suitable today by the Parole Board because he ...was represented by Charles Carbone. I highly recommend him if your seeking legal representation for a loved one. His legal services are very reasonable compared to other attorneys. Charles Carbone will not let you down he is sharp and very professional but most importantly he fights to bring your loved one home. He did exactly that for Frank and I today. We are eternally grateful to Charles Carbone.

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!

Life really IS greener on the other side!

I had lost all my hope years ago of ever getting out of prison. I never made it to a level 3 and remained a level 4 my entire term. My points were high even the day I walked out the gate. I realized after talking to Mr. Charles Carbone that there was hope after all despite how far I had dug a hol...e for myself within the CDC. I had a long disciplinary history with many years in the SHU. The confidentials that were presented to the board made me look like John Gotti. Two years ago with a raunchy file Mr. Carbone was able to get me a 3 year denial. Earlier this year he filed a 1045 petition and hooked it up nicely. It was granted and in July I was granted parole. During the parole hearing, I was digging a hole for myself by veering off course of the subject the commissioner was on. Mr. Carbone was able to twist it back around in my favor. That was what got me my grant. On November 16 I was released and now I reside in the free world. Thanks to Mr. Carbone. For those of you whom read this and are considering hiring Mr. Carbone for your attorney I am advising you not to hesitate because I was a man without hope and probably far worse off than yourself or your loved one that is a lifer yet Mr. Carbone is the sole reason why I am a free man today. For those of you whom think the dump truck stated appointed attorneys are going to get you out yourself deceived. The money that it takes to hire Mr. Carbone is nothing in comparison to how wonderful this freedom is. I am truly blown away with this experience. To me, Carbone is like a God and I have the nothing but the greatest respect for this man. Thank you Charles, man you're the best and there's nobody like you. Respectfully submitted, Mark

Outstanding Attorney

I hired Charles to represent my son for his third Subsequent Parole hearing. Charles is an extremely competent and experienced attorney who will fight for a prisoner's rights. The outcome of the hearing was favorable. I only wish that I would have met or known about Charles before this year and ...I would have definitely not had spent money on any other attorney. Charles on behalf of my son and my family "THANK YOU".
