Life Parole Grant

Mr Carbone was highly recommended and once he met with my husband we were sold that Mr. Carbone would be the one that we would hire. My husband liked his straightforward way and appreciated his professionalism. Our first hearing (with Carbone) (4th time to Parole Board) my husband was given a 3 yea...r denial with support from our attorney to file the 1045 after a year of which we did and received a new date a year early. Mr. Carbone is a man of his word, preparing my husband for the next hearing. My husband's psych eval and C-file were quite honest of the years of my husband's incarceration and it was quite depressing for my husband and he felt hopeless but he continued working hard toward the goal and felt that with Mr. Carbone's coaching he would be ok. Our day came, and with the support of Mr. Carbone and his incredible knowledge and outstanding way of presentation my husband was granted parole. Mr. Carbone I cannot say Thank you enough because the last 3 years have been a journey and to your credit and my husband's hard work we can proudly say we're looking forward to the future together that we so many times sat in visiting talking about.

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 ....

I highly recommend Mr. Carbone.

As a former life inmate I need to stress the fact that my case was complicated. Also, I personally was not ready and was in denial of many realities. Mr. Carbone did not tell me what I wanted to hear. He was brutally honest and actually found the way to help me grow as a human being. It was through t...he improvements that I made, paired along with his precise strategic decisions, that helped me achieve my freedom.

Truly God Sent. Guardian Angel. I cant even describe how amazing Mr. Carbone truly is.

When my brother was incarcerated 7 years ago for Premeditated murder ( facing a 7 to Life sentence), my family and I had lost all hope. After a couple of difficult years, we decided to begin preparing for my brother's parole hearing. Although it was early and the chances of him not being able to paro...le the first time were less than 1%. We wanted to make sure everything was well prepared before the hearing. We went through 2 attorneys and neither of them even visited my brother after receiving payment of 15k total. A little less than a year left until my brother's hearing, I decided to find another attorney. My brother mentioned Mr. Carbone to me and I did some research and called the next day and set up an appt. After the consultation, I felt like Mr. Carbone was the answer to my prayers. He did exactly as he promised. He visited my brother 4 times plus the hearing. He truly cares about his clients. He worked very hard with my brother and truly helped him change for the better. My brother was granted parole on his first try! It is very unlikely for someone who is facing a life sentence to be granted eligibility for parole on there first try. We still can not believe it. My brother was telling me exactly what happened at the hearing and his words were, " I was in shock when Carbone was responding to the D.A's comments. I wanted to cry out of joy because he really did stick up for me and made the commissioner and everyone in the room understand who I truly am and that I am a changed person." He taught my brother the things he needed for his hearing and also life after prison IF he were to be granted parole. My brother felt so confident walking into that room. Any time someone asks me for an attorney recommendation, I say "Mr. Charles Carbone". He is such a caring person. He truly does fight for justice. He is a very respectable, genuine, humble, and smart man. When I say smart, I mean he is SMART! He knows exactly what he is talking about. He is amazing. Our family loves and respects him so much. He brought joy and happiness back in our lives. Mr. Carbone, if you are reading this, Thank you for all that you have done for my family and I. Thank you for helping my brother get another chance to life. Words cant express how grateful and appreciative we are to you. My mother always says "Carbone is our Guardian Angel and was really sent to us by God." Thank you again! God Bless

Thank's to The Lord for leading me to Charles

I found Mr. Carbone around 5 years ago when the level 2 prison my brother was in decided to move him back up to a level 4 prison do to a escape from a juvenile facility when he was 13 yrs old. After 2 months in solitary confinement, I decided to find a prisoners rights attorney. I hired Mr. Carbon...e to appeal my brothers ruling for being punished for something that happened 29 years ago. He won my brothers appeal to place him back to a level 2 prison were they have great programs to prepare lifers with the tools they need to come home one day. After, He visited my brother in prison and advised him on the steps he needed to accomplish as a lifer to be able to come home. My brother followed the steps per Mr. Carbones advise, and on Dec 12th 2014 at his first parole hearing my brother was found suitable for release! This was the "Greatest" outcome that could of happen for my brother and our family! Thank you Charles for the advise and the representation that you gave my brother for him to have a second chance at life! For anyone seeking a prisoner right attorney, I highly recommend Charles Carbone for his honest advise, and representation. Sincerely, Eddie
