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

A MILLION THANKS!

Approximately 5 years ago, my family was searching for an attorney that could represent my brother in an en banc hearing. After speaking with Mr. Charles Carbone, we were convinced that we had hired the right attorney. This hearing was very important, because my brother was a lifer and his freedom wa...s in his hands. Mr. Carbone was compassionate, knowledgeable and ready to fight for my brother's freedom. He did an excellent job in explaining the process from the beginning to the end. My brother was released and we are so grateful forever.

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

LIFE SAVER

And I mean real life saver. I had given up hope for my bother to ever come out from prison. Then one day someone recommended Mr. Carbone I spoke to him and hired him . He worked very hard on his case always courteous and would always called me back on timely matter. Long story short we couldn't have ...done it without his knowledge and expertise. My brother is to be released soon. My mother is very old now but she will get a chance to be her son before it is too late. Thank you from all of us. God bless you.

Help Is On The Way

Carbone was a huge help in my parole suitability hearing. As a life term inmate, I did the bulk of the work for my preparation but Carbone helped me to make all the critical adjustments I needed in my presentation in order to represent myself in an appropriate fashion. He helped me to fine tune my o...wn representation of myself and helped me dot all I's and cross all T's. I thought I was ready without any representation but Carbon made me realize that my presentation would have only resulted in a parole denial. Through his coaching, I went into my parole hearing with a confidence that surprised even myself and came out of the hearing with a parole grant! Carbone is in my opinion a top notch attorney who knows his job. I am thankful to him for his help and support. For all who are willing to put in the work, I would recommend Carbone. I know first hand his professionalism and skill and am thankful to him for his professional assistance in my parole suitability hearing.
