Getting ready to come home

My husband has been in prison for 26 years. After a 3-year denial, Carbone helped us obtain parole eligibility at his second Parole Board Hearing. We're waiting through the process for him to actually leave, but are very thankful for the work Carbone has done to get my husband home. Highly recomme...nd Charles Carbone for board hearing representation.

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.

Excellent and Passionate Attorney

My brother recommended that we retain Charles Carbone to support him with the parole hearing, after hearing about Charles from several fellow inmates. We were thoroughly impressed with his knowledge, insight, and honesty from the beginning. Per my brother, "Charles is very straight forward and pretty... much figures out my whole life from childhood to the day I got incarcerated. He was able to piece how and where I went wrong in my life, and I was truly amazed!" He met with my brother several times leading up to his first parole hearing, providing him guidance and support on what to expect during the process including the psychological test (which my brother did very well). His first parole hearing was set for 4th April 2018 and of course we were all very nervous about the outcome. We awaited anxiously for his call later in the day and he informed us of the FANTASTIC news that the board found my brother suitable for parole!! We are very grateful for his expertise, knowledge, and his time despite his very busy schedule! Thank you again Charles. We truly believe you made all the difference.

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.

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
