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!!!

" Yes, Parole Does Matter"

Certainly when I needed legal representation, Charles Carbone was the gentlemen for the job. I honestly believe that everything he did to prepare me for the board helped me to be found suitable for parole. I can not thank him enough. Regard & Gratitude, Kevin Johnson

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.

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!

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.
