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

Good job, thank you

I hired Charles to represent my son at his parole board hearing this September. We considered several very reputable experienced attorneys and after much discussion, we decided Charles would be the best attorney. It was the right decision. Charles did exactly what he said he would do including vis...iting my son on 3 occasions and providing valuable feedback to help my son prepare for board. While Charles was helpful, I know my son's preparation for the last 8 years is what ultimately got him paroled. It will not be one attorney to make this happen. It takes years of hard work and sincerity and true insight from the family/friend in prison. Nevertheless, Charles was there to ensure the hearing went as it should and I do appreciate everything he did for my son. My son was granted parole at his first hearing which we all know is next to impossible. Keep encouraging your loved one to do the work necessary to be ready for parole and then hire Charles to ensure all goes well. I wish I could share my sons story with everyone who has hope that one day their loved one will come home as well. Currently, we are waiting for the Governor's review to confirm my son's release date. It should be within the next 4 months. With gratitude, my son's mother.

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.

Amazing Work

Mr. Carbone went above and beyond for our family. He worked on my father's case and his hard work paid off. My father was granted parole after spending 9 years of his 15 to life prison sentence. We greatly appreciate his work. If anyone is looking for a lawyer who is willing to take action and implem...ent it in his work, Mr. Carbone is your guy. Thank you for all you have done for my father and our entire family.

God sent!

My childhood friend has been incarcerated for 32 years on a 15 year to life sentence. I did my research and found Mr. Carbone. After careful consideration, we retained him. He has visited my friend and is currently preparing him for his upcoming hearing. Mr. Carbone has mentored him and it has differ...ently made a difference and the Pass Program is highly recommended. He is very good and getting back to us with questions and concerns. Please be mindful that he gives great attention to each of his clients and I can appreciate that. We are so excited and confident that the hearing with be a success. Thank you Mr. Carbone for giving so many men and women hope for the future. Humbly submitted, Blessed To Retain You
