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!

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.

We hired Charles Francis Carbone, Esq. for prep for my husband’s YOPH this year. I researched Charles’ credentials extensively at charlescarbone.com 3 years ago after my husband’s second denial. Since then legislation has been published that favored inmates with offenses that happened during their ...youth and we felt we needed an attorney that advocated for prisoner’s rights during hearings and he did just that. Charles’ approach into prepping his clients is not warm and fuzzy, it’s not supposed to be. He is prepping clients to communicate to the commissioners on the board “who you are today” and “why you are not a current danger”. My husband was found suitable under Charles’ guidance and steadfast representation prior to and in the hearing itself. We are overjoyed and cannot thank Charles enough for taking his case and believing in my husband’s ability, hard work and determination to get a grant. Highly recommend!

Mr. Carbone is the best attorney hands down! I questioned whether it would be worth hiring a private attorney as opposed to a state one. I looked at many attorneys but ultimately decided on Mr. Carbone and was found suitable on my first hearing. I was able to spend Christmas with my family. I had som...e extremely challenging issues to answer for in board and his help in exploring these issues was invaluable. If you feel like you have a shot, hire him! You won't regret it. If your not in a position to be found suitable yet, do the work and then hire Mr. Carbone. Thank you!
