I was looking for a good attorney to represent me during my initial parole board hearing. I wrote to a few, but Mr. Carbone’s track record and human rights advocacy impressed me the most. During his first visit he advised me on exactly what I needed to do to prepare for the hearing. He went above and... beyond what most attorneys in his field would do. Mr. Carbone collected old court documents, wrote to my trial judge, reviewed my paperwork, and treated my family with the utmost respect. I was expecting a three-year denial since it was my initial hearing, but with the counsel of Mr. Carbone, I was granted a parole date on my first hearing. I would highly recommend Charles Carbone.

Charles Carbone was my lawyer before the parole board in September 2013 and he prepared me so well that the board members had nothing else to say but "We find you suitable for parole." The reason I chose Carbone was because he is very knowledgeable about the process, he has a great reputation with th...e commissioners and most importantly he knows the right thing to say at the right time during the hearing, whereas other lawyers either fight too little or too much, hurting their client.

Mr Carbone is such an excellent Attorney. My son had been a prisoner for 35 long years. He had several attorneys in that time several board hearings . All of the previous attorneys did not seem to care ,my son was just an item move on to the next . My family and I heard Mr Carbone was the best in Cal...ifornia .We live East about 2500 miles . We needed someone we could trust. . Believe me you can trust him We hired him he went different times to see my son did everything he said he would do .he got a parole date . My. Son has been bless with his freedom a year this month . After 35 years Charles Carbone helped him to be a free man .if you need someone to direct & teach you what to do to go before the board . He is the correct attorney. This family and my son respect Charles Carbone very much he is a very intelligent ,caring, compassionate man toward the inmate and family .We will always be grateful to him .

My name is Sally. I am the mother of Raymond, who is a former client of Mr. Carbone. It was an answer to my prayers that Mr. Carbone began to represent my son, Raymond. He had been denied parole several times. Mr. Carbone is such a unique attorney. He believes in his work and the effort it takes ...to sustain it. Mr. Carbone began representing Raymond, I believe, around 2007. Mr. Carbone took his case up to the 3rd Court of Appeals. Raymond was released on parole July 8, 2012, if I remember correctly. I don't believe anyone could be better represented. Mr. Carbone is such a hard worker and is so dedicated to his clients.
