I hired Charles Carbone for multiple parole consideration hearings as well as filing writs for my life-term husband.   Charles was always realistic with us, there are no guarantees.   Whenever I had a concern,  I could always call him.  Despite his work schedule which takes him all over the state to ...appear at hearings and see clients at appointments, he always got back to me with a cogent well thought-out answer.   At times, Charles even handled matters not related to my husband's case, without charge and without complaint.   His fees are reasonable -- we had previously paid much more for other Board specialists.  Charles won freedom for my husband and there is no price I can attach to that.

Thanks to Mr. Carbone's representation, my husband was unanimously approved for parole at his latest hearing, after 35 years on a 25-to-life sentence. Mr. Carbone makes no promises or guarantees, has a low tolerance for B.S., and is far too busy to babysit clients with endless phone calls and letters.... It was up to my husband to put in the work (getting sponsors, taking anger management and vocational classes, going to NA/AA groups), but Mr. Carbone coached him extensively as to how to present his accomplishments and positive changes so that he shone at the hearing. My husband, like many inmates, has a distrust of attorneys and was skeptical at first, but was won over (and very moved) when Mr. Carbone addressed the Board himself on a sticking point they had about my past as it related to my husband's success on the outside. He used himself and his wife as an example, and convinced them it was a non-issue. I can honestly say that every penny I paid him was SO worth being able to anticipate my husband being a free man. I highly recommend Mr. Carbone to anyone seeking perceptive and experienced counsel.

Mr. Carbone represented me before the BPH on April 11, 2014. He successfully represented me and as a result of it, I am a free man as of September 19, 2014. Thanks to all the hard work and dedication that Mr. Carbone showed during the entire representation stage. Mr. Carbone is committed, loyal, and ...ultimately an intelligent man. Thanks Mr. Carbone, freedom is wonderful.

I am presently free because of Charles Carbone. I had 5 other Borad Lawyer pryor to hiring Charles Carbone. Within a year of hiring Mr. Carbone I was released from prison after serving 24 years. Mr. Carbon walked my family through every step of the fight for my freedom. He kept us all informed, a...nd he was always on time. He is truly the best lawyer I know.

Upon interviewing many Civil Rights Attorney’s within the entire Bay Area for a family member who was sentenced to 25yrs to life and served 23yrs, Mr. Charles Francis Carbone leads the way for all others to emulate as a Civil Rights Attorney. He was the third attorney in representation for this case... hired. Twice prior and appeal went forward to the State of California Governor to return denied. This was the last chance for an appeal. Mr. Carbone is not a sales attorney who promises one thing only to fall short. Make no mistake Mr. Carbone is the real deal. His skill sets are exercised with razor sharp precision. He is highly professional, highly motivated and extremely knowledgeable in his field of expertise. His communication, facts, data and documentation are highly on point to the subject matter at hand. Throughout the entire legal process you are always informed and advised to the best approach taken. His timing and execution was flawless which resulted in a release for our family member within one year of accepting the case. My family and I thank you for and outstanding job.
