THE REAL CHARLES CARBONE#FREEDOM FIGHTER

My name is Shannon & I was sentenced to LWOP. BY chance I hired Charles through the recommendation of a fellow prisoner. Charles went above and beyond to help secure my freedom. My case was legally complex and at every step of the way Charles secured victories & eventually got my case back in juvenil...e court. He was very honest and transparent confident without ego, he advised me to hire another attorney to represent me in the juvenile process and at every step of the process he assisted. All the while he was still securing victories for me in the court of appeals and the California supreme court. Ultimately I was released from prison via the success we had in getting.my case back in juvenile court. I have read a few reviews on here by former clients and I respect their opinions, however this is not the lawyer nor Man I know. He made it very clear to me in the beginning that he has great Credibility with the parole board and that if I did not better myself, stay out of trouble, and actually do the rehabilive work, he would let the board know that I was not ready. I agreed to do the work and in part he provided me the tools to change. Very supportive but also very clear that he is not going to put someone back in society who does not do the work and could ultimately be a danger to society. As far as finances, he was very affordable and be it that my family is poor he agreed to a payment plan and when it was all said and done he cut the bill by thousands of dollars. I'm Greatful for Charles and the success my case became & the second chance at life.

Well Spoken and Truly Cares

Mr. Carbone does an amazing job of supporting his clients. He's thoughtful and communicative. I would highly recommend him for representation during parole proceedings in the state of California.

We won!!

Granted Parole ! On the 1st hearing! Hands down the best! We hired him to represent my husband on his 1st Parole Board Hearing. For a 2nd degree case. Charles Carbone is worth every penny.  He will study your case and will fight for you. When my husband was at his hearing the D.A. tried making him pl...ead guilty to case that was not what be was being reviewed.  Charles Carbone represented my husband and fought against the D.A. and their multiple ways of trying to accused my husband. Charles was so easy to work with and so patient.  He visited my husband a couple of times and gave him homework, to prepare him for his hearing .  He will NOT sugar coat anything he will tell you how it is. He will not waste your time. I'm so grateful, thankful we hired him. I don't think my husband would of been GRANTED PAROLE if it wasn't for Charles Carbone.

Freedom is precious

I was in prison for over 20 for attempted murder invloving a law enforcement officer. I was denied parole three times and my family spent over ten thousand dollars. My mother insisted I hire Charles carbone this time. Boy was I sure glad I did. I was granted parole in October. I was ultimately releas...ed in February. If you want an intelligent and articulate attorney who will fight like hell for you I would hire Carbone. Freedom is worth all the money in the world. Thanks to Carbone I was reunited with my wife, mother, and other family. Thanks for every thing Carbone.
