Anonymous A bright light in the darkness of the criminal justice system

Nicole got my federal case assigned to her and from the very first day in bond hearing she ripped the prosecutiona and agents to pieces – not with just being aggressive bu by being logical , quick and very cutting. i was denied bond at first do to my own actions but 87 days in federal custody she got me out. She got one of my counts waived and i did the leg monitor for 8 months awaiting sentencing in which she guided me through with everything I needed to get a lighter sentence. In the court before the judge she spoke more eloquently than anyone in the room and it was her efforts and passion that got me probation – i owe her my new life. Anonymous Avvo Reviews Amazing lawyer

Amazing! I recently hired Ms. DeBorde to represent me for an old misdemeanor case that turned into a warrant. This warrant had been on my record for 7 yrs. I had moved out of state and needed this to be taken care of right without me going to jail. I called Nicole and she handled everything right away with a breeze. She told me she will try to get this taken care of without me stepping foot in Texas. Within just a few weeks she got my case dismissed! Even without me having to come into town! She is an absolutely amazing attorney. Very quick, very responsive, she really understood my case and handled it perfectly. I would pay her double for the work that she did if I had to. She is worth every penny. Anonymous Avvo Reviews Top Notch Attorney

After being given the news that our case was going to be very hard to get re-opened and dismissed, Nicole was able to get it done in a matter of a few weeks. I would not use anyone else in the city!

I was on probation and got arrested out of town. I had an attorney at the time’ who told me I would go to prison for 2 to 4 years for Revoke of Probation. I found Ms DeBorde who told me that she would fight all the way to make sure this didn’t happen. I hired her and in the end she did just what she said. I’m very greatful that we have people on this earth that care about others the way Ms DeBorde does. She is an honest straight forward super Attorney . Thank You Ms DeBorde. Anonymous Avvo Reviews
