Look no further, Molly will help!
With my case I didn’t know the process or anything that I needed to do. She took the time to talk me through the process and made sure she answered any questions to the best of her ability. The thing that I believe makes Molly stand out is how good her communication was during the whole process. Whether it was through a phone call or through a message – she made sure to keep me up to date on the case and was able to get my case dismissed.

Meticulously skillful, tenacious Legal Warrior!!!
My case had previously been dismissed and was re-filed by the DA after I sought an expungement of my record. I was referred to Nicole by the attorney handling my motion to expunge. I truly believe the Good Lord answered my prayers the moment he led me to Hochglaube & DeBorde, P.C. Over the last 3.5 years, Nicole has diligently fought on my behalf and successfully got my case dismissed. She and her team of legal professionals not only supported me in my legal battle but also throughout the personal ordeal of caring for my wife as she battled cancer. I am truly overjoyed that my case was dismissed yet again and my family and I can move forward with our lives. Nicole and her team truly set the standards all legal professionals ought to emulate. She is a consummate professional and a FIERCE Legal Warrior. I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole to anyone in need of OUTSTANDING legal representation.

I had to come and leave a review because these guys were some of the best lawyers I’ve ever had. I was fighting a pretty serious case and the lawyers I had before were absolutely terrible which prompted me to hire Nicole and her team. Immediately after hiring them they got me so much information pertaining to my case that my other lawyers had not even presented to me within the year and a half that they had worked on my case. I worked directly with Molly and she went over every detail of my case with me every chance she got. They were quick to respond to me anytime I called or emailed them. They were straight forward and blunt with everything. If you have a criminal case you need to fight do not hesitate to hire this firm
