Criminal Defense

What Sets Us Apart?

A Trial-Focused & Evidence-Driven Defense

Criminal charges place your liberty, livelihood, and reputation at risk. We approach each case with the understanding that the outcome can alter the course of a client’s life. For that reason, our firm prepares every matter as if it will proceed to trial.

Every piece of evidence is thoroughly examined, every legal issue is carefully analyzed, and every strategic option is thoughtfully considered. This disciplined, evidence-driven approach allows us to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and pursue the strongest possible defense at every stage.

Relentless Advocacy Paired with Compassionate Representation

What distinguishes Hochglaube & DeBorde, PC is the combination of aggressive courtroom advocacy and compassionate, client-centered representation. As a client, you are treated with respect and without judgment, regardless of the allegations you face.

We understand that you often seek a criminal defense attorney during one of the most stressful moments of your life. Providing clarity, accessibility, and steady guidance is a core part of our mission, alongside delivering powerful legal advocacy.

Exceptional Credentials & Proven Experience

Our attorneys bring exceptional credentials and real-world insight to their practice. Mr. Hochglaube is Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. This distinction is earned by a small percentage of lawyers who demonstrate substantial experience and expertise in this field.

Attorney DeBorde is a former Harris County prosecutor who served from 1994 to 2002, giving her a valuable perspective on how cases are investigated and prosecuted. She was selected to Super Lawyers from 2010 through 2025 and holds an AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale-Hubbell®, reflecting the highest level of professional excellence and ethical standards.

Client Testimonials

Proven Results, Trusted Representation

Words would never be enough
“I am just writing to thank Nicole and her team for helping me make parole. It was such an honor to have y’all represent me. Words would never be enough to express how grateful I am, and Lord knows if we could afford it again, I would definitely have you represent me again.
Again thank you for giving me a second chance at life, I can’t wait to start it.
”

- Mark
Nicole goes above and beyond.
“Nicole goes above and beyond the “call of duty” both in and out of the court room. Her statement to us when my husband and I hired her was that she would treat us like her family. She most certainly has done that. It has been almost 5 years since adjudication and she has continued to help us with any need that may arise. In this world of uncertainty, there is no one else I would rather have as our counsel than Nicole DeBorde. She truly is an anomaly and has no equal.”

- Kasie
