Houston Intoxication Assault & Intoxication Manslaughter Attorney
Have you been arrested and charged with intoxication assault or intoxication manslaughter in Houston or anywhere in Texas?
Intoxication assault and intoxication manslaughter charges in Texas usually follow a drunk driving accident in which someone other than the driver was seriously hurt or killed. When facing these types of charges, it is necessary to have a skilled crime lawyer on your side to see your case. The prosecution is only responsible for proving that you were intoxicated at the time of the accident. They don’t have to show that intent to harm played any role in causing serious injury or death.

Reach out to skilled Houston intoxication manslaughter lawyer Nicole DeBorde of Houston’s Hochglaube & DeBorde Law Firm.
These serious cases tend to be weighted in favor of the police and prosecutors. You could wind up facing the severe consequences of both criminal and civil actions. A skilled, experienced advocate with an acclaimed prosecutorial background and almost 20 years of trial work should be the proven professional representing you. As a seasoned criminal defense lawyer, she brings invaluable experience to protect your rights and fight for the best possible outcome.

Respected and Responsive Legal Representation
Intoxicated assault and intoxicated manslaughter are extreme forms of DUI charges, but these charges can also involve accusations of the use of a deadly weapon or other felony situations such as endangerment to a child.
An intoxication assault conviction can mean up to ten years in prison. Intoxication manslaughter carries punishments ranging from two to 20 years in prison. The charge of assault or manslaughter depends on whether bodily injury or death occurred as a result of your DWI accident. Add to these worst-case scenarios fines that can rise as high as $10,000 and you face consequences that you want to avoid at all costs. There are even mandatory jail sentences for those who receive probation for these offenses. Your DWI lawyer defense should be the very best you can afford.
Ms. DeBorde collects mountains of information — anything that can support your side of the story. She carefully examines hostile witnesses to test their credibility. She has a jeweler’s eye for inconsistencies in testimony that can help your cause. Her case preparation skills and ability to connect with judges and juries are reasons she’s come to be known throughout Houston, Texas for her respected and responsive legal representation.
Long story short: If arrested for intoxication assault or intoxication manslaughter, you should not talk to anyone on-site or thereafter. Not the police or prosecutors, not the health care professionals, no one but your defense lawyer.

“At the lowest point in my life, I found Nicole DeBorde after a thorough AI search for top-notch criminal law firms led me to HOCHGLAUBE & DEBORDE, PC in Houston, TX. I was drawn to the firm’s 60 years of combined legal experience and its direct communication model, where clients work closely with named partners rather than simply junior associates or paralegals.
Nicole did not disappoint me. As expected, she is competent, thorough, and comfortable in the courtroom. In addition, I was deeply appreciative that she showed a great deal of empathy and compassion for me as a person during my ordeal.
Nicole was very proactive in my case. I believe she played a huge role in securing a “No Bill” return from the grand jury. I have no doubt that her wealth of experience as a former Harris County prosecutor (from 1994 to 2002) and skilled defense attorney since was instrumental in producing the grand jury’s decision not to indict.
Nicole removed what felt like the weight of the world from my shoulders. I am extremely thankful for the outcome of the case and forever grateful for her experience, dedication, preparedness, and strong work ethic.” -
“I don't know where to begin to explain how thorough, professional, effective and awesome this law firm is. Nicole Deborde and her team did a fantastic job in representing me in a very serious, 2nd-degree felony criminal case. End result, the case was dropped. God forbid any of you ever need a criminal defense attorney in the state of Texas, but if you do, I recommend this firm, 100%. Thank you, Nicole, and your team, for saving my life”
