Client Testimonials

Proven Results, Trusted Representation
    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
    Honest and does what she says.
    “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 Revocation 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 grateful that we have people on this earth who care about others the way Ms DeBorde does. She is an honest straight forward super Attorney . Thank you, Ms. DeBorde.”
