University and Colleges Title IX Manuals and Limitation of Liability
Students can find themselves embroiled in a Title IX case when there are allegations of sexual misconduct. Sexual misconduct can include criminal acts like harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, violence between dating partners, stalking, threats, etc. Some conduct, which may not rise to the level of criminal conduct under state law, can also be the basis for a federal Title IX investigation or case. Universities often have detailed manuals outlining specific intolerable behaviors to limit their liability in these cases. Contact our experienced criminal defense attorneys from Hochglaube & DeBorde Law Firm to discuss your case.
Rules and Protections for Title IX Investigations and Defense
Many people are surprised to learn that Title IX cases do not carry the same rules and protections a person might have in a court of law in Houston, Tx.

“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

“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.”- Michael
