Sherrone Moore copped a plea deal in his criminal case, but he's not completely out of the woods -- Paige Shiver's attorney tells TMZ Sports the former Michigan football staffer is not ruling out suing the coach and the school.
Moore pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors last week ... with the three original charges, including felony home invasion, getting dropped.
Both Shiver and her lawyer, Andrew M. Stroth, expressed disappointment with the deal ... urging the University of Michigan to take accountability for its "painful missteps."

That said, a potential lawsuit against Moore and/or the U-M is not out of the question.
