Experienced Stillwater Attorney For Domestic Assault Defense, Sex Crimes And Other Violent Crime Defense
Prior to opening his private practice, Washington County attorney Eric Thole worked as a felony prosecutor for Washington County for eight years, and formerly for the cities of Stillwater and Cottage Grove for four years collectively. He brings this practical trial experience and knowledge to each client’s defense. He has tried and defended a wide variety of violent crime cases, including:
- Domestic violence
- Assault/aggravated assault
- Assault with a deadly weapon
- Rape and other sex crimes
- Possession of child pornography

- Murder/homicide
- Gun charges/weapons offenses
- Arson
- Making terrorist threats

More serious felonies such as child pornography or other sex crimes require an aggressive and detailed defense, as the consequences of conviction often include mandatory prison time and lifelong registration as a sex offender. Additionally, such cases often become highly sensationalized by the media.
In all cases, attorney Thole protects clients’ privacy and takes steps to minimize overly aggressive news coverage as much as possible. He seeks the best possible outcome that preserves clients’ reputation and minimizes the long-term effects of their cases.
