Stillwater Attorney And Former Prosecutor Defends Against Drug Possession Charges

Drug possession convictions not only bring jail time and large fines, but they can also leave a permanent mark on your criminal record. Located in Stillwater, the Thole Law Firm helps individuals throughout Washington County overcome their drug charges and move forward with their lives.

In Minnesota, it is illegal to possess controlled substances – such as marijuana and cocaine – and to possess prescription drugs – such as OxyContin and Percocet – without a prescription. Depending on the type and amount of drugs found in your possession, you may be facing serious felony charges.

A guilty verdict will not only expose you to long mandatory prison sentences and large fines, but it can also leave a permanent blemish on your record. Even after serving your time, a felony drug conviction can strip you of many of your personal liberties – including the right to vote and the right to own a gun – and you may find it difficult to obtain work or housing.

At the Thole Law Firm, you will find a lawyer who won’t let one mistake ruin your life. He can help you build a solid legal defense that helps you pursue the best possible resolution of your criminal charges.

Over the years, attorney Eric Thole has built a reputation for being a smart, serious litigator. As a former Stillwater and Cottage Grove city attorney and former assistant Washington County prosecutor, Eric Thole provides his clients with special insight into the inner workings of the criminal justice system.

Smart, Dedicated Legal Skill On Your Side

At the Thole Law Firm, your defense starts the second you walk through the door. Before the initial court hearing, attorney Thole can take proactive steps to show prosecutors our clients are serious about changing their behavior and overcoming their legal issues.
