With a distinguished background in both prosecution and defense, along with decades of community involvement, Eric Thole is recognized as a dedicated advocate committed to protecting the rights and futures of his clients.
Eric Thole’s path to becoming a respected defense attorney reflects a strong foundation of discipline, leadership, and achievement. He attended North Dakota State University (NDSU), where he played football and earned a letter as part of the 1985 NCAA Division II National Championship team. In 1986, he transferred to Macalester College, where he contributed to the school’s winningest football team in history. During his academic career, Thole was also honored as the top male scholar-athlete in his graduating class, reflecting his commitment to excellence both on the field and in the classroom.
Following his academic and athletic career, Thole entered the legal profession, beginning his practice at law firms that represented the Cities of Stillwater and Cottage Grove. These early roles provided him with valuable insight into municipal legal matters and the workings of local government law. He later served for eight years as an assistant Washington County attorney, where he prosecuted felony cases and gained significant courtroom experience from the prosecution side of the justice system.
This rare combination of prosecutorial and defense experience allows Thole to anticipate legal strategies from multiple perspectives, strengthening his ability to build effective defense cases for his clients. In 2005, he founded Thole Law Firm with the goal of offering individuals facing legal charges strong, knowledgeable, and client-focused representation.
Since establishing his practice, Eric Thole has defended more than 2,000 individuals in a wide range of legal matters. His experience spans misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors, and serious felony-level allegations. He is known for developing tailored defense strategies based on the unique circumstances of each case, with a focus on achieving fair outcomes and protecting clients’ long-term interests.
“At Thole Law Firm, we believe that a single mistake or allegation should not define a person’s future,” said Eric Thole, Attorney at Law. “Every individual deserves a strong defense and a fair opportunity to present their side of the story.”
Beyond his legal practice, Thole has maintained a long-standing commitment to public service and community involvement in Stillwater. He previously served as a Stillwater City Councilman and has contributed significantly to local youth development initiatives. He is a founding member of both the Stillwater Football Booster Board of Directors and the Stillwater Basketball Booster Board of Directors, demonstrating his dedication to supporting youth athletics and community engagement.
