Exceptional Representation Under Tight Deadlines

I can’t recommend Alex von Fricken highly enough. Due to a clerical issue, I only connected with Alex just days before I was scheduled to be in court. Despite the extremely short timeline, he immediately took ownership of the case, got up to speed quickly, and handled everything with professionali...sm and confidence. He was responsive, clear in his communication, and made sure I understood the process and my options every step of the way. Most importantly, he delivered results - securing an extremely favorable judgment that well exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for an attorney who is sharp, reliable, and truly advocates for his clients, Alex is the person you want in your corner.

Mr. Von Fricken was reliable, knowledgeable, and extremely professional from start to finish. He communicated clearly, was always straight to the point, and made the entire process easy to navigate. He leveraged his experience effectively and was able to get my case dismissed, handling everything qui...ckly and efficiently. I was in and out of court in under an hour. I absolutely recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled and dependable attorney.

Thanks to his expertise and attention to detail, both of my citations were dismissed, which was the best possible outcome. He handled everything efficiently and took a lot of stress off my shoulders. His communication was excellent, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about achieving the best result for me. I highly recommend Alexander to anyone in need of a skilled and trustworthy attorney.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Alex von Fricken is a highly skilled and competent lawyer. His background as a former prosecutor makes him especially well suited to defend those accused of crimes because he knows exactly how the other side works and thinks. He is an excellent trial lawyer, yet he is able to use his keen negotiation skills to achieve the desired result for many clients without having to go to trial. He keeps his clients well informed and educates them about all possible outcomes of their case. I highly recommend Alex von Fricken to represent your interests in both criminal and civil matters."
