Fantastic Results from a Caring and Skilled Professional!

Alex helped me with a very challenging traffic violation of running a red light that resulted in an accident, which he was able to get reduced to a non-traffic violation equipment citation. He was extremely knowledgeable and experienced about the legal system from his extensive background working in ...many areas of the profession. He has extensive great professional relationships and connections that he has established with his outstanding legal reputation over the years in the court system that he is able to use for the benefit of his clients. When preparing for my case, Alex was conscientious about replying to my concerns quickly and guided me with the documentation I needed. Always courteous, kind and attentive, even on weekends! The very, very best!

AMAZING "FRICKEN" LAWYER

After unsuccessfully leaving court for my speeding ticket, I saw Alex Von Fricken in the hallway. I stopped him & spoke with him briefly. He handed me his business card & said to give him a call. I contacted Alex & explained my situation. At the end, I hired him to represent me. Best decision I made.... He was very professional, knowledgeable, attentive & extremely quick to reply throughout the whole process. Ohh & he was very patient with me. Alex represented me in court & had the speeding reduced to a much lesser charge with no points on my license, despite my -2 points. Working with him was simple & hassle free. Alex Von Fricken is the fricken BEST... For real. He is committed to seeking a positive outcome in your case. So I HIGHLY recommend him for your legal needs. Nonetheless, don't even think about it... Just hire him. You won't be disappointed!!!

Excellent Lawyer

I would recommend Mr. von Fricken to anyone looking for a traffic attorney. He helped us and made our lives so much easier. Getting a hold of him was so easy. He updated us every step of the way. Never left us wondering about what would happen next. Look no further…you will not find a better law...yer.

Alex as he preferred me to call him did an absolutely incredible job representing me on such short notice.

Alex von Fricken was nothing short of excellent representing me in Fairfax County on a driving on suspended. He was referred to me by a friend on very short notice. He responded within two minutes to my text, and we had a plan to meet up at court the next day. Alex seemed to be very knowledgeable and... familiar with most of the other lawyers and police officers in the court room. He told me to wait as he would consult with the prosecuting attorney. After a brief conversation, we entered the court, my name was called next and to my surprise and delight the judge dismissed the charges. The driving on a suspended was a serious one that Carries a big fine and possible jail time, but Alex was able to get them dropped. I would recommend him to anyone that needs counsel in northern Virginia. Very happy with his professionalism and results, he is a fantastic lawyer.

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."
