Lawyer

Alexander Galliher von Fricken was very helpful in advising me about the ticket that I got. He replied fast, was cautious and actively listening to what my situation was and how to resolve it.

Late Notification - Excellent Results

I Received a Wreckless Driving Ticket in Feb, referred to Alex by another Atty. Alex took on my case while boarding a flight and forwarded me instructions, a strategy and instilled confidence thru this nerve wrecking experience. Case was dismissed. An exceptionally bright, competent & professional At...ty who draws the respect of Judges, Prosecutors & most impressively, his peers. Would recommend Alex to all! Mahalo Nui Loa Alika

Never even got to meet my guardian angel

I had a good driving record (no tickets in the last 10-15 years) but I made a mistake and was caught (passing on the shoulder on I-395). Alex was recommended by another lawyer that my sister had referred me to (the other lawyer did not practice in Arlington County). He made no big claims but put... me at ease that possibilities were good. He had me take a defensive driving course, had me look up and send my driving record and that was it. One of my worries was a vacation I was planning to go on, with my assigned court date being in the middle of it. But Alex had me sign a power of attorney and in fact said sometimes its even better for only him to show up at court. He then did have the date changed, and even though I was available on the next date, in concurrence with Alex, I didn't go to the court. I was beyond just happy to get his text later that day that my charge was reduced to a faulty equipment with $172 fine (including cc fee etc). While I intend to not make mistakes in the future, I knew my cleaner driving record would help me in case I do end up in a situation like this..... On top of having retained my driving record, I now know a guy who can make this process very painless with the best outcome as well... A sincere thanks to Alex for keeping me from becoming more vulnerable!

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."
