Knowledgeable, skilled lawyer offers exceptional client experience

I’ve worked with Alex both as a tenant and a landlord and each time he’s provided exceptional services and client support. His legal guidance was timely, relevant and saved me a lot of money. He responds promptly and has a professional demeanor. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal serv...ices.

An absolute MIRACLE WORKER!

Simply the best! Words cannot even begin to describe how grateful I was to have him standing beside me in court. Not only was he attentive and communicative during the whole process, but he genuinely cared about the outcome of my case. He guided me on what to expect every step of the way. I was c...harged with severe reckless driving (97 in a 55) and he was able to get my reckless driving dropped down to just a speeding ticket and a meager fee. I cannot thank him enough for the work he did to ensure no jail time and my license not being suspended—which were HUGE factors for me. He is intelligent, authentic, and an expert in his profession. There is no one else I would recommend to my friends and family if (god forbid) they incur any legal infractions. My advice? Hire him immediately! It was the best decision I've ever made. Thank you Alex for helping me through one of the most challenging times of my life. You're simply the BEST!

Alex is the Fricken best!

Alex is super professional, responsive and affordable! I had a civil case about my dogs I got 6 tickets from animal control and I was worried because some of the information he asked for was not complete and so last minute! when it came time for the court date Alex got all 6 tickets dismissed! I hig...hly recommend his services! Thanks Alex your the Fricken best!

Great experience

Can't recommend Alex more highly. He handled an eviction case that unfortunately proceeded all the way to the trial stage. He prepared me ahead of time with what exactly to expect and I am pleased to say that the whole process went smoothly and successfully. Alex was so well prepared that the defe...ndants were overwhelmed and possession was granted within a matter minutes. He was completely transparent regarding his fees and anticipated costs involved during the entire process and there were no surprises. Not only is Alex a great attorney, he's a genuinely good guy and am privileged to know him.

Highly recommend!

After receiving a botched service from another attorney for a criminal charge, I hired Alex. Alex was able to step in and save my career!! Alex reworked a deal with the Arlington prosecutor that ultimately resulted in all charges being dismissed and without me having to pay court fees or any other fe...es associated with these charges. He was patient, explained every detail of the process along the way, and kept me informed of all options available to me. Alex is capable of understanding the way the system works from a legal defense perspective and as a prosecutor, having been a former prosecutor himself. His advice was spot on and everything worked out in my favor. I would highly recommend him! Thank you, Alex!!

"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."
