Reckless driving charge reduced to speeding

Alex was very easy to work with. My son received a reckless driving ticket that turned out to be on Federal property (road bordered Bull Run Battlefield) so it turned out to be an even bigger deal than it already was and we had to go to US District court! He walked us through the process and made rec...ommendations that ultimately reduced his charges to a “normal” speeding ticket. He was very responsive to inquiries and spent time preparing my son for what to expect during his court date. All in all the outcome was as good as could be expected. Would definitely hire again though hopefully won’t have to!

Knows what he’s doing

I highly recommend Alexander. He was able to dismiss the reckless driving charge against me and answered every question I asked him. Highly recommend!

Best attorney

I can’t thank Mr. Von Fricken enough for his outstanding work on my case. From the beginning, he provided expert guidance, kept me informed, and fought tirelessly on my behalf. His support and legal skills made all the difference, and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. Highly recommended! ... If you’d like it to be even more personalized, let me know, and I can refine it further!

Amazing person, helped dismiss case instantly and fast.

I can't thank Alexander enough for the incredible job he did handling my case. I was falsely accused of assault, and the stress was overwhelming. From the moment he took over, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. His professionalism, attention to detail, and deep understanding of the law gave me co...nfidence that I was in the right hands. He communicated with me every step of the way, making sure I understood the process and what to expect. What impressed me most was his ability to stay calm under pressure and his unwavering commitment to fighting for justice. Thanks to Alexander, the case was resolved in my favor, and my name was cleared. If you're facing a legal battle, I highly recommend him—he is not just a lawyer, but a true advocate for his clients.

Great attorney

After a shady plumber took advantage of me and furthermore had the audacity to sue me, I was referred to Alex. He was professional, knowledgeable and helped me not only get the other suit dropped but we countersued and won! I hope never need a lawyer again but if I do my first call will be Alex.

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."
