Hands down the best

I highly recommend Alex to anyone dealing with traffic violations. I called him on a Monday with court scheduled for Thursday, and he immediately got to work. He was extremely responsive and made the entire process simple and stress-free. I followed his clear instructions, provided photo evidence, an...d by the time court came around, everything was dismissed. Quick, professional, and effective — Alex gets results.

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!

Excellent attorney if you or your child needs one!

Alex was awesome. My son at 17 had a reckless driving ticket and Alex negotiated a wonderful deal for him. I forgot the exact name of the final offense but in the end it wasn’t even a speeding ticket so that it wouldn’t go against his record nor impact my insurance. He was always open to answeri...ng any questions we had and he very helpful. I hope I never need an attorney again but if I do I’ll call Alex.

Well done!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Alexander Galliher was amazing! He handled my traffic light ticket in Prince William County with professionalism and got a great outcome. He was clear, responsive, and made the process stress-free. Highly recommend him!

Saved me tremendously

Mr Von Fricken came as a recommendation from another attorney I had the pleasure of working with. He was very professional and gave me the facts straight up. He made the process as simple as possible, answered any/ all questions I had about my court case, and was easily accessible. I would highly rec...ommend him to anyone in need.

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."
