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!

Excellent Attorney with attention to detail...

I was referred to Alex from a family friend. He had used him for a traffic violation and wanted representation at his court hearing. It didn't take too much salesmanship on his part. I called Alex and hired him. From the start, he knew what I should do and what I should expect. He achieved a better r...esult than I thought possible in court. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and professionalism. I strongly suggest him to anyone needing representation.

Client

Alex is the way to go. He is very honest and informative. He helped me get my reckless driving charge reduced to a speeding with a fine. I was instructed of all the steps I needed to take to make the case lean more in my favor. He saved my livelihood and job. I recommend him to anyone in the Same sit...uation as me. I’m forever appreciative of everything he was able to do for me.

Great to work with

Alex was a great guy to work with and did a great job handling my case. He got a reckless down to a non moving with ease. Very professional and very polite. Would absolutely recommend.

Excellent preparation and knowledge much appreciated

Thank you to Alex for ultimately getting my case dismissed at trial by using case law and preparing continuously for all possible outcomes throughout the process. Much appreciated!

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."
