I don’t often need a lawyer in my personal life, but I am glad I connected with Alex von Fricken when I did. He clearly outlined the steps he would take to handle my case and maintained timely communication throughout the process. He is knowledgeable and attentive and I am extremely pleased in the... way he represented me. His professional experience helped my case be settled quickly in my favor. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need legal advice and assistance.

AMAZING "FRICKEN" LAWYER

After unsuccessfully leaving court for my speeding ticket, I saw Alex Von Fricken in the hallway. I stopped him & spoke with him briefly. He handed me his business card & said to give him a call. I contacted Alex & explained my situation. At the end, I hired him to represent me. Best decision I made.... He was very professional, knowledgeable, attentive & extremely quick to reply throughout the whole process. Ohh & he was very patient with me. Alex represented me in court & had the speeding reduced to a much lesser charge with no points on my license, despite my -2 points. Working with him was simple & hassle free. Alex Von Fricken is the fricken BEST... For real. He is committed to seeking a positive outcome in your case. So I HIGHLY recommend him for your legal needs. Nonetheless, don't even think about it... Just hire him. You won't be disappointed!!!

Best Lawyer in Northern VA

I was recommended by Alex through a coworker for a case my juvenile son had with the school board. Heeding Alex’s advice and recommendations we were able to get the case dismissed and my son changed his life pursuing a career in the US Navy and changing his life for the better. I keep Alex on speed d...ial for anything I may need, and as recently as today he has helped me to have charges dismissed and I could not be more grateful. I recommend Alex to all of my friends and family who may be in need of legal representation and he has not failed. Alex is always willing to take a case and is available 24hrs to speak with me even if it’s just me having anxiety over the matter. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone in any situation. He is very thorough and makes you feel at ease when going through the court system. Alex is very professional and I am very pleased with his services.

Awesome Lawyer

I had the pleasure of being represented by Alexander. I hired him two times and both times he did awesome. One was for a car accident and he got to dismissed the case. My second time and im very not happy of what i did. But Alexander was there all the time with me to make it easier he helped me get t...wo charges dismissed and I’m so thankful for him now im not worried I’ll be in my record. He answers really quickly. His fast with your case tells you the details and what can happened and finds a way to help you. Any doubt i had or question he was always there to answer. So I’ll Definitely recommend Alexander as a Lawyer very professional.

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."
