Highly Recommend

Alex is simply amazing. He got my reckless driving ticket to a regular traffic violation. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a attorney

Great Lawyer

Alex relieved me from all the stress associated with the justice system. He made me feel like I was going to 711 instead of the court room. That was how he cared. He spoke very little but I felt how much he cared and was willing and ready to defend me. He was so competent that we won just in one a...ppearance. I will hire him any time and for any case. He is very honest, kind and helpful. Just call him right now. He will guide, help or defend you or if busy will put you in good hands.

Best legal experience ever.

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!!

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."
