Awesome reliable Lawyer

Such an Amazing lawyer. Got my charges totally dismissed. Communication: He is always a text away. Off hours, even Sunday nights. Affordability: He charged me very reasonably. Way less than what I would have incurred from penalty fees and insurance premium upcharges. Personable: he talks to you l...ike a friend who is trying to really help. Knowledgable: He knew exactly what to do and things I needed to do before court. Wholeheartedly recommend him.

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.

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, Very Helpful and Knowledgeable. Highly Recommended!!

After receiving a Reckless Driving citation, I hired Mr. Von Fricken to be my attorney. Upon first meeting, he made clear and communicated exactly what was needed from me in order to get the charge reduced. In the courtroom, he was very helpful and knowledgeable in walking me through the process, whi...ch made everything so much easier and less stressful. Thanks to Mr, Von Fricken, my reckless driving charge was dismissed. I highly recommend him for any traffic and other court matters.

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."
