Traffic Violation Case

Alex was a fantastic lawyer! He was very responsive via email and phone. He even gave me his personal number, which allowed me to receive immediate replies to any questions or concerns that I had. It was a very easy process to hire Alex. Alex is very nice and knowledgeable, and his prior experiences ...as a prosecutor were very helpful in gaining insight into the case. I wouldn’t have received a positive result in my case if I did not hire Alex to represent me. I strongly encourage you to hire Alex!

Amazing Lawyer!

Alex was nothing short of an amazing lawyer. He was able to help me get off two reckless driving tickets with ease. He was constantly communicating with me and always after my best interest. I couldn’t recommend a lawyer more!

10/10

I was pulled over for driving while using a handheld device… I was going to pay the $100 fine off and not go to court but my lawyer insisted I would leave with points on my license. Knowing I have a perfect driving record, that’s the last thing I wanted all over a cell phone! Alex represented me in c...ourt and I was the very few that had the ticket reduced, no points on my license and a very small court fine!

I highly recommend

Alexander is a great lawyer, represented me during a Reckless driving ticket, got it dismissed, very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend

Happy to hire him again

Alex is a fantastic lawyer. As a return client with a somewhat negatively impacted driving record, to say the least, he was able to talk my speeding ticket for 13 over down to a zero point violation after I had appealed the previous decision from the district court. A great lawyer who is committed to... his clients.

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."
