Kept it simple

I can’t recommend this attorney enough. He was professional, prepared, and helped get my reckless driving charge reduced to a basic speeding ticket, which made a huge difference for my future. He kept me informed throughout the process and clearly knew exactly how to handle my case in court. Highly r...ecommend if you need someone who knows what they’re doing.

Best in business

Alex had my misdemeanor charges dropped. He was very good communicating with me since the beginning and till the end to make sure I understood what was happening. Very happy with the outcome. He showed the utmost professionalism throughout my entire case. I highly recommend Alex to anyone, he truly ...puts your best interest first.

Great lawyer, very professional and got me an outcome better than I expected. Highly recommend.

One of the best lawyers you can ever have. I was charged with reckless driving, tinted plate cover, and a double solid line violation. Even though it was my fault, he still got the tickets dismissed. Reckless driving is rarely dismissed, but he made it happen. I really appreciate everything he did—hi...ghly recommend him.

He made sure that I understood what was going on and explained things clearly. I am extremely thankful for his profession...alism and dedication. Highly recommend.

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."
