Brilliant and very professional
We have him for our son case at PWC VA and he was excellent, polite and helpful. My son was very worried and he called him numerous times but he was very patient with him every time.
"Mr. von Fricken is a smart lawyer and a dedicated advocate for his clients. His client-communication is top notch and he provides the personalized representation clients want and need. He practices in different jurisdictions than I do - so I refer him clients with absolute confidence, knowing they are in good hands."
"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."
