Very professional

I had an outstanding experience working with Alexander Galliher von Fricken. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and reliable throughout the entire process. From the beginning, he explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt confident about how my case was b...eing handled. Thanks to his expertise and attention to detail, both of my citations were dismissed, which was the best possible outcome. He handled everything efficiently and took a lot of stress off my shoulders. His communication was excellent, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about achieving the best result for me. I highly recommend Alexander to anyone in need of a skilled and trustworthy attorney. He delivered exactly what he promised and exceeded my expectations.

Strong, dedicated criminal attorney

I contacted many criminal attorneys before I was referred to Alex, and I’m so glad I found him. Not only did one attorney recommend Alex to me, but another attorney also spoke highly of him and confirmed that he was a very good attorney. That gave me even more confidence in choosing him. From our ...first conversation, Alex made me feel assured and confident that he would be able to help me with my case. He explained everything clearly, treated me with respect, and was always professional and prepared. When we went to court, we won, and the outcome was very beneficial for me and my future. Hiring Alex was absolutely the right decision. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a strong, dedicated criminal attorney.

My court case was dismissed because of Mr. Von Fricken legal assistance.

Alex is a great guy to work with for any legal assistance. He helped me with a traffic summons case. Very professional and knowledgeable attorney. I do highly recommend Maître Von Fricken for any legal consultancy or court representation.

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."
