Can't find a better attorney in his specialty

Professional, communicative, personal, and gets results. He was able to get my reckless driving pled down to a $100 fine and nothing else. More than that, he explained the whole process and kept my anxiety at bay. Well worth every penny he charged.

Felony and misdemeanor charges

Alex was there for me during what has been hands down the worst experience of my life. I was arrested and charged with felony abduction and misdemeanor assault. I truly thought my life was over. Alex was recommended to me through a friend of a friend and I’m confident that choosing him to represent m...e was the right choice. He was extremely responsive-even communicating with me on his family vacation. Alex reassured me I wouldn’t be going back to jail, and also discussed a plan for my defense while going over the realistic outcomes. He was there for me whenever I had any questions, and handled all of my concerns and inquiries with warm professionalism. Then court day came. What ended up happening was a complete dismissal of BOTH charges. I was stunned. Words cannot express my gratitude for the work Alex did. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a defense lawyer. The reviews are true-Alex is the best!

"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."
