Professional, Knowledgeable, and Very Supportive Attorney

I had a very positive experience working with Alexander Galliher von Fricken. From the beginning, he was professional, respectful, and took the time to carefully listen to my situation. He explained the legal process clearly and made sure I understood my options before moving forward. Throughout t...he process, he was responsive, patient, and very knowledgeable. His guidance helped me feel confident and less stressed during a difficult time. He handled my matter with care and professionalism and always communicated in a clear and honest way. I truly appreciate his support and dedication. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a reliable and skilled attorney. Thank You

Exceptional Representation Under Tight Deadlines

I can’t recommend Alex von Fricken highly enough. Due to a clerical issue, I only connected with Alex just days before I was scheduled to be in court. Despite the extremely short timeline, he immediately took ownership of the case, got up to speed quickly, and handled everything with professionali...sm and confidence. He was responsive, clear in his communication, and made sure I understood the process and my options every step of the way. Most importantly, he delivered results - securing an extremely favorable judgment that well exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for an attorney who is sharp, reliable, and truly advocates for his clients, Alex is the person you want in your corner.

New Beginnings!

This experience with Mr. Von have been nothing short of amazing!! I just knew that this situation was going to end badly for me. Through all my worrying and negative thoughts, Mr. Von was there to help navigate me through it all. He answered EVERY call, EVERY text!!! That alone spoke volumes for me. ...I appreciated that most. He was very kind and understanding. He didn’t make any promises but assured that he was going to do his very best to get me out this situation. And At the end of it all I came out on TOP!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH MR. ALEX VON!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!

Reckless infraction

Alex was amazing !! He was referred to me by another lawyer, being that my lawyer was not able to represent me at that time. He quickly learned my case and made me comfortable throughout the process. He was a true professional; attentive, transparent and always a call away. If you have a case within... the dmv area I recommend speaking with Alex!

Best Lawyer I've Had

Alex was the best lawyer I've worked with by far. The level of transparency, advise, and availability when needed was truly a gamechanger for my court case and my mental health. I was charged with 2 misdemeanors, and 1 felony in Arlington County. Alex was able to get the felony and 1 of the misdemean...ors dismissed while having the other misdemeanor charge reduced to just a driving infraction. I am very thankful for the service and would highly recommend Alex if you need services in the Virginia area.

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."
