After receiving a botched service from another attorney for a criminal charge, I hired Alex. Alex was able to step in and save my career!! Alex reworked a deal with the Arlington prosecutor that ultimately resulted in all charges being dismissed and without me having to pay court fees or any other fe...es associated with these charges. He was patient, explained every detail of the process along the way, and kept me informed of all options available to me. Alex is capable of understanding the way the system works from a legal defense perspective and as a prosecutor, having been a former prosecutor himself. His advice was spot on and everything worked out in my favor. I would highly recommend him! Thank you, Alex!!

God is great! And, he surely blessed Mr. Fricken with outstanding skills. I contacted with Fricken because I received a ticket for traveling over 15mph. After consultation, I hired him, and he was able to negotiate my ticket down to a “non moving violation”. I’m so elated that I had the presence o...f mind to hire him. He has alleviated my concerns and kept the door open for my prospects for my new conditional job offer and employment. God puts good people in “our” way for a reason, and he definitely send you to me. Thank you sir!

Alex is the lawyer that you want defending you! Alex was not only professional, knowledgeable, and understanding, but also confident and caring. Alex helped me with my traffic ticket by getting the case dismissed, where I didn't receive any points on my license and knocked down the payment fee. Alex ...reviewed my options I had going into the case with me and consolidated me for which options I would prefer if matters went a certain way. I felt confident in Alex, and trusted that he would be able to make the right decision. He made sure that I had a full understanding of all the details which made me feel prepared. If you need a lawyer, I HIGHLY recommend Alex, you won't be able to find anyone better than him!

We could not recommend Alex von Fricken more highly. Mr. von Fricken helped us with a complex tenant-landlord case. He provided us a clear and well-reasoned approach to managing a difficult relationship with a landlord. He handled all communications with landlord’s representative as we attempted to... get hazardous conditions remedied amicably. At the same time, he ensured our legal position was preserved under the newly-enacted changes to the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (VRLTA). He laid the groundwork, step-by-step, to ensure our Tenant's Assertion case was well documented and on the strongest legal footing. He was patient and ever available to advise on a myriad of challenging house conditions that seemed to be endless. When it came time to litigate the case, Mr. von Fricken was a fantastic. He guided us through the development of a timeline and supporting exhibits, identifying which elements were the most significant to the legal argument and laying aside others that - while upsetting-were not as relevant. During the three-hour trial, he maintained a pleasant demeanor while eviscerating the defendant’s case. While issuing the verdict in our favor, the judge was complementary to both attorneys. However, we were the ones that exited the courtroom with smiles on our faces:)
