Matthew Anthony von Fricken is an amazing lawyer I would highly recommend to anyone that is in need to defend there innocents. After receiving two charges one felon and one misdemeanor Matthew helped me get both charges nullified.
I asked around for a well known attorney and I got referred to Matthew. I talked to him on the phone and felt comfortable with him so i hired him. My case was really odd and Matthew helped through it and told me exactly what to do and how to do it. He was so responsive all the time and always answered my long list of questions. He was very reassuring and felt like he always had my best interest. He got me the best deal i could have possibly gotten away with in court. He's personable and so easy to talk to. Helped me with my court jitters. I'd say he's like a therapist and an attorney in one. I highly recommend him, he'll have your back.
Matthew is a phenomenal attorney. He has been meticulously detail and focused with the aspects of my case. His diligent work and vast criminal law knowledge led to a successful outcome in my case. I would never want to step foot in a court room again, but with Matt on my side I'm taking the fight.
I was pulled over in Virginia and the police officer said I was suspended from driving in Virginia but he could not see why in the computer. At the time I had never lived in Virginia or had a drivers license there. Apparently I had an issue that I thought was resolved that was not. The notices were sent to Florida but I had moved back to Maryland and never received them. Matt was very clever and when we went to court he brought my lease from Maryland that proved I had left Florida and never received the notices. He got all my charges dropped. I was very happy with his services and I will definitely be hiring him in the future.
Stright forward with a great sense of humor. Has your best interest at heart. Very well spoken and gives feeling of comfort as court can be nerve wrecking. I would 1000% recommend his services so if you are in need, GET A "FRICKEN" LAWYER!!!! Thanx again Matthew VonFricken, you're one of a kind.
Matthew helped my mom to form a company and work with the SBA. He guide my mom through every step and explain every important detail. My mom was really satisfied with his work. He really helps you as much as he can and try to solve any issue that you have. As for my mom who cannot speak English, she was very happy that he was able to explain her the important details in Spanish. She was delighted with Mathew’s work. We are really satisfied and highly recommend him.
Mathew is doing a great job in representing my son, Trevor. I would recommend him highly to anyone. He calls me with updates and always puts my mind at ease.
I was charged in Western Va with Distribution of Cannabis back in 2019. They also had me for 14 Plants (clones), and a couple of other possible felonies, (which they were waiting for the lab tests). By Following Matthew’s Advice almost to the letter, (preemptive voluntary drug tests, among other things), by the time we got to court, he was able to negotiate everything down to 1 misdemeanor distribution charge, no felony, and 2 years unsupervised probation. Matthew Von Fricken is a Miracle Worker!
I have known and worked with several lawyers for different issues over the years and Matthew has been a breath of Fresh Air. He is the most Compassionate, Caring, Knowledgeable, and Skilled lawyer I have worked with. He truly cares about the work he does for his clients. He is honest about cost and sets realistic expectations of the process and cost so that you can make an informed decision. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that asks.
He was responsive and knowledgeable. He clearly explained the process, what was needed to proceed, and possible outcomes. I felt that he dealt with us in an honest and transparent manner. There were no hidden fees. Highly recommend his services.
