“I appreciate all the help from the attorney Olaun Simmons. Thanks to his help that he gave us during our judicial process where we could resolve our case in a satisfactory way. We were facing a zoning violation with Fauquier County due to not having a site plan for the property. In the process of creating the site plan for county approval there were multiple easements and deeds with other parties that had to be made and multiple court hearings to deal with since the county did not give us much of an opportunity to finish the site plan. Olaun did not put us to the side or lower our prioritization. He took our case with great care and always advised us on all possibilities. ”

“Olaun Simmons, I wanted to thank you for your hard work and dedication in helping us obtain the special use permit for PWIC expansion, on Mathis Ave, Manassas, Virginia. I have dealt with many attorneys in the past but you are one of the best.  I thank you for all your efforts, following through, replying to our phone calls and emails.  We appreciate your excellent communications skills and following up with all our design team. It is very hard to find a good attorney who cares about his work and his clients, but by far, you are one of the exceptions and I really enjoyed working with you on this project. We thank you again for your patience and dedication to see the project through Unanimous approval by the City Council.”
