“I reached out to Brad to represent me in a legal matter that could have resulted in unfavorable circumstances for my professional career. He immediately guided me through the legal process along with my options and possible outcomes. He was organized, professional and knowledgeable. I couldn’t be happier with the results made possible by his legal services.”
“Bradley helped me with a terrible mistake that I had made and was terrified for the outcome. With his experience and professionalism he helped me get the best possible result for my situation. He was very knowledgeable about different avenues on how to approach my incident. He took the time to check in on me from our first meeting all the way through court and now follows up with me. I would highly recommend his service to anyone.”
“It’s interesting how I ended up hiring Brad as my defense attorney. I met him when he was a CA, but as soon as I found out he became a defense attorney, I knew I wanted no one but him to represent me for my case. He was great at communicating every step in the process, letting me know exactly what to expect, and got the job done quickly.
After hiring Brad as my defense attorney, I felt the anxiety go away, as knew I was in good hands. My response every time when friends and coworkers asked how I could be so calm about my case was this: “If there ever was an attorney to have in my corner for what I’m dealing with, he is it.” Everyone’s case is different, but even though mine was pretty odd and a bit difficult, Brad was able to sort out the mess and make sense of it all.
I highly recommend Brad if you’re looking for a professional, experienced, and dedicated defense attorney!”
“Ms. Kris Spitler is unique in that she has an outstanding ability to summarize issues for senior management in a way that includes the significant elements of the matter and what should be done to remedy or bring to closure what is being considered.”
“With Mike Vanderpool’s zoning and planning expertise, The Pyramid Companies were successful in establishing relationships within Prince William County and were able to effectively obtain site plan approval for the expansion of Manassas Mall.”
“Olaun Simmons is smart, aggressive, thoroughly prepared and simply an outstanding attorney.”
“Brad successfully got my reckless driving ticket lowered to a much more minor moving violation. We had multiple consults, he put together a game plan and executed on it perfectly. I would 100% refer Brad to anyone in a similar position. Well worth his reasonable fee!”
“First off, Bradley was very kind, empathetic, and personable. He explained the process to me and gave his opinion of what should be done and how we would achieve that goal. I followed through with his suggestions and he was spot on with his knowledge by getting my case dismissed without ever even having to go to my court date! Very effective! We are now going for expungement. I would definitely recommend Bradley for his demeanor and know-how of the legal system. Five stars.”
10/10 highly recommended Mr.Marshall. He and his assistant were very quick to respond and offer help with any questions I had. Mr. Marshall was incredibly professional and made this process very quick and pain-free. I was able to get my ticket dismissed thanks to the advice given and the work done. Although, I hope to not ever get another speeding ticket. I highly recommend and will work with this law office again.
“By understanding the situation, asking the right questions and listening to the answers Brad was able to achieve a tremendous result. He did a great job of dispassionately summarizing the situation and giving color on the potential results and issues. He then used his experience and situational awareness to achieve a tremendous result, which we were grateful for.”
A new Panera restaurant is one step closer to becoming a reality in the Sudley Manor Square Shopping Center, thanks to the efforts of Vanderpool, Frostick & Nishanian (VF&N) land use attorney Olaun Simmons. On behalf of his client, Simmons successfully secured approval from the Prince William Board of County Supervisors for a Special Use Permit (SUP) allowing the development of a drive-through restaurant on a portion of the shopping center site.
The SUP pertains to approximately 1.16 acres located within the larger ±18.5-acre parcel at 7809 Sudley Road in Manassas (GPIN 7697-41-6415). The targeted area lies in the northwest corner of the shopping center, about 300 feet southeast of the intersection of Sudley Road and Sudley Manor Drive—a high-traffic commercial corridor.
The approved plan includes the construction of a new commercial building designed to accommodate two separate restaurant spaces divided by a common wall. The east-side tenant space, approximately 2,600 square feet, will be home to the Panera restaurant and include a drive-through feature. The west-side space, approximately 2,375 square feet, is also designated for a restaurant use but will operate without a drive-through.
Simmons guided the application through the County’s detailed land use review process, which involved coordinating with planning staff, traffic engineers, and community stakeholders. He ensured compliance with zoning and development regulations, addressed staff comments, and helped the applicant navigate key issues such as site access, vehicle circulation, queuing, and compatibility with surrounding uses.
At the Board of Supervisors hearing, Simmons presented a thorough case that demonstrated the project’s alignment with the County’s Comprehensive Plan and development goals for the area. He emphasized the economic and community benefits of bringing a high-quality restaurant brand like Panera to the site, including job creation and enhanced dining options for nearby residents and visitors.
The Board voted to approve the SUP, allowing the project to move forward to site plan and building permit stages.
With deep experience in land use law and a track record of successful entitlements across Prince William County and Northern Virginia, Simmons continues to be a trusted advocate for commercial development clients navigating complex regulatory processes.
“Even in the midst of our current pandemic, Mr. Marshall not only talked me through the process honestly but walked with me the whole way through it in a very timely manner. I had looked around locally for an attorney that would fight for me as if it were themselves and I am very satisfied with the outcome. Mr. Marshall and his team are nothing but professional and I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking an attorney to fight for them wholeheartedly.”
“Mr. Marshall got my case reduced dramatically. I was facing serious points and conviction on my DMV record and within 24 hours of hiring Mr. Marshall, he was able to get my case amended with no DMV conviction or points on my record and was able to keep me from having to appear in court. Mr. Marshall was very prompt in resolving this case and staying in communication with me constantly while resolving the issue. I would highly recommend Bradley and he will be the first call if the need ever arises again for a lawyer.”
