“When I first contacted Mr. Marshall he gave me three possible outcomes: a bad one, a good one, and an ideal one. In the end, he was able to secure the ideal outcome. Mr. Marshall was extremely proactive and took time to explore every possible avenue of action. He worked diligently to collect every detail of the case and was consistent about checking in with me to provide any updates. I never had to appear in court, and the charges were dropped. Couldn’t get much better. Thank you, Mr. Marshal.”
Good customer service. Meghan Phillips managed to win my custody case, very good lawyer, always on the lookout for her very kind clients all the time, I recommend this law firm 100 percent. They are honest, what I like the most is that they know what they are doing and are always aware of their clients.
“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.”
My firm has used VF&N for real estate legal matters for 20+ years in Prince William County. They have always performed for us.
Most recently we needed to gain approval for a Special Use Permit and hired Olaun Simmons to represent the ownership. Through a collaborative team effort, with Olaun directing the process, we succeeded in gaining the SUP approval in less time than we originally expected. We have already engaged Olaun again to assist with our utility easement work. We highly recommend their services.
“Working with Kate Beurmann-O’Neill and team was an incredible experience. She guided me through one of the most difficult and emotional times of my life with professionalism, compassion, and unwavering dedication. From the very beginning, Kate took the time to understand every detail of my case and always made me feel heard and supported.
Her preparation for trial was outstanding, she was strategic, organized, and completely on top of every fact and document. During court, she was calm but powerful, articulating my position with confidence and clarity. The outcome was better than I could have hoped for, and it’s because of her expertise and hard work.
Beyond her legal skill, Kate genuinely cared about me and my daughter’s well-being. She was patient when things got stressful and always explained the process in a way I could understand. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone going through a family law matter, she’s not only an exceptional attorney but also a kind and steady advocate when you need one most.”

“Bradley Marshall represented me for my DUI charge in 2020. I was unfamiliar with the process and he provided exceptional guidance throughout. He was both knowledgeable and understanding of my particular situation and I felt completely comfortable with him handling my case. Not only did he negotiate a favorable outcome for me, he has remained responsive and has continued to provide assistance even after the conclusion of the court case. I would recommend his counsel to anyone.”

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.
“Mr. Marshall was in short, amazing. I contacted him in panic off of a referral from a neighbor and within the first several minutes of our consult call, I felt at ease. My case had many administrative issues which caused delays: which was causing problems for my work. He was creative and innovative and obviously very effective in discussing with prosecutors because he was able to get my case dismissed several weeks earlier allowing me to move forward with some work. I fully recommend Mr. Marshall, and I really hope I don’t need his services again, but if I do I won’t hesitate to call.”
“I’ve worked with the team at Vanderpool, Frostick & Nishanian for over seven years and have always found them to be honest and reliable. I like the fact that they are local and have deep community roots, I feel that this has benefited my business because they have the power to call in a favor in order to speed something along. Their timeliness is something I greatly appreciate. I wouldn’t hire another firm for my business, I will always go with VF&N.”
