“Bradley Marshall was able to help me turn a reckless driving into defective equipment within a week of hiring him. The best lawyer I’ve ever dealt with and if I ever have traffic court again he’s gonna be the first one I call.”
“I have enjoyed a long term relationship with Mike and his team. Since I relocated to this area 30 years ago we have worked together on many successful projects thanks to him and his team’s skill & ability to get projects approved. I have always found them to be very professional, informed as to the issues relating to my projects and prepared when it came to presentations to boards, planning commissions and councils. They work well with the other outside professionals on my team and Mike is truly a team player. I highly recommend his firm and am convinced there are projects I would not have completed without their involvement.”
“Olaun Simmons is smart, aggressive, thoroughly prepared and simply an outstanding attorney.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Kris, Thank you for the incredibly thorough and professional job you did conducting our investigation. We felt like our case was your priority …. The care you took to make our employees feel comfortable was appreciated. We feel confident in the decisions we made based on your findings and professional recommendations which you helped us discern through conversation.”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
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.
“Brad was able to reduce my 6 point speeding ticket to a zero point ticket and save me from having my license suspended. He was easy to work with, replied quickly to all communication and kept me informed of everything that was happening. He got results that surpassed what I had even hoped for. Thank you Brad!”
