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.
“The lawyers at VFN have been helping our construction company succeed and grow since 2010. We have worked with Randy Frostick to prepare all kinds of contracts, negotiate disputes and protect our rights in lawsuits as he has helped us with our business and employment legal issues and construction disputes. …We highly recommend Randy Frostick and Mike Vanderpool to other business owners who want the best attorneys who really care about their clients”
“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.”
“I have a consultation with Mr. Marshall after my DUI and hit & run. After that meeting, I knew he would be the perfect lawyer to help me maneuver my situation and get the best possible outcome, so I hired him. Brad was very meticulous from start to finish and provided me with very specific information on his approach and even offered me detailed information on things I could do myself to help with the outcome. We worked very well together and had constant communication during the four months it took to resolve my case. He went out of his way to make this difficult time as seamless as possible for myself and my family. The final outcome of a DUI (.19) and hit & run was a dismissal of the hit and run and the DUI was reduced to a reckless driving offense. I could not have hoped for a better outcome. Brad’s professionalism and tireless efforts made this possible, and I most certainly recommend hiring him!”
“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. ”
“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.”

My experience with Attorney Olaun Simmons showed me a lawyer who is professional, knowledgeable, understandable, responsive, dedicated, and compassionate.

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.

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.
“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.”
“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.”
