“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.”

“I had a reckless driving ticket for speed and needed an attorney. I contacted Brad, and he gave me clear instructions on what to do before the court and for my court date (a nerve-wracking experience for anyone). He is a miracle worker. All charges were dropped, the best possible outcome. If you want a great attorney, Brad is the man.”

“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.”

“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. ”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Olaun Simmons is smart, aggressive, thoroughly prepared and simply an outstanding attorney.”

Scott Nolan, Esq.

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.
