With his law degree in hand, Antoine became a North Carolina licensed attorney in 2012. He began his career as a Sergeant-at-Arms for the NC General Assembly before serving as a Staff Attorney for Legal Aid of North Carolina focusing on foreclosure prevention before transitioning to become a Community Economic Development Attorney, focusing on affordable housing issues. Currently, he operates his own practice.
Antoine's commitment to his community is unparalleled. Antoine is a founding member of the Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School Alumni Association and serves on the board of the Southeast Raleigh Community Development Corporation.
Politically, Antoine has worked with Democratic candidates up and down the ballot. He was recognized in 2019 by the Wake County Democratic Party as one of its Rising Stars.
Outside of law and politics, Antoine is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, competes in bodybuilding competitions, and a three time girl dad.- Antoine Marshall is a proud resident of Raleigh for over 25 years, reflecting a deep connection to the community. That dedication is showcased through his involvement with the Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School Alumni Association, and the Southeast Raleigh Community Development Corporation.
- With his educational background; a law degree from Wake Forest School of Law, experience in two Congressional offices and working within the NC General Assembly, Antoine has a deep understanding of policy and how sound policy impacts communities.
- Antoine's work history demonstrates an understanding of key issues within the district. Affordable Housing in a rapidly gentrifying community and community economic development in an area with higher poverty than the surrounding area, Antoine has key understanding on how to address pressing issues in the community.
Access to justice ensures that individuals, regardless of their socio-economic status, have a fair and equal opportunity to seek justice and protect their rights. Most are aware of the Sixth Amendment protection that you have a right to an attorney, but few make the distinction that is only for criminal law. The majority of civil cases that impact housing, custody, and personal safety have no legal counsel. There is only 1 Legal Aid Attorney for every 8,000 low income North Carolinians who qualify for Legal Aid service. By prioritizing and enhancing access to legal representation, we empower citizens to navigate complex legal processes, promoting fairness and preventing injustice.
The Case for Reparations by Ta-Nehisi Coates
It is up to the members of the legislature to represent the needs of their specific district and the governor to represent the needs of the state as a whole and find compromise in the manner of doing so.
Beyond that North Carolina is a rapidly growing state and housing is a major need in many of the large counties.
I exhausted every option to see if there was a way to keep her home, but her income consistent of her husband's Social Security benefits, was insufficient for any option to work. She was going to lose her house and there was nothing I could do to stop it. And as I was breaking the news to her, she accepted the information, and to my surprise she asked if she could pray for me and my career (knowing I was a new attorney).
But the most important part is the soundness of the policy. Policy that solves a problem with strong disagreement is more desirable than policy that everyone agrees on but doesn't solve the problem.
If the property is sold the percentage assistance initially provided is the percentage taken out of the equity to go back to paying for the program.

These experiences gave Antoine the insight to see how sound policy could benefit communities.

- 4 individuals selected by the General Assembly appointed by the Majority and Minority leaders in the House and Senate
- 8 civilians selected by a lottery system overseen by the NC Secretary of State.
2 Republican, 2 Democrat and 4 Unaffiliated.
Each individual appointed by a legislative leader has the ability to strike 1 person chosen by lottery for their party slot and 1 person for the independent slot.
The book Things Fall Apart
A willingness to listen to a broad arrange of groups
There are several types of experiences outside of serving in elected office that exposes one to deep dives into policy outcomes such as through the non-profit world or working with businesses heavily influenced by government policy.
I believe this is because through gerrymandering we have a legislature that does not have public support and rather than get a majority through convincing voters they have found it more convenient to rig rules and cheat their way into a majority.
