In addition to serving as Gentry Locke’s managing partner, Marston is president of the Virginia State Bar, a post he will hold through June 2026. A graduate of the University of Virginia and George Mason University’s law school, Marston joined Gentry Locke in 1994 and specializes in construction law, including contract negotiations, payment disputes and insurance matters.
He has a lengthy history of leadership in the state bar. He currently leads the bar’s executive committee and formerly served on the budget and finance committee. In July, Marston rotated off the board for the Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance, and he completed his three-year presidency of the Roanoke Regional Partnership board in 2024.
WHAT PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED TO LEARN ABOUT ME: I grew up in a very rural part of Virginia — Red House, on the border of Charlotte and Appomattox counties. Both sets of grandparents were tobacco farmers. This continued with my father, who not only farmed but, along with my mother, ran a grocery store in Red House.
