The commonwealth of Virginia will pay $520,000 to lawyers who successfully challenged the state’s ban on same-sex marriage, including $459,000 to Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.
The settlement was filed on Wednesday in the federal district court in Alexandria, Va. The agreement represented a sharp cut in the fees initially put on the table by Gibson Dunn and Virginia Beach, Va.-based firm Shuttleworth, Ruloff, Swain, Haddad & Morecock.
