Obergefell attorneys want more than $1 million in fees and expenses
The Ohioan attorneys who took on the Obergefell case filed a request Friday for more than $1,100,000 (€891,223) in expenses and legal fees for the case.
They argue the case was difficult and resulted in the landmark change of the laws regarding marriage, and note few attorneys would have otherwise taken on the case.
Jim Obergefell sued the state of Ohio’s health director for refusing to list him as the surviving spouse of his husband, Jim Arthur – the two were married in Maryland.
The state case grew to a national campaign in the United States to legalize gay marriage in the country.
