Same-Sex Marriage
The Law firm of Powell Law Group was happy to host the couple of Claudia Flores and Kimberly Cifuentes, for a wedding ceremony in our Midlothian office.
Our office has consistently sought justice for all segments of our community, and Wayne Powell was an early supporter of same-sex marriage when it became legalized in the United States in 2015 with the Supreme Court ruling of Obergefell v. Hodges. That same year, the firm hosted one of the first gay weddings in the Richmond area, the union of Eva Reyes and Wendy Villeda. Eva and Wendy went on to share their experience and referred Kimberly to the Powell Law Group when she and Claudia were seeking for someone to marry them.
The Civil Celebrate, Frederick Hodnett, is a long-time friend of Wayne Powell’s and they served together in the Army Reserves. He performed the Cifuentes/Flores ceremony on July 30, 2019 at 3PM.
At Powell Law Group we think its important that the firm stands for the importance of equality, equitable treatment of all parts of our society and we are dedicated to the proposition that the government should not prevent those people who love each other to marry each other, regardless of their sexual orientation.
