Massachusetts native Jeffrey Webb loved the Los Angeles lifestyle. He had a
great job as a law partner in the L.A. office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher
LLP, and his life partner, Mark Schuster, was equally happy with his work as
chief of general pediatrics and professor at UCLA. "We both had positions
that were hard to replicate," said Webb, 43.
Even so, Webb and Schuster left the California sunshine in December and
moved to Brookline with their twin sons. It wasn't the promise of enduring a
gloomy Massachusetts winter that beckoned them -- it was the ability to live
in Massachusetts as a legally married couple.
"That was something that was really important to us," said Webb, who married
Schuster in Massachusetts soon after the couple bought a vacation home in
Truro in 2004. Webb has since joined the law firm McDermott, Will & Emery
LLP as a partner in the trial department, and Schuster is now the chief of
general pediatrics and vice chair for health policy research at Children's
Hospital Boston.
