He founded Freedom to Marry, the gay and non-gay partnership that worked to win marriage equality nationwide until its 2015 victory. Before founding Freedom to Marry, Wolfson served as marriage project director for Lambda Legal Defense & Education Fund, was co-counsel in the historic Hawaii marriage case, Baehr v. Miike, and participated in numerous gay rights and HIV/AIDS cases. Between his studies at Yale College and Harvard Law School, Wolfson spent two years with the Peace Corps in West Africa and then worked as a state prosecutor and special counsel in the Iran/Contra investigation.

James Dale, the National Law Journal in 2000 named Wolfson one of "the 100 most influential lawyers in America."
