Cyrus’ client sued for breach of an oral contract to pay profits from the purchase and sale of an undeveloped lot in a popular commercial area in Southern California.

The same undeveloped property was sold less than three years later for $17.25 million. The jury awarded over $1.78 million in damages to the client and denied the investors’ retaliatory cross-claims.
