Our client prevailed during the jury trial of his claims against the plaintiffs. The jury rendered special verdicts awarding our client $294,000 on his fraud claim. On the reference portion of the case ordered to be heard by a referee, I obtained an additional $175,000 against the plaintiffs.
The trial judge did not like the jury verdict and issued a directed verdict for the plaintiffs on our verdict. We filed an appeal and the California Court of Appeal reinstated our jury verdict.
