Frazer v. Grand CA4/3
Steve Grand hired Ira Frazer as an attorney for himself and his companies. Grand verbally agreed to pay Frazer $5,500 per month, plus 25 percent of the net sale price of any business Grand sold for which Frazer had performed legal services; the parties never had a written agreement. After 19 months, Grand and Frazer parted ways in April 2008.
In June 2009, Grand sold one of his companies for which Frazer had performed legal services. Grand neither provided notice of the sale to Frazer nor paid him a portion of the net profits. Frazer filed this lawsuit for breach of contract after learning from a third party about the sale of yet another of Grand’s businesses for which Frazer had also performed legal services. The jury awarded Frazer damages for the reasonable value of his services to Grand and Grand’s businesses. Grand appealed; we affirm.
Grand argues that the lawsuit is barred by the statute of limitations. We conclude that the discovery rule applies to Frazer’s cause
