Managing Director Ryan Marsh, PhD provided an expert report and testimony in a high-stakes case involving real estate investment fraud. A Houston jury found in favor of the plaintiff, based in part on Dr. Marsh’s testimony.  

Dr. Marsh was retained by McCathern, Shokouhi, Evans to provide expert testimony and quantify damages on behalf of their client. The complex dispute centered around a real estate investment transaction in which the defendant, the general partner and attorney, was alleged to have defrauded the plaintiff. 

Dr. Marsh conducted rigorous analysis to assess the damages arising from defendant’s conduct and the at-issue real estate transaction. He issued an expert report in April 2024, testified at deposition in June 2024, and delivered trial testimony before a jury in the 295th District Court of Harris County, Texas in September 2025. At trial, Dr. Marsh delivered clear, compelling insights, offering a supported range of reasonable values that quantified the plaintiff’s losses and helped the jury better understand the financial impact of the defendant’s conduct. 

Following an intense eight-day trial in October 2025, the jury ruled in favor of the plaintiff on all six counts of fraud presented to them and delivered a $1.71 million verdict, within the range Dr. Marsh identified.
