> In the United States, a verbal contract is valid up to a contract value of $500.

This depends on both what the payment is for, and which US jurisdiction's law binds. There are circumstances in California, e.g., for which there is a $5,000 limit -- and circumstances for which there is a $100,000 limit.

Which is one reason why you should go to a lawyer.
