Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[A] plaintiff must set forth expert testimony to establish that an attorney breached the duty of care owed to the plaintiff. The only exception to this requirement is when the alleged breach of care is so obvious that it can be determined from the ordinary knowledge and experience of laymen. * * * Finally, an affidavit from the defendant or acting attorney can suffice as a legally sufficient basis upon which to grant a motion for summary judgment absent an opposing affidavit of a qualified expert witness for the plaintiff. See Hoffman v. Davidson (1987), 31 Ohio St.3d 60 , 62 , 31 OBR 165, 508 N.E.2d 958 .”
