• 2017 Ohio 5777

Syllabus

Trial court did not err in finding that OVSH had rebutted the presumption of service of the summons and compliant where it demonstrated that the statutory agent and sole member of the limited liability company had not received notice of the lawsuit or a copy of the summons and complaint because the spouse of the statutory agent, who signed the certified mail receipt, intentionally hid the lawsuit from the statutory agent. In the absence of valid service, the trial court had no personal jurisdiction over OVSH, and the judgment entered against OVSH was void.
