Syllabus

Per Mayle, J., the act or omission giving rise to plaintiff's claim for legal malpractice was her attorney's failure to file personal-injury complaint within statute of limitations. Plaintiff filed original complaint for legal malpractice within four-year statute of repose in R.C. 2305.117(B), but voluntarily dismissed and refiled complaint under saving statute outside statute of repose. Expiration of statute of repose barred her refiled legal-malpractice claim.
