Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the relator’s attorney‑fee award, setting the fee at $28,120 based on a reasonable hourly rate of $400. The Court rejected the respondents’ reliance on the “good‑faith exception” and on prior statutory reduction factors, holding those arguments inapplicable after the fee award had been made.
