Alec Bohm’s Family Financial Lawsuit Ends in Confidential Settlement
9/4/2026, 11:57:06 PM
Core Event: Multimillion-Dollar Dispute Resolved
Philadelphia Phillies infielder Alec Bohm filed a lawsuit on March 25 alleging that his parents, Daniel and Lisa Bohm, mismanaged his earnings by using limited-liability companies (LLCs) to divert money from his personal accounts and the Alec Bohm Foundation. The complaint sought at least $3 million and the return of $528,618 transferred to an attorney-trust account. After nearly six months of litigation, the parties reached an out-of-court settlement shortly before a scheduled discovery hearing at Philadelphia’s City Hall. Settlement terms remain confidential.
Background & Context
Since 2019, Daniel and Lisa Bohm oversaw Alec’s finances, establishing LLCs to hold his salary, endorsement income, and investments. The lawsuit claimed the parents “converted” funds to personal use and billed their son $50 per hour for managing his affairs. The parents said the entities were created on the advice of Bohm’s attorney and financial adviser and that any lack of knowledge on the player’s part stemmed from his focus on baseball.
