Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm has filed a lawsuit against his parents, accusing them of defrauding him of millions through mishandled accounts and LLCs. The suit, filed Wednesday in Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, seeks at least $3 million in damages. Bohm's parents deny the allegations.
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm accuses his parents, Daniel and Lisa Bohm, of using limited liability companies to siphon millions from his personal financial accounts for their own benefit, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. The complaint demands a judgment of at least $3 million, an accounting of the disputed funds, and other relief. Bohm, drafted third overall by the Phillies in 2018 out of Wichita State University with a $5.85 million signing bonus, has earned more than $12 million in MLB salary and stands to make $10.2 million this season at age 29. The suit details that his parents established two LLCs in 2019 to manage his finances and assets, claiming a 10% interest to serve as authorized representatives. They gained access to his personal accounts and transferred funds into the LLCs under the guise of traditional investments, the lawsuit alleges. Later, in late 2024, they set up two additional LLCs related to Bohm's real estate purchase, advising him against taking title in his own name without explanation. Bohm claims they overstated property liabilities to misappropriate money and, when questioned in January, engaged counsel and proposed charging him $50 per hour for their services. The parents' attorney, Robert Eckard, rejected the claims. 'Mr. and Mrs. Bohm love their son very much and have always acted in his best interests, both personally and professionally and still do so to this day,' Eckard said. 'They are deeply saddened by the allegations made against them in this lawsuit and the sensational false narrative painted here, which they believe are entirely without merit.' The filing comes as the Phillies opened their season Thursday with a 5-3 victory, powered by Bohm's three-run home run.
