## Key points

- Lilliana Kerr died aged three when a 350lb table fell on her.
- Her family’s settlement share was not delivered.
- Her former lawyer was disbarred and ordered to pay restitution.

## Summary

Tabatha Kerr says she remains devastated nearly ten years after her three-year-old daughter, Lilliana, was killed when a heavy table fell on her at a church gym in Michigan. Her fight for justice has been compounded by the loss of settlement money that was meant to support her family.

Kerr won a $2.5 million wrongful-death settlement, but says she never received her family’s share, reported as about $600,000. Her former lawyer, Gregory Rohl, was disbarred after a complaint alleged he misused funds and failed to distribute court-ordered money; he pleaded no contest and was ordered to pay $659,821.44 in restitution, plus costs. Rohl said he never knowingly took a client’s money and blamed others involved in handling the funds.
