At Rogers Sevastianos & Bante LLP, we know that criminal charges can threaten every aspect of a person’s life — freedom, family, career, and reputation. Our role is to stand between the accused and the power of the government, ensuring that rights are protected and that the justice system treats every client fairly. Recent results obtained by attorney John P. Rogers demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.
Case Dismissed – Child Endangerment (People v. H.H.)
In Madison County, Illinois, H.H. was facing charges of endangerment of a child — a charge that can bring severe penalties, long-lasting stigma, and disruption of family life. After filing a motion to dismiss on behalf of the defendant, the case was dismissed after the prosecutor dropped it. This outcome protected H.H. not only from legal consequences but also from the lasting personal and professional damage that comes with such an accusation.
Federal Sentencing – False Statements in Health Care Matters (USA v. E.S.)
In the Eastern District of Missouri, E.S. was charged with making false statements related to health care matters — a federal offense that carries the possibility of lengthy prison terms and heavy fines. These cases are aggressively prosecuted and often involve complex regulations. By presenting a strong defense and advocating effectively, John Rogers secured a sentence of five years of probation rather than prison time. This result allowed E.S. to avoid incarceration and continue rebuilding their life while meeting probationary requirements.
Case Dismissed – Aggravated Use of Electronic Communication Device (People v. M.J.)
In Montgomery County, Illinois, M.J. was charged with aggravated use of an electronic communication device resulting in death. This is among the most serious criminal allegations a person can face. John Rogers took the case and argued a lack of probable cause and a lack of evidence. After review of the evidence and John Rogers’ strong arguments, all of the charges against M.J. were dismissed. This dismissal spared the client from potentially life-altering consequences and reinforced the importance of mounting an aggressive, thorough defense.
Why These Results Matter
While no two cases are alike, these results underscore the critical importance of hiring a skilled defense attorney as early as possible. Whether in federal court or state court, John P. Rogers has a proven record of achieving favorable results by challenging evidence, filing strategic motions, and ensuring that prosecutors are held to their burden of proof.
If you or a loved one has been accused of a crime, you deserve a defense that is as committed and determined as the prosecution.
