Rogers was first elected to the Board of Review, which considers appeals of property tax assessments, in 2004. When the Dolton teen's case was filed in 2010, Rogers discussed the case publicly with news reporters on behalf of the family, and documents provided to commissioners at the time of settlement listed him as lead attorney on the case. But when asked about it at the time of the settlement last year, Rogers told the Tribune that his father, who is a lawyer at the firm, represented the family.
