Sevastianos represented the plaintiff, a landlord of a shopping center in Ladue, Missouri. The client leased commercial space to a corporate tenant in St. Louis County, and had the owners of the business sign personal guarantees securing the financial obligations of the corporate tenant under the lease. The case was tried against two personal guarantors, one of which disputed the amount of the landlord's debt, and the other of which claimed he never signed the particular guarantee. Neither defendant's guarantee was notarized, and both original guarantees had been lost by the plaintiff.

Sevastianos mediated and settled a large personal injury claim for Ms. Ellie Cotton, another wonderful client. Ms. Cotton was badly beaten at a local station of a multi-national gasoline distributor, while standing in line and waiting to pay for her purchases. The initial investigation of the claim revealed that several similar events, including assaults and other violent criminal activity, occurred on the property for years before the incident in question. In fact, there had been at least six similar incidents in as many months on the property and the owner was well aware of these problems.
