Our team of Indiana attorneys at Wagner Reese are excited to announce that Attorney Jason Reese, a Partner of our firm, has been named a Distinguished Barrister. The honorees will be officially celebrated on May 8, 2019 during the “Leadership in Law” reception. This is a fantastic achievement for Attorney Reese and the firm.
