Indiana Lawyer and the Indianapolis Business Journal honored twenty three attorneys and judges from across the state and across practice types who have contributed to efforts to diversify the Hoosier legal profession.

Other honorees included two former Indiana Supreme Court justices, a Seventh Circuit Court justice, and partners from the largest law firms in Indiana.

Heiser was one of the youngest recipients of the award.

“When [Seventh Circuit Court Judge and fellow honoree] Doris Pryor told me at the awards ceremony that she admires what we’re doing at Imprint, I could have just died and gone to heaven right there,” Heiser said. “To have a judge of that caliber speak the name of our little firm means so much to me.”

Interviews of all honorees, including Heiser’s comment about law school that had the audience laughing, are available here.
