About Laura Walker
Laura Walker Swafford is an Indiana-educated attorney who began her legal studies at Indiana University Bloomington and stayed in Bloomington to earn her J.D. She arrived in law school after completing an undergraduate degree at the same campus, where she finished a Bachelor of Science in 2012. She completed her law degree in 2015 and entered the legal profession soon after.
Her time at Indiana University provided a steady academic foundation. The undergraduate years and the three years in law school gave her exposure to both classroom theory and practical legal skills through clinics and coursework. Peers and professors from that period recall a student focused on clear legal analysis and careful writing.
Swafford joined Wagner Reese, LLP in 2017. She took on responsibilities typical for a firm lawyer: drafting pleadings, advising clients, and participating in case strategy. Over the subsequent years she worked alongside colleagues across the firm’s offices. Her work record at Wagner Reese reflects steady involvement in firm matters rather than a single high-profile assignment.
She is licensed to practice in Indiana. That state license guides the geographical range of her client work. Wagner Reese maintains multiple offices, and Swafford has been associated with several of them. Those locations include the firm’s Main office as well as Indianapolis, Evansville, Fort Wayne, West Lafayette and Champaign. The spread of offices gives her access to a broad regional client base and a variety of local practice environments.
Beyond the firm, she maintains professional ties that keep her connected to the local bar and legal community. Colleagues describe her as methodical and attentive to case details. She has continued to work at Wagner Reese while adapting to evolving firm needs and client demands.
Her background — an Indiana undergraduate degree followed by a J.D. from Indiana University Bloomington and years at Wagner Reese since 2017 — positions her as a practitioner rooted in the state’s legal community. She currently practices law across Wagner Reese’s Indiana offices.
