In 2009, a freshly graduated Jason Flora opened a law firm on the west side of Indianapolis near Hispanic-run car lots, Honduran restaurants and Guatemalan grocery stores. In its early days, Flora, who speaks Spanish fluently, working 60 hours or more a week, driving back and forth between Chicago’s immigration court and his office. But now, Flora Legal Group is home to 20 attorneys and about 120 staff members — 200% more staff than it had six years prior. And its revenue grew nearly 250% during a two-year period between 2023 and 2025 to $12.2 million. The firm’s rapid growth has earned it a third-place spot on IBJ’s Fast 25 list, which recognizes central Indiana’s fastest-growing companies — and a profile below by reporter Cameron Shaw. Also this week, Hancock County last month became the first county in the state to publish a dashboard reflecting data on how the Prosecutor's Office handles criminal felony and misdemeanor cases. Reporter Maura Johnson explores what the tool provides to taxpayers and how it was developed.
