Meet Carmel Vieira

Carmel is the latest talent to join the Law Offices of Torres & Haroldson. She, too, is a paralegal and joins Angie in our “Power” room greeting everyone who comes in through the doors or calls on the phone. More importantly, she signed on to take over the role of wrangling Peter and Autumn.

Personal Background

Carmel’s first legal experience was working for an insurance litigation firm in 2009. Since then, she has taken time to grow her family, raise her children, and further her education. In June 2022, she graduated with an Associates in Applied Arts as Legal Administrative Assistant. She comes to us most recently having worked for an estate planning firm. When Carmel is not working, she lives in Enumclaw with her three children. She enjoys painting, spending time outdoors with her children, and reading.
