Aviod This Attorney and his Office

Attorney Kawamura supervises the Pierce County Office of Assigned Council. His office and attorneys might as well be attached to the Prosecutors office as he and his employee Attorney Joel Harte always pressure people to plead guilty. My nephew ran out of money for an attorney and attorney Joel Harte... promised that there would be two other attorneys and an investigator on the case, and that as a lie. Kawamura's office refuses to interview the person that actually committed the crime my nephew is charged with or put him on the witness list. Kawamura refuses to subpoena pay records that would prove my nephew innocent, and refuses to enter them into discovery. Kawamura's office refuses to put people on the witness list that would prove the people who filed a false police report were lying and that there residence was actually a "drug house." Kawamua and his employee attorney Harte are the bottom-of-the-barrel attorneys and should be avoided at all costs.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
