About Armoured Suits Criminal Defence Lawyers

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Armoured Suits Criminal Defence Lawyers is a criminal law only firm based in Ottawa, with a second office in Kingston. It handles criminal and provincial offence matters exclusively, from impaired driving, assault, and drug offences to fraud, domestic offences, firearms charges, and youth criminal law. The firm was co-founded by Joshua A. Clarke shortly after being called to the Law Society of Ontario bar in 2009. Before law school, Clarke served as an artillery officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, retiring in 2003.

The firm is structured with more than one lawyer rather than as a sole practice. Kathleen M. Kealey started as a law student working with Clarke and stayed on after being called to the Ontario bar in 2017; Kealey holds a law degree from the National University of Ireland Galway. Anish Sethi trained and was called to the bar in Delhi, India, before earning a certificate of equivalency through Canada's National Committee on Accreditation in 2021, and speaks English, Hindi, and Punjabi. Armoured Suits accepts Legal Aid Ontario certificates for matters in Ottawa and several nearby communities, and offers a free 30 minute phone consultation along with payment plans for clients who don't qualify for legal aid.
