About Kannan Criminal Defence Law Firm PC

K'annan Criminal Defence Law Firm PC is a solo criminal defence practice in Toronto, also branded as It Wasn't Me Law Firm. Founded by Kannan S'ree Jr, the firm works exclusively in criminal defence. Its stated focus areas are gun crimes, sex crimes and violent crimes, and its practice list includes aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, sexual assault, possession of a firearm or other weapon, possession for the purpose of trafficking, kidnapping, fraud and impaired driving. For more serious and complicated matters, such as aggravated sexual assault with multiple co-accused or manslaughter, the firm says it works in collaboration with other experienced lawyers for the benefit of a full answer and defence.

S'ree Jr grew up in Scarborough, where watching courtroom advocacy as a teenager sparked an early interest that led toward law. A bachelor's degree in political science and global studies from Wilfrid Laurier University came first, followed by a law degree from City, University of London, home to the Inns of Court School of Law. The office is on St. Clair Avenue West in Toronto, and Legal Aid Ontario's own directory lists the practice as taking cases in English and Tamil, alongside the private retainers described on the firm's site.

Practice areas

The neighbourhood

The firm's office sits on St. Clair Avenue West, a corridor that runs through Toronto west end neighbourhoods including Earlscourt, Corso Italia and Wychwood, mixing houses with storefronts along the way. More than half of rush hour commuters on that stretch travel by the 512 St. Clair streetcar, which gives clients without a car a way to reach the office.
