About Marco Sciarra Criminal Lawyers

Marco Sciarra Criminal Lawyers is a small criminal and quasi-criminal defence firm based in downtown Toronto, with a second, smaller office in Vaughan. The firm is built around Marco Sciarra, who earned an honours degree in political science and law and society from York University in 2003, then a law degree from the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law before being called to the Bar of Ontario in 2008. The team includes two associates, Nicola Perry, who holds a mathematics degree from Concordia University and a J.D. from Osgoode Hall Law School, and Samantha Kettner, who holds a criminology degree from Western University and a J.D. from the Lincoln Alexander School of Law at Toronto Metropolitan University, and a paralegal who works on Highway Traffic Act matters and record suspensions.

The firm handles Criminal Code matters ranging from assault, robbery and weapons charges to non-violent offences such as fraud, drugs and impaired driving, plus regulatory prosecutions under statutes like the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the Highway Traffic Act and the Liquor Licence Act. Marco Sciarra's Legal Aid Ontario profile lists Criminal, Extremely Serious Matters and Gladue as areas of practice, and shows English and Italian as languages spoken. Sciarra also hosts The Law Garage, a continuing legal education podcast for the criminal bar, taking over the show after founding host Paul Cooper was appointed to the bench.
