THE FIRM
About
It is often said that upon the arrest of an accused person, a defense lawyer is the accused’s very last friend. This is because a defense lawyer is the very last person whom the accused can speak with that will be on the side of the accused. Once that communication is over, the accused person is entirely in the hands of the party adverse to his/her interests. The adverse party is keen only on making their side of the case stronger. An accused may feel cooperating with the police may help his/her case. When the legally inexperienced accused is sitting across the adverse party who is far better equipped, experienced and exercises a great deal of both physical and psychological control, there are many things that could backfire. It is therefore the duty of the defense counsel to provide the accused with the very best time-sensitive advice.
At Kannan’s, we practice exclusively criminal defense. Focusing on criminal law only allows us to optimally allocate all of our resources towards the full answer and defense of our clients. This restricted practice also allows us to maintain a sharp tip and a professional edge in criminal defense.
Kannan sees the work of a criminal lawyer as a calling. This is why Kannan is entirely committed to providing the much-needed defense to his clients, particularly when his clients feel highly vulnerable, up against the powerful arms of the Crown: the police, investigative body, judicial system, and jail. Kannan will stand in front of those arms to ensure the power of the Crown cannot overpower the rights guaranteed to his clients by the Charter.
Kannan never backs down from difficult challenges or lengthy legal battles. Kannan takes each case as far as necessary, never agreeing to anything less than what his clients deserve. Kannan is always prepared to make Charter applications to ensure that his clients receive all the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Kannan is always firm but fair, applying the law as the shield and the sword- protecting the rights of his clients and getting them the complete maximum outcome that can be secured in the unique circumstance.
Kannan whole-heartedly believes that playing within the limits of law is the best way of getting to the other side faster. But if you are accused of breaking it, Kannan will defend you.
Clients should not speak with the police if arrested. Instead, clients should direct the police to call the very last friend the clients got left, Kannan S'ree Jr, the criminal defense lawyer.
