A second-generation legal practitioner with a strong professional legacy spanning over three decades, I am a highly experienced Criminal Lawyer with extensive expertise in handling a wide range of criminal matters across Sri Lanka.
My court practice covers regular appearances before the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka, Court of Appeal, High Courts, Magistrates’ Courts, and Special Tribunals throughout the island. I am well-versed in providing strategic legal advisory services, meticulous drafting, and strong courtroom advocacy.
My specialized expertise encompasses all major areas of Criminal Law, including:
- Offences under the Penal Code, Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA), Firearms Ordinance, and Computer Crimes Act.
- Matters involving fraud, misappropriation, breach of trust, financial crimes, and white-collar offences.
- Bail applications, anticipatory bail, fundamental rights applications, and appeals/revisions arising from criminal proceedings.
I possess significant proficiency in drafting:
- Statements of Defence, Bail Applications, FR Petitions, Revisions, Appeals, and Writ Applications involving criminal matters.
- Representations to the Attorney General’s Department, Police, and regulatory bodies.
In addition to trial advocacy, I bring extensive experience in criminal compliance, regulatory advisory, and risk assessment for individuals and corporate clients.
My expertise in preparing and reviewing criminal-related documentation—such as settlement agreements, indemnity documents, affidavits, police representations, and legal opinions—is precise, structured, and strategically oriented.
Confident in my deep knowledge and years of practical experience, I provide steadfast legal representation, strategic counsel, and comprehensive support to clients facing serious criminal allegations across all sectors in Sri Lanka.
