He has worked as public defender in the province of Saskatchewan, and is currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia.Ransiri was called to the Bar in Sri Lanka in 1989. There he joined the Attorney General's Department in 1990 as a State Counsel and resigned from his office in December 2000. From 1996 until he left public service he appeared in several sensitive and complex prosecutions, where he earned his reputation as a fair-minded but hard-line prosecutor. He firmly believed that he would not flog dead horses merely because a senior officer wanted it, or some politician was interested. He was well known for conducting prosecutions based purely on merit and refusing to succumb to pressure. As a result, Ransiri was instantly successful when he started his private practice as a defence attorney in January 2001, and he enjoyed a successful practice until he decided to throw in the towel and immigrate to Canada with his family.Ransiri is also an excellent musician. Gifted with the talent to sing, he also plays piano, piano accordion, and a few other musical instruments proficiently. In fact, as a high school and law school student, he played for a number of musical groups in Sri Lanka. His favourite experiences were his solo piano recitals at some of Colombo's leading tourist hotels while he was in high school.Away from all the controversies in Sri Lanka, he has settled down with his family in Canada and practiced law in British Columbia since 2014.ver menos
