Civil Litigation

You didn’t start this fight.
But you don’t have to face it alone.

A steady, strategic advocate who protects what’s yours, without dragging you into a battle that costs more than it’s worth.

Lumis Law provides Civil Litigation services in Calgary, Alberta, including contract disputes, commercial litigation, property disputes, debt recovery, and settlement and mediation in Alberta courts.

The Problem

The invoice was due ninety days ago. The emails stopped getting answered three weeks ago. And now you’re lying awake doing math on money that’s rightfully yours, wondering whether fighting for it is worth the stress. That low-grade dread, that’s the real cost of a dispute, long before any courtroom.

Lumis Law’s solution

Lumis Law takes that weight off you. You’ll get an honest read on where you stand, a plan aimed at the outcome that makes sense for you, and someone who knows when a sharp settlement beats a long war. We’re ready to fight hard, and just as ready to end it fast. Either way, you’ll never be the last to know what’s happening in your own case.

Protecting what’s yours when the stakes are real.

Broken Contracts, Hold them to the deal they made.

When the other side doesn’t deliver, the fallout hits your business and your peace of mind. Your claim is pursued — or defended — strategically, to enforce your rights and recover what you’re owed.

Business Disputes, Defend your company and your bottom line.

Conflicts between businesses, partners, suppliers, or customers need someone who reads both the law and the commercial stakes. Sharp representation, with your operations always front of mind.

Property Disputes, Stand your ground.

Boundary fights, easements, co-ownership conflicts, a sale gone wrong — these get legal and personal fast. Your property rights are protected, with a resolution grounded firmly in Alberta law.

Debt Recovery, Get paid what you’re owed.

Unpaid invoices drain your cash and your patience. The debt is pursued — demand letter first, court and enforcement if it comes to that — with an approach sized to what’s actually at stake.

Settlement & Mediation, Win without the courtroom when you can.

Most disputes don’t belong in front of a judge. A settlement done right is pursued wherever it serves you — with full firepower ready if it doesn’t.

Honest Risk Assessment, Know before you spend a dollar fighting.

Sometimes the most valuable thing is a clear read before you commit. An honest take on your position, your likely costs, and your realistic outcomes — so the next move is yours, with eyes open.

What people ask when they’re in the thick of it.

Get a Straight Read on Your Case
Do I have to go to court, or can this settle?
Most disputes settle — and usually should. We push for a resolution at the table first, with the claim fully prepared so the other side knows you’re serious. If court is what it takes, you’ll walk in ready.
Before you spend a dollar, you’ll get an honest read on your case, the likely costs at each stage, and whether the fight is worth it. You agree to the price of each step before we take it — no meter running in the background.
Not automatically — but you are outmatched on process, and process is where unrepresented people lose winnable cases. At minimum, get a one-time assessment of your position before you respond to anything.
Usually: a formal demand letter first — it resolves more files than you’d think — then a claim in Provincial Court or the Court of King’s Bench if it doesn’t. We size the approach to the amount, so you don’t spend $5,000 chasing $4,000.
