About Micah Chartrand
Micah graduated with Distinction from the University of Saskatchewan College of Law in 2011. He has been practicing exclusively in the area of family law for over a decade. Earlier in Micah’s legal career, his family law practice focused on high-conflict cases involving child custody, family violence, and urgent financial matters. He joined the partnership at Soby Boyden Lenz LLP in 2021 and has had an active mediation practice since 2022.
Micah’s experience with high conflict family law cases has equipped him with the ability steer matters toward more cost-effective and emotionally sustainable resolutions through negotiation. While Micah values his experience in the courtroom, he prides himself on achieving out of court solutions for clients. A successful resolution, in Micah’s view, is one where people part ways in a manner which preserves their dignity and secures a meaningful co-parenting relationship for the benefit of their children. Micah continues to maintain a family litigation practice when it appears that collaboration and creativity are not viable options.
When Micah is not in the office he enjoys spending time with his family. He is a lowly blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and is regularly beaten up by better athletes. Micah is also the organizer of the McCann Cup, a yearly rugby match between the Calgary Bar and the University of Calgary Faculty of Law.

Jurisdictional Context
Why Local Counsel Matters in Calgary
Practicing law in Alberta. Legal matters in Alberta are governed by state-specific rules of civil and criminal procedure, statutes of limitations, and substantive law. Cases originating in Calgary are typically filed in the local municipal court or the appropriate Alberta state district court, depending on subject matter and amount in controversy. An attorney licensed in Alberta brings working knowledge of local procedural deadlines, judicial practices in this venue, and the substantive law that applies to cases brought here. Out-of-state attorneys generally cannot represent clients in Alberta courts without local counsel or pro hac vice admission.
Calgary Courts and Legal Process
Choosing a Calgary-based attorney means your counsel already knows the local docketing timelines, preferred filing formats, and how individual judges typically rule on procedural motions — details that only come from practicing in this jurisdiction day after day. That local familiarity can translate to better strategy, faster filings, and fewer costly surprises.
