We’re Doing Things Differently
Calgary Lawyers
Welcome to Stokes Law
At Stokes Law, we believe that strong legal support should be accessible, strategic, and client-focused. Our firm was built on the foundation of collaboration, expertise, and a commitment to delivering practical solutions for individuals, families, and businesses.

The Power of a Team, for the Cost of a Lawyer
Legal matters can be complex, and one person alone can’t always see the full picture. That’s why we take a team-based approach, ensuring that our collective knowledge, experience, and insight are leveraged to find innovative solutions for your legal needs. With Stokes Law, you don’t have to choose between affordability and comprehensive representation, you get both.

Our Areas of Practice
We specialize in three key areas of law, offering tailored support and strategic guidance in each:
Corporate Law
From startups to established businesses, we help entrepreneurs and organizations navigate the legal complexities of business formation, contracts, mergers, acquisitions, and compliance. Our team provides forward-thinking legal strategies to protect and grow your business while mitigating risks.
Mediation
Litigation isn’t always the best path forward. Our experienced mediators help individuals and businesses resolve disputes efficiently and amicably. Through mediation, we facilitate open dialogue, reduce conflict, and find solutions that work for all parties, without the stress, cost, and unpredictability of court battles.
Family Law
We understand that family legal matters are deeply personal. Whether you’re dealing with divorce, child custody, spousal support, or cohabitation agreements, we provide compassionate yet results-driven legal counsel. Our goal is to guide you through these difficult transitions with clarity and confidence.
Why Choose Stokes Law?
At Stokes Law, we redefine what it means to have legal representation. Our team is ready to stand by your side, provide clear guidance, and help you achieve your goals.

A team of legal minds working together to support you.
Client-Centered Solutions
Tailored strategies that prioritize your needs.

Chace Stokowski was fantastic to have on my side
Chace Stokowski was fantastic to have on my side. He assisted me with a civil/commercial dispute. He was diligent in responding. He was insightful and efficient in his legal research of the issues. The resulting judgement was better than the settlement offer. I have referred him to several others who were equally pleased.

Before I met Chace I felt like I had a lot of exposure in my business
Before I met Chace I felt like I had a lot of exposure in my business. It can be really difficult to find someone you like and trust in the legal world but as soon as I met Chace he instantly put me at ease. He took a look under the hood of my business and now I feel more secure than ever. As the business grows I intend to have Chace alongside for the ride and I would confidently recommend him to anyone.

I have worked with various lawyers and genuinely valued Jana at Stokes Law.
I have worked with various lawyers and genuinely valued Jana at Stokes Law. Originally paired with a different firm and different lawyer, Jana took over my case seamlessly and effectively understanding where in the process we were heading. We immediately clicked because she is very personable respecting the sensitivities that accompanied my family separation. Her understanding of the multifaceted nature of a divorce was important to me never having experienced it myself.

My case was handled in every way with care
I was fortunate to find Cody, Shayla and the team at Stokes Law to support my separation and divorce, following a very challenging experience with previous counsel. I truly felt my case was handled in every way with care, diligence and compassion, from preparation and review, to mediation, reaching agreement, developing a solid parenting plan and in finalizing next steps to closure. I believe it is rare to find this kind of legal support and would wholeheartedly recommend Cody and Shayla as advocates and allies in what is a very tumuluous and unnerving experience. With this team, you can "trust the process" and have confidence that your best interests will be served.
