Who
I Am

I am a lawyer operating in Calgary, representing clients on criminal, quasi-criminal, and regulatory charges at both the trial and appeal level.

​My criminal defence practice operates under the philosophy that all individuals are presumed innocent and have the right to a dedicated defence and a fair trial.

I also assist individuals and institutional clients in the areas of civil litigation, insurance claims, and environmental/health regulation violations.

Hiring the right lawyer can be one of the most important decisions you make in your life.

This is why Yoav Niv provides a free 45 minute initial consultation to all of his potential clients.

Calgary Restraining Orders

Restraining Orders

Restraining orders are court orders that restrict a person’s actions and are typically enforced by police. Whether you are seeking protection or responding to an order, experienced legal guidance is essential to protect your rights and avoid serious consequences.

Calgary Organized Crime

Criminal Charges

Facing criminal charges in Calgary can be overwhelming and disruptive to every aspect of your life. Strategic legal representation is critical to protect your rights, reputation, and future from the earliest stages of the process.

Calgary Violent Offences

Regulatory Defence

Regulatory proceedings in Calgary and Southern Alberta can carry serious professional and financial consequences. We represent individuals and businesses facing investigations, charges, and enforcement actions that threaten licences, operations, and livelihoods.

Calgary Domestic Violence

Assault and Battery Defence

Civil claims for assault or battery can expose you to significant financial liability and long-term consequences. Effective defence requires a careful legal strategy to protect your interests and respond to complex allegations.

Calgary Bail

Judicial Review

When a government body, tribunal, or regulator makes a decision affecting your rights, licence, or livelihood, judicial review may allow the Court to intervene. We help clients challenge unlawful or unreasonable decisions through focused, strategic advocacy.

Calgary Fraud

Commercial Lease Enforcement

Commercial lease disputes require timely and decisive legal action. We advise landlords and tenants in Calgary on enforcement, termination, eviction, and related remedies to protect their commercial interests.

Calgary Financial Crimes

Civil Forfeiture Defence

Civil forfeiture allows the government to seize property without a criminal conviction. If your assets have been seized in Calgary, experienced legal representation is essential to challenge the forfeiture and protect your property rights.

Calgary DUI

Appeals

An appeal may provide a path to correct legal or factual errors made by a court or tribunal. Because appellate litigation is highly technical and deadline-driven, disciplined legal advocacy is critical to success.

Experienced defence lawyer protects your liberties in Alberta

A restraining order, also known as a protection order in Canada, is a court order for one person to be protected from another. Restraining orders are enforced by police and can restrict certain aspects of your life.
