Lawyer in the canton of Lucerne

On ora., every lawyer is checked against a cantonal bar register and every legal adviser holds a Swiss law degree. You filter by area of law, language and place, from Lucerne to Sursee by way of Emmen, compare profiles and fees, and book online, at the office or by video.

The Bezirksgericht Luzern covers the city. The Bezirksgericht Hochdorf covers the Hochdorf constituency, which includes Emmen and Rothenburg. The Bezirksgericht Willisau covers the Sursee, Willisau and Entlebuch constituencies. Municipalities in Lucerne Land, such as Horw or Ebikon, belong to the Bezirksgericht Kriens or the Bezirksgericht Hochdorf depending on the municipality.

Decisions by cantonal and municipal authorities – a building permit, a tax assessment, a ruling by the migration office – can, once the cantonal steps are exhausted, be appealed to the Kantonsgericht Luzern, 4. Abteilung, which hears administrative law cases. The remedy and deadline are usually stated at the end of the decision. A lawyer checks whether an objection or an internal appeal must come first.

Each practitioner sets their own fee, shown on every profile before you book. ora.’s service fee is a separate line and is never added into the practitioner’s fee. You pay the practitioner directly. If your income is not enough to pay for proceedings, legal aid may be available.

The Luzerner Anwaltsverband is the professional association of Lucerne lawyers. Membership of the association is not the same as being entered in the cantonal bar register, which is what allows a lawyer to represent clients in court. That register entry is what ora. checks before publishing a lawyer’s profile.
