The local picture
Fürstenau
Fürstenau, in the Domleschg valley, is often described as one of the smallest towns in Switzerland and belongs to the Viamala region. The court of first instance is therefore the regional court (Regionalgericht Viamala): civil and family cases, employment disputes and criminal cases. A tenancy dispute starts before the conciliation authority (Schlichtungsbehörde für Mietsachen), criminal investigations are led by the public prosecutor’s office (Staatsanwaltschaft Graubünden), and cantonal administrative appeals go to the Obergericht des Kantons Graubünden.
In a place this small, it is normal for the right practitioner to work not in the town itself but elsewhere in the Viamala region, in Chur or further afield. With ora. that need not be an obstacle: many practitioners advise by video, and documents are shared securely through the platform. Every lawyer is checked against a cantonal bar register, and you see the fee before you book.

Tenancy
Tenancy: the conciliation authority
A dispute over rent, a defect, the deposit or a notice to quit normally starts in Graubünden before the tenancy conciliation authority (Schlichtungsbehörde für Mietsachen). It tries to bring the parties to an agreement. If that fails, the case can go to the regional court of the region where the flat is. Time limits for challenging a notice or a rent are short, so a tenancy lawyer helps with the application.

Work
Employment: the regional court
Graubünden has no separate employment tribunal: dismissal, unpaid wages, overtime or a work certificate are heard by the regional court (Regionalgericht), as a rule the one where the defendant lives or where the work is usually done. Each region has its own, from the Regionalgericht Plessur to the Regionalgericht Maloja. With seasonal jobs in particular, it pays to have the contract and deadlines checked early.

Family
Family: the regional court as well
Protective measures, separation, divorce, custody and maintenance are decided at first instance by the regional court of your region. Often an agreement can be reached that the court then only has to approve. In a canton of long distances, many practitioners offer a first meeting by video; each profile on ora. shows the formats and languages on offer.

Criminal
Criminal law: the public prosecutor
A complaint, a summons to an interview or a penalty order: the investigation is led by the public prosecutor’s office (Staatsanwaltschaft Graubünden). If it brings charges, the regional court decides at first instance. The time limit for objecting to a penalty order is very short; after that the order becomes final. Seek advice without delay: a criminal lawyer can be at your side from the first interview.

Legal aid: an application to the court
If you cannot afford proceedings and your case is not without prospects, you can apply for legal aid. The application goes to the competent court, which at first instance is usually the regional court. Legal aid can exempt you from advances and court costs and allow a lawyer to be appointed for you. A practitioner can tell you whether your situation qualifies.
