The local picture
Oftringen
Oftringen lies in the Wigger valley between Zofingen and Aarburg, a place to live and do business on the axis between Bern, Basel and Zurich. The municipality has no court of its own and is part of the Zofingen district: civil and criminal cases go to the Bezirksgericht Zofingen (district court), employment disputes to the Arbeitsgericht Zofingen. Tenancy disputes start at the Schlichtungsbehörde für Miete und Pacht des Bezirks Zofingen, and criminal investigations are led by the Staatsanwaltschaft des Kantons Aargau.
Businesses in Oftringen often have questions about employment contracts, supply contracts or unpaid invoices; individuals about tenancy, family or inheritance. On ora. you will find practitioners for both, in person or by video. Proceedings before the canton’s courts are conducted in German; each profile shows which other languages a practitioner advises in, such as English or French. Every listing on ora. is verified.

Tenancy
Tenancy: the district conciliation board
In Aargau, each district has its own conciliation board for tenancy and leases. A dispute over rent, defects or a notice to quit starts before the board of the district where the flat or premises are located – in Baden, for example, the Schlichtungsbehörde für Miete und Pacht des Bezirks Baden. It looks for an agreement; if none is reached, it issues an authorisation to go to court. A lawyer helps with the application and the deadlines, which are often short.

Work
Employment: the employment court at the district court
Each Aargau district court has its own employment court, which decides disputes between employers and employees: contested dismissals, unpaid wages, overtime, references. The competent court is generally the one where the defendant is based or where the work is done. Because many Aargau residents work in Zurich or Basel, a lawyer first checks jurisdiction and the deadlines.

Family
Family: the district court where you live
Separation, divorce, custody and maintenance go first to the district court. Each district has its own: Aarau, Baden, Bremgarten, Brugg, Kulm, Laufenburg, Lenzburg, Muri, Rheinfelden, Zofingen and Zurzach. Jurisdiction generally follows the residence of one of the parties. A family lawyer reviews your options and the prospects of an agreement with you before any proceedings begin.

Criminal
Criminal law: prosecutor and district court
Criminal investigations are led by the Staatsanwaltschaft des Kantons Aargau (public prosecutor), which often closes simple cases with a penalty order. If charges are brought, the district court where the offence was committed tries the case. The deadline for objecting to a penalty order is short, so get advice without delay, whether you are accused or reporting an offence as a victim.
