The local picture
Wohlen
Wohlen is the economic centre of the lower Freiamt, but it belongs to the Bremgarten district. For civil cases such as divorces, divisions of estates or payment claims, and for criminal cases, the competent court is therefore the Bezirksgericht Bremgarten (district court); for employment disputes, the Arbeitsgericht Bremgarten. Tenancy disputes start at the Schlichtungsbehörde für Miete und Pacht des Bezirks Bremgarten. Criminal investigations are led by the Staatsanwaltschaft des Kantons Aargau, and administrative appeals ultimately reach the Verwaltungsgericht des Kantons Aargau.
Trades and retail businesses in Wohlen often have questions about contracts, unpaid invoices or debt enforcement. A lawyer from the region knows how the district court in Bremgarten works and supports you from the first letter to the hearing. 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.

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: 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.
