Where Should Bay Area Residents File Bankruptcy?

When you decide to file bankruptcy, there are a few rules to know about where you can file your case.  Generally, you file bankruptcy in the county where you live.  There are four bankruptcy courts in the Bay Area: Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose, and Santa Rosa.  For Alameda and Contra Costa Counties, the bankruptcy court is in downtown Oakland.  The San Francisco court covers the counties of San Francisco and San Mateo.  Chapter 7 cases in Marin County are required to be filed in the Santa Rosa Bankruptcy Court.
