An appointment near Executive Square

UTC is part of the University community. The firm’s published La Jolla office is near UTC on Executive Square, so use the exact street address when planning the signing appointment.

The firm's La Jolla office is at 4275 Executive Square, Suite 200, with a second office in El Cajon. University City residents can use either location for the signing meeting and can start the consultation by phone or video. Confirm the appointment format and office before travelling. Documents can be uploaded electronically while Jeff prepares the case.

Convenient access to an office is useful, but the financial review still needs to be individual. A regular paycheck does not by itself tell you whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 is appropriate.

Eligibility is more than an income label

If you are unsure whether your income is too high for Chapter 7, ask Jeff to review the eligibility question rather than ruling yourself out. The means test and household expenses are part of that discussion. The firm's eligibility guide explains the basic idea; the consultation applies it to your records.

Chapter 13 can be an option for people with regular income who need a repayment approach. Its plan generally lasts three to five years, and the practical question is whether the proposed payments fit the situation. Jeff can explain the differences between a Chapter 7 case and a Chapter 13 plan, including the role of property and overdue secured payments.

Keep different debts visible

A credit card account, a tax balance and a student loan should not be treated as interchangeable items on a list. Identify each type when you describe the problem. The firm's existing resources explain that not every obligation is discharged. Ask specifically about debts that worry you instead of assuming an overall bankruptcy result will apply to each one.

If your concern includes a home or vehicle, note both the balance and whether payments are current. If your main question is affordability, ask about attorney fees and payment plans during the consultation. You can leave the conversation with a clearer understanding of the choices even if you began without knowing which chapter to ask about.

Talk with Jeff about your options

Call 619-933-6057 for a free consultation, or request contact and describe the kind of help you are looking for. Jeff answers his own phone and explains the options in plain English. Attorney fees depend on the chapter and the situation; discuss the cost and available payment arrangements before committing.

For a University City consultation, you can choose phone, video or an office appointment. The firm's usual preparation involves electronic documents and one in-person review and signing meeting. Ask what the process would involve for your case, including anything that needs attention before filing.

Client reviews

What clients are saying

Marc S.Google review

They were professional, responsive, and truly worked with me every step of the way, making the entire process efficient, effective, and effortless. What could have been overwhelming was handled with care and precision.

Jill J.Google review

When I called, he is the one that answered, and was very fatherly and supportive of our situation and the fears we had about our future. He helped me feel less ashamed and explained how everything would work... Overall, if your finances are keeping you up at night, and you want as little meetings as possible and things to be handled more remotely, and don't want a large lawyer company, he is your guy. Life is much better for us now.

Consuelo S.Google review

Filing for bankruptcy can be stressful and overwhelming, but they made everything much easier to understand... I truly appreciated how respectful and non-judgmental they were during a difficult time in my life.

Pete R.Google review

They explained every step clearly, kept me updated, and made sure I felt supported throughout the process.

Sharon H.Client testimonial

He spent over an hour on the phone with us. There was no pressure, just kindness. He was patient and reassuring. He was organized. The day of the hearing, we sat in the lobby awaiting our hearing and four other lawyers walked in (representing multiple clients each) looking frazzled and crazed. Jeffrey Schreiber was representing us, and only us. He was ready, on-time, presentable and calm which in turn, calmed us.

Phil G.Client testimonial

He gave me excellent advice and fully prepared me for everything that was going to happen. He made me feel very comfortable with my situation. Mr. Schreiber is extremely knowledgeable in handling cases like mine. Everything that he said he was going to do he did. His level of professionalism and vast knowledge has been impeccable, imperative and more than appreciated.

Cynthia L.Client testimonial

I am in awe of his talents, vast knowledge and expertise. I was surprised by his compassion, impressed with his expertise - pleased that he was giving me possible alternatives to filing, all conveyed in a very relaxed, no pressure, phone conversation. I did seek some second opinions and very quickly realized how inept these other attorneys were. Mr. Schreiber proved to be head and shoulders above all the rest.
