Vega Bert M Law Office

Vega Bert M Law Office is the directory entry for the Law Office of Bert M. Vega, a solo practice at 506 Sacramento Street in downtown Vallejo, in the old commercial grid a few blocks from the waterfront. Bert M Vega appears on the State Bar of California register under number 173141 with this Sacramento Street address on file. The Bar record confirms where the office is; it says nothing about what the practice handles, so the description below keeps the two apart.

The practice, as far as the records show

Legal directories and lawyer-listing sites describe the office as a bankruptcy and immigration practice, with consumer and business bankruptcy filings under Chapters 7, 11 and 13 on one side and family-based immigration matters on the other. Those listings also say the office takes clients from Solano, Napa and Contra Costa counties. None of that has been confirmed by the attorney, and the Bar's own page left its status field blank on the day it was checked, so treat the practice areas as a starting point for your first phone call rather than a settled fact.

A small office like this usually means the attorney you speak to at the first meeting is the one who files your papers. That is worth confirming, along with whether the office still handles both areas of law or has narrowed its work.

Before you call a lawyer

Ask for the Bar number and look it up yourself on calbar.ca.gov; the register shows discipline history and current standing. Ask whether the first consultation is free or charged, and get the fee arrangement in writing before any work begins. For a bankruptcy matter, bring six months of pay stubs, recent tax returns, a list of debts with account numbers, and any collection letters or court papers. For an immigration matter, bring passports, prior filings and receipt notices, and any notice from USCIS or the immigration court, because deadlines in those notices drive everything else.

Downtown Vallejo and the rest of Solano County

Sacramento Street runs through the older part of downtown Vallejo, close to the Mare Island Strait waterfront and the ferry terminal. Clients come from Vallejo itself and from Benicia, American Canyon, Fairfield, Suisun City and Vacaville, with Napa and Crockett a short drive across the county lines.

The number on file for the office is 707-558-9379; some listings show a similar number ending in 9375, so if the first does not connect, try the second or ask the chamber to relay a message.
