A Petition for Bankruptcy is filed in a United States court. There is NOT one in every state county. Depending on the size of the state these courts can # from 1-4? Your attorney will file the Petition in the court of jurisdiction, whether it is your county or 5 counties away.
If I remember correctly there are 90+ US district courts in the country.
I don't have my World Almanac by my side, but by the map online, CA has 4 District courts, therefore 4 BK courts, Nothern, Southern, Eastern, Central.
You need to locate the court nearest you, it could be MILES away!
