They're hardly everyday cases, more of an occasional thing, but I did a few, and then they ended up referring some, so I've become somewhat familiar with it....
Last time I went was particularly enjoyable - it was a somewhat complex 7, and while I was waiting with my clients, the Trustee was correcting all the local San Diego attys, every case seemed to need this or that amended...so when my case was called, it went perfectly, and he tells my clients "your counsel does nice work." Hey, we know our stuff up here in the Central District!
Given the time and distance, I will obviously charge the client more, but its San Diego, so its not exactly horrible, and I'll usually try to make a little day-and-a-half or two-day mini-getaway out of it, to make it worth my while.

I haven't done a 13 in San Diego, but I've done quite a few 7s there... they have a long checklist of what you need to provide to the Trustee before the hearing, and it is long. As much as I hated it at first, I don't mind it anymore - forces you to be complete, and once done, you have everything right in front of you. I can forward that to you, but there might be more stuff for 13s.
I just got out their Supporting Documentation Cover Sheet for Chap 7s, and it points to:

I do not know the local local rules in the Southern District of California.
Is there a ready guide as to what is required prior to the 341(a) meeting
and for confirmation? In the Central District, Local Rule 3015-1 tells you
what you need to provide to the Chapter 13 trustee, but the Southern
District equivalent is not quite as detailed. So, would anybody be willing
to share what documents are required or the rule or order providing
guidance? For example, must we submit ahead of the 341(a) a child support
declaration, the tax declaration, etc?
