Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

I have an embroidery business that was foreclosed on during Chapter 11 bankruptcy, so somebody has locked the doors on the business, and I am not sure what to do about the clothes. The customers send their clothes in, and we add embroidery designs on the clothes and ship them back.

Since the clothes belong to the customers, what am I supposed to do to get them back so I can send them back to the customers since I can't get inside the business anymore?

Something doesn't make sense about what you're saying. In a Chapter 11, you, the Debtor, are in control of the company. No one can foreclose on it w/o further relief.

Also, in the Central District, which is where you are located, you can't file for Chapter 11 as a company w/o a lawyer. So what's your lawyer telling you to do?
