Bankruptcy
As a creditor in a bankruptcy filing must I have an attorney to represent me or can I meet directly with the Trustee?

Re: Bankruptcy
A creditor can usually contact the trustee for general questions. Whether the trustee has any interest in meeting is a different issue. A trustee is not a substitute for a lawyer and generally will not spend time guiding a creditor through the case because the creditor does not have a lawyer.
Re: Bankruptcy
I read the last version of your question. Creditors do NOT meet with Trustees, and you do NOT plead a case to a trustee. If you have a dispute you file a motion or adversary proceeding with the court and it is heard by a judge. Your question tells me that, assuming you have a lot at stake, you made a huge mistake in getting rid of your lawyer. At the very least you need to be coached by a lawyer.
