Questions Before Filing for Bankruptcy

The Chapter 7 trustee in our case was also an attorney from one of the prominent law firms in our area. This is pretty common. Might be something to consider, since the trustee will be asking you questions and looking for assets.

I hadn't considered that possibility. I would assume that, in that case, the trustee would recuse himself and allow an alternate trustee to take over.

I'd also think that even if the trustee somehow remembered some shady stuff you had told him in a free consultation, the attorney-client privilege would preclude him from relaying concerns to the oncoming trustee.

I don't think Pizza is saying that the trustee was his/her attorney. I think you are right that if Pizza had consulted with the attorney, another trusyee would be appointed.
