There are a few case trustees in New York who also serve as creditor attorneys; I am aware, for example, that one of the Chapter 13 trustees in the Eastern District of New York is an attorney for Ford Motor Credit in bankruptcy-related matters.
What happens when your case is assigned to one of these trustees? Simple - the case is reassigned.
My colleague, Kansas City bankruptcy attorney Rachel Foley, mentions this phenomenon in a recent post on her blog as well - which goes to show that the problem is not limited to New York cases.
