It is Advisable to Maintain an Amicable Relationship with a Court Appointed Trustee

If you’re right, then the judge can rule in your favor. The trustees are not always right but, you know, you want to keep your trustee happy especially if you appear in front of them often. In the Los Angeles area, there are two Chapter 13 trustees, one of them is Kathy Dockery, the other one is Nancy Kui and we deal with them all the time, you know. We are aware of their office procedures and how they want things done. Some counties only have one Chapter 13 trustee, LA is one of the bigger counties, so it’s got two. But they are basically the overseer of the bankruptcy. They are the person that the individual debtor will have the most contact with in the process besides their attorney.
