The Office of the United States Trustee is supposed to guard against preceived bankruptcy abuse.  In reality, there was no factual basis for the passage of bankruptcy "reform" in 2005. 

The Office of the US Trustee is a large office of taxpayer funded federal bureaucrats charged with administering every bankruptcy case filed.  This government agency justifies its existence, in part, by demonstrating how many bankrupt families it can prosecute for a violation of the bankruptcy laws -- with the end goal of getting your case dismissed.

Statistically, the chances of your case being the target of a audit and a dismissal motion are quite small.  Nevertheless, it does happen.  And unfortunately, it can sometimes happen without good cause and without a sound legal basis.

Results count.  The Office of the United States Trustee has never brought a successful objection to discharge or motion to dismiss against a client of William A. Morris, P.C.  In a recent 2008 case, the Trustee moved to revoke the discharge of a single, impoverished, divorced woman.  The Trustee's actions were based on nonsense from her abusive ex-husband, but the staff attorney for the U.S. Trustee's Office refused to back off.  Following trial, the bankruptcy court entered judgment on behalf of the client and the firm prevailed.  This client preserved her right to walk away from tens of thousands of dollars of debt. 

The actual Office of the U.S. Trustee is not to be confused with the panel trustee you will see at your bankruptcy hearing.  The panel trustee is actually an employee of the Office of the U.S. Trustee.  For the most part, the panel trustee is looking for non-exempt property in your case that the trustee can sell for the benefit of your creditors.  However, most property is exempt and cannot be taken from you.  Protecting your property is a primary function of your bankruptcy attorney.
