U.S. Trustees

U.S. Trustees are federal officials responsible for overseeing bankruptcy cases and the bankruptcy process in the United States. They ensure that individuals and businesses follow bankruptcy laws fairly and properly, examine and verify financial information, and supervise the administration of bankruptcy estates. Their role is to protect the integrity of the bankruptcy system, prevent fraud, and ensure creditors are treated equitably. The U.S. Trustees work within the Department of Justice and coordinate with bankruptcy courts, providing oversight to maintain transparency and efficiency in bankruptcy proceedings.
