You should notify the bankruptcy trustee in writing that your attorney has disappeared and inform the trustee that you will need additional time to find another attorney.
You should also contact the State Bar of Connecticut and file a complaint against your attorney for client abandonment. The attorney will be subject to discipline by the State Bar.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
