There is law regarding conversions.  The general rule is 8 years for bk7s and a 4 year wait for a BK13.  The question as when the cases were filed, but you may be eligible to convert.  However, there is a difference between being able to convert and beneficial to convert.  An attorney, such as the one you retained, is best able to address this issue. Should you feel that you are not receiving good representation, it may be possible to change attorneys and seek our a different lawyer.  The starting place would be your Retainer.  You may also call the Trustee handling your case as some light may be shed on both the case and any change of attorneys.
