The answer depends in part on why the trustee has not concluded his/her portion of the case. Are there assets the Trustee is pursuing? If not, there's probably no reason that the case should still be open. If there are non-exempt assets that the trustee is thinking about pursuing, but hasn't yet, you can file a Motion to Compel Abandonment of those assets by proving they are of de minimis value to the bankruptcy estate.
Other than that, you can also contact the Office of the U.S. Trustee and advise them of the status of the case and see if they can put some pressure on the Trustee.
If your attorney is not giving you satisfactory responses, you can always hire a new attorney.
