My attorney did not disclose he was partners with the opposing attorney. Is that a conflict of interest?

Yes. In the states I practice in it is definitely a conflict of interest and must be completely disclosed and the client given the option to find other counsel. If you are unhappy with the settlement, you should file a grievance with the state bar commission.

How would a bankruptcy trustee find out about civil suit winnings?
Local newspaper reports of the case; any of several reporters online or in paper/magazine format; a creditor who learns of it; the opposing party in the litigation; the attorney for the opposing party; you or your attorney reporting the "winnings." If the civil suit or the underlying claim did not exist at the time of filing, no problem. If it did exist and you failed to disclose the claim in Schedule B and the Statement of Financial Affairs, you are looking at perjury in addition to forfeiting the winnings. If you did disclose it, the trustee caould have taken the case away from the attorney handling the case for you, or abandoned it. If the latter, you have no problem.
