I have a Trial Setting Conference set for 12/05/2022 in a civil matter where I am representing myself. Among other things, I may need to choose between a bench trial or a jury trial. I am seeking advice on which might be the better choice and if a call next week could help me prepare.

I made a reservation through the Hilton Honors app for a 1-night stay at Homewood Suites in Gainesville, Texas, but had to cancel due to a family emergency. I was told to call the hotel directly for a refund, but the general manager refused to refund the paid stay, even though I never made the trip. I am a Diamond member and expect higher customer satisfaction. What steps can I take to resolve this issue and potentially receive a refund?

My wife and I were joint holders of a checking account with an elderly couple. After one of them passed away, the surviving spouse's son, who is now the power of attorney, wants us to return money from a check I wrote to myself. The check was written before he became the power of attorney, and we had a history of managing the account. Does he have any right to require the return of the money?
