I have an opportunity to get into major retail stores with my product. Since Sub-Zero Candy Company is too close to Sub-Zero Freeze Dried Candy, would I be able to use the words Sub-Zero in my business name? Would Sub-Zero Freeze Dried Snacks work, or is that too close? What about Sub-Zero Snacks and leaving out freeze dried altogether? How likely is it that the other person could file a claim saying I'm infringing on their trademark, and how likely are they to win since we would fall under the same class? What would you recommend in terms of filing and appealing if necessary?

My roommate threatened to kill me because I cook beef in the house, which is against their religious beliefs. I am very scared and don't know what to do. The police said this is a small claim court matter, but I have nowhere else to go. What should I do?

I loaned a friend $1200 in July 2022, and he is refusing to pay me back. He has cut off contact, and I have his date of birth, phone number, and last known address. The loan was made via check with a memo specifying it as a loan. What steps should I take to recover the money, considering I am in North Carolina and do not have his current address?
