If the trustee in a NC chapter 7 bankruptcy sells my home will I receive payment?

My spouse and I owe $53,000 in unsecured debt and we are going to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. We don’t want to file chapter 13 we can’t afford the repayment plan. I’m the owner of our house and I still owe $18,000 to my mortgage company the listed value is $80,000 that puts the equity over the NC homestead exemption of $35,000 if the trustee sells our home how will the money be distributed? Will I be paid the exemption of $35,000? After the creditors and mortgage company are paid or will the mortgage balance be taken out of the $35,000 leaving me with only $17,000? I’m confused on that part. Thanks for any information.

My case was dismissed due to my attorney not submitting evidence I provided in the same format as I provided it. Is this misrepresentation?

I had a custom car painted, the paint failed within 60 days. After attempting to work with the shop that performed this service, it became obvious there wasn't going to be any type of resolution. My case was dismissed mostly do to my attorney (Doug Gradisar) submitting to the court black and white pictures of the vehicle. These pictures didn't reflect the issue at hand. I provided these pictures to my attorney in a color format that clearly depicted the failure of the services provided. At this point my attorney is billing me for his careless misrepresentation of my situation. I have tried to work with him explaining that due to his careless attention to detail I didn't feel I should be billed the full amount he is charging for his services. If I had won the case it would have been a settlement of $20,000.00 or more. I have paid nearly $4000.00 to my attorney and he is billing me an additional $7000.00 for his services. Would this be a case of negligent misrepresentation?

Can my common law trademark defeat a registered trademark?

I began using a word and logo with that word in early 2019. I did not register it yet because I was building momentum with it. I put it in my website, documents, and used it other places. I have witnesses and the documents to show I've been using it since 2019. About 18 months later someone registered the word with the trademark office when I began preparing to register it. They registered it in my area/section. They have done nothing with it the six months they have had it. I have sent them a letter, registered mail, telling them I've had a common law trademark since early 2019 and ask for their cooperation. My question is do I have a case for this trademark with my common law trademark? Can I force them to assign the federal trademark over to me? I'm even willing to reimburse the trademark fees. I'm in Las Vegas but this person is in Stamford CT
