LEAD-SAFE IN BALTIMORE ? : LANDLORD DEFENSE ATTORNEY UPDATE

www.charlesjeromeware.com.   "Here to make a difference."

Charles Jerome Ware, Attorneys & Counselors, LLC, is a premier Baltimore area-based national landlord lead paint poisoning defense law firm.  For an initial courtesy consultation, contact us at charlesjeromeware@msn.com,  (410) 730-5016  or  (410) 720-6129.

Baltimore is a difficult jurisdiction to defend lead poisoning lawsuits, which is why representation of defendant landlords by experienced defense attorneys is so important in these cases.

Indeed, numerous observers of the " politics of lead paint' in Baltimore have suggested that in certain circumstances lead poisoning cases are "indefensible".  At this law firm, it is our mission to counter that perspective.

Making your property "lead-safe" in Baltimore is principally about continous proper maintenance of the property. Obviously, any documentation to verify the performance of proper maintenance, painting and/or renovation will enhance the landlord's defenses in residential lead poisoning lawsuits.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has stated that "undisturbed" (i.e., in good condition) lead-based paint is usually not harmful to the body.  It is when the lead-based paint becomes "disturbed" (i.e., peeled, chipped, lead dust, or otherwise deteriorated) that it can be harmful
(particularly to children under the age of 6). Being truly "lead-safe" in Baltimore goes beyond a simple one-time inspection of the residential unit. 

Call us for a courtesy consultation if you have been sued for lead-based paint poisoning. We can help you.
