Excessive exposure to lead (Pb) can lead to a variety of health effects; and this exposure can be particularly toxic to young children.

Lead is a malleable and utilitarian heavy metal (Atomic Number 82) that has been mined and used in so-called civilized societies and cultures for various utilitarian purposes for over 6,000 years [since about 4,000 B.C.]. It does not dissolve in water, decay, dissipate, nor burn. Lead as a metal just lasts, and lasts, and lasts. As a result of its lasting power, lead can be found virtually everywhere in the modern world: in the air we breathe, in the water we drink and use, and in the substances we inhale and ingest. Despite its image in some major metropolitan areas such as Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia, New Your and Boston, etc., lead is NOT just restricted to the paint used in pre-1978 built apartments and houses.

However, since most toxic lead claims are filed alleging health-related illnesses in these geographic areas, supra, residential unit landlords should be aware of some fundamental tips for avoiding residential toxic lead paint liability.

Development of residential lead paint defenses begins when the landlord or landowner purchases the rental property. Good maintenance of the rental property, adequate notice to the tenants, and good record keeping/documentation are paramount to successful avoidance of, and prevailing in, lead paint claims and lawsuits.

At a minimum, the following are documents for the landlord to maintain for each tenant and each pre-1978 built residential unit, among others:

1. Tenant files.
2. Records complaints.
3. Property repair records.
4. Maintenance records (including painting and sheetrocking,etc.).
5. Names of vendors (workers ,etc.).
6. Names of any entities retained to insure compliance with federal, state and local laws.
7. Names of persons responsible for repair and maintenance of the rental units.
8. Lead abatement records.

ABCs OF DUI IN MARYLAND - HOWARD COUNTY "BLURRED LINES" DEFENSES

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


Maryland drunk driving laws are strict, and can be complex. Further, the ramifications of a DUI conviction are long-term, and can be extremely serious for  a person's personal and professional lives.
It is therefore important that you contact a qualified DUI defense attorney as quickly as possible during or after your DUI arrest. Among our many clients and fellow attorneys, premier defense attorney Charles Jerome Ware is recognized as one of the "10 BEST DUI AND DWI ATTORNEYS in the State of Maryland" , among numerous other accolades [AIDUIA]. For an initial courtesy consultation, contact him at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016 if you are arrested or charged with DUI or DWI anywhere in Maryland.


Leaving aside for the moment the hypothetical issue of whether you "blow" under, at, or over the magical "0.08" BAC on the police officers' breath machines, the key point to be mindful of is the fact that drunk driving law enforcement is centered around quick and convenient charges(that are frequently prematurely and/or inaccurately made by the officer), as well as ''stacked deck" convictions of drivers. Highly subjective conclusions drawn by arresting officers, gimmickry machines that are alleged erroneously by law enforcement to be scientifically reliable, as well as over-zealous prosecutors can make for a "bad day" in court for most defendant drivers who are without competent legal representation. Then, of course, there are MVA administrative penalties that must be dealt with --- usually prior to the court's action. The entire process is very serious, and can be treacherous for the driver. Ask any and all questions about these processes during your in-person or in-office consultation with the defense attorney.

DEVELOPMENT OF LEAD PAINT DEFENSES : Charles Jerome Ware, LLC - Baltimore, Maryland

The nationally-ranked and respected law firm of Charles Jerome Ware, LLC is based in Maryland, and the firm successfully defends landlords and landowners in lead paint and land poisoning claims and lawsuits. For an initial courtesy consultation, contact the firm at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. We can help you.

Virtually 100% of all lead paint poisoning claims in American metropolitan areas such as Baltimore, New York, Washington, Philadelphia and Boston are brought against landlords of pre-1978 built apartments and houses. This is true even though people are exposed to toxic lead through many other sources such as the air they breathe, through the water they drink, as well as the food and other items they inhale or ingest.

The development of lead paint defenses begins when the landlord or landowner purchases the rental property. GOOD MAINTENANCE of the rental property, ADEQUATE NOTICE to the tenants, and GOOD RECORD-KEEPING/DOCUMENTATION are paramount to successful avoidance of, and prevailing in, lead paint claims and lawsuits.

At a minimum, the following are documents for the landlord to maintain for each tenant and each pre-1978 built rental property, among others:

1. Tenant file.
2.Records of complaints.
3. Property repair records.
4. Maintenance records (including painting and sheetrocking).
5. Names of vendors and workers, etc.
6. Names of any entities retained to insure compliance with federal, state and local law.
7. Names of persons responsible for repairs and maintenance of the rental units.
8. Lead paint abatement records.

BALTIMORE RESIDENTIAL LEAD POISONING DEFENSES: LEAD IN WATER

The national law firm of Charles Jerome Ware, LLC is a Maryland-based landlord lead paint defense firm. For an initial courtesy consultation, contact the firm at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. We can help landlords in lead poisoning and lead paint cases.

Though the vast majority of lead poisoning lawsuits in Baltimore are brought against residential landlords for allegations of lead paint ingestion and inhalation,  there are numerous other sources of toxic lead that can cause lead poisoning as well. In Baltimore and other older East Coast cities and towns one major source is the public water we drink and use.

Even though lead has been banned for most consumer-type uses (including paint) in the United States since at least 1978, it is still very much present in our old public pipes, plumbing, vessels, and other utilities that carry our drinking water into our residences. We consume this water in some form or dimension everyday.
