(1) First of all, let us be clear, lead (Pb) is virtually everywhere in the Baltimore metropolitan area :it is in the air we breathe, in the water we drink we drink and use, in the food and drink compounds we ingest, dust, soil, plants, and many consumer products that are imported from out of the country, in many pre-1978 built houses and apartments, etc.
(2) The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines lead poisoning as having a lead blood level ("LBL") of 10 microliters//decaliter.
(3) Some of the key qualities about lead (Pb) that make it so useful --- but at the same time so harmful to humans--- are as follows: Lead is a malleable, utilitarian, heavy metal (Atomic Number 82), that does not dissolve in water, is not biodegradable, and does not dissipate nor decay nor burn. Lead lasts, and lasts, and lasts.
(4) A blood lead level test reflects lead exposure only within the last 90 days of the test.
(5) It is said that about one in five children in urban areas like Baltimore are affected by lead poisoning. Lead is particularly harmful to children under the age of 6.
(6) Baltimore banned the interior use of lead paint in Baltimore public housing in 1951
(7) Baltimore banned the interior use of lead paint in all Baltimore housing in 1966.
(8) The Federal government outlawed the consumer use of lead paint in 1978.

Premier divorce and family law attorney Charles Jerome Ware is Maryland-based and nationally-respected for his impressive success in resolving difficult divorce and family law issues on behalf of his many satisfied clients.

No matter your personality make-up, attitude, feelings, education or training, etc., divorce can be traumatic. I know from my intense representation of divorce clients very successfully for over 35 years in both Montgomery and Howard counties, as well as many other in-state and out-of-state jurisdictions.
In many marriages a series of stressful events can occur when the parties divorce, particularly when children are involved. As a result, the emotions involved with the changes that occur in divorce can frequently impair the parties efforts to make sound decisions. Along with having good attorneys on both sides, getting through a divorce may be easier if you are better informed generally about the process before it even begins. The following are just a few of many tips I give my clients to help them make it through this difficult process :
(1) In reality, no person actually and truly "wins" in a divorce; therefore, it is not a prudent attitude to expect to "win" your divorce. The better attitude for a person is, with my help, to expect to "successfully survive" your divorce.
(2) Do not make important or critical decisions in the divorce process without carefully thinking them through and without consulting your divorce attorney.
(3) Always remember: you and your spouse are the ones divorcing --- not your children. Saying cruel things about your estranged spouse around your children is not helpful for the children.
(4) I have found that every divorce I have been involved in, or know of, is or was unique, specifically in facts. Therefore, it is not a good idea to believe or act upon everything other people say to you about their divorce --- or even about your divorce.
(5) Through your divorce process, try to keep your eyes on the "big picture" (the significant goals you wish to attain, etc.).

As far as the "lead (Pb)" world goes, lead has long been considered to be harmful to the human body as an environmental pollutant. In the July 1904 edition of its monthly publication, major paint manufacturer Sherwin Williams reported on the dangers of paint containing lead pigments, citing French researchers' conclusion that lead paint was " poisonous in large degrees, both for workmen as well as inhabitants of houses painted with lead colors" [ " Dangers of White Lead", by Richard Guenther, 02/24/1904, Hathitrust].
Nevertheless, when lead-based paint was marketed and sold (white lead paint was used since Colonial Times) in the area now known as America --- before it was banned by the Federal Government (Consumer Product Safety Commission) in 1978 --- it was a legal product in great demand because it was, inter alia, washable and durable. It was repeatedly endorsed by the Federal, state, and local governments, and specified for use on government buildings until the mid-1970s. In 1951, Baltimore banned the use of lead pigment in interior paint in Baltimore public housing; the first such restriction in the United States. Lead paint was banned for interior use in all housing in Baltimore city.

Excerpted from a new book manuscript on landlord lead paint and lead poisoning defense by premier Baltimore, Maryland lead defense attorney Charles Ware :
*** Numerous judges, state and local officials, and commentators have suggested
that in certain circumstances lead poisoning are "indefensible" ***
From my defense lawyer perspective, development of the lead paint defense
begins when the landowner or landlord purchases the rental property.
GOOD MAINTENANCE of the rental, ADEQUATE NOTICE to the tenants,
and GOOD RECORD-KEEPING 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.
1. Tenant File;
2. Records of Tenant Complaints;
3. Property Repair Records;
4. Maintenance Records;
5. Names, etc., of Vendors;
6. Names, etc., of Entities Retained to Insure Compliance with
Federal, State, and Local Laws;
7. Names of Persons Responsible for Repair and Maintenance of
the rental property; and
8. Lead Abatement Records.

One of the greatest sources of inaccuracy in drunk driving blood-alcohol testing is the consistently recurring fiction (lie) by law enforcement that the individual tested is perfectly "average" in certain critical physiological traits.
In other words, obtaining an accurate blood-alcohol reading is completely dependent on the validity of a number of scientific assumptions. Unfortunately for the person, male or female, being tested, these assumptions are usually inaccurate. It is extremely rare that the person is "average" in even one of the so-called critical characteristics used to allegedly determine the person's blood-alcohol concentration (BAC).

There are at least six (6) factors that can affect DUI breathalyzer accuracy:
1. HUMAN ERROR. Possibly the most frequent factor. As allegedly easy as breathalyzers are to use, they still require some human attention to detail.
2. CALIBRATION. Breathalyzers must be calibrated periodically batteries must be replaced in a timely manner in order to maintain accuracy.
3. CONSISTENCY. To assist with accuracy, breath tests should be performed multiple times to produce alleged reliable results.
4. SOFTWARE. Breathalyzers run on software, just as computers rely on operating systems. Consequently, occasionally there are bugs and glitches in their operation.
5. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. False results are frequently triggered by the presence of substances such as paint fumes, varnish, and chemicals such as plastics and adhesives.
6. FOREIGN SUBSTANCES. Substances present in mouth of the person that contain alcohol can frequently produce false positives because the amount of alcohol vapor these substances emit may be greater than the amount exhaled from the lungs.

DUI field sobriety tests ("FSTs") are inaccurate. A key reason FSTs are inaccurate is because they are "subjective" in nature, and subject to the whims, mood, competence, capability, attitude, training, agenda and fairness of the police officer administering the tests or interpreting the results.
Beginning in the 1970s, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)conducted research into the possible development of a series or battery of so-called "standardized field sobriety tests" (SFSTs). The goal was to develop and use these tests to make it easier for police to detect and arrest drunk drivers.
Six(6) tests were used in the initial stages of the research:
1. The Walk-and-Turn (WAT) Test
2. The One-Legged Stand (OLS) Test
3. The Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) Test
4. The Finger-to-Nose Test
5. The Finger Counting Test (Thumb and Finger)
6. The Drawing on Paper Test
Eventually, these tests were narrowed to the following general standard three (3):
1. The Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus Test
2. The Walk and Turn Test
3. The one-Legged Stand Test
They are all subjective in results and consequently can be very inaccurate.

DUI breathalyzers are inaccurate ! They are inaccurate for many reasons, but one of those reasons is
radio frequency interference ("RFI").
DUI breathalyzers can pick up from certain devices such as cellphones, police radios, AM and FM radios, fluorescent lights, fax machines, walkie-talkies, securi9ty cameras and microwaves, etc., radio frequencies that can cause inaccurate and false results on these breathalyzers, and thus create biases against drivers/suspects.
Some courts have held that admissibility of the DUI breath test may be compromised for failure to comply with the regulations showing that RFI protection procedures have been followed [State vs. Koch, 671 N.E. 2d 333 (Ohio App. 1996) ]., where police did not conduct RFI checks for all bands of police radio frequencies as required by state administrative codes.

Montgomery County and Howard County are probably two of the "better" (more progressive) jurisdictions in Maryland in judicially handling DUI and DWI cases. However, be ever mindful that Maryland is still very much a state that takes DUI and DWI violations very seriously.
To keep it simple and distinguish the two "drunk driving" offenses, remember:
(1) The DUI, or "Driving Under the Influence" of alcohol, occurs when your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08 % or above; and
(2) A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.07 or less of alcohol generally qualifies as a DWI ("driving While Impaired).

BALTIMORE LANDLORD LEAD PAINT DEFENSE CENTER
www.charlesjeromeware.com "Here to make a Difference."
There are many rules and laws in effect in Baltimore concerning lead paint abatement and liability.
Residential rental housing landlords should be aware of all of them. Rather than outline all of these laws [ I have done so in many other blogs], I will attempt in an extremely summary fashion a few tips on how residential landlords can avoid, or defend against, lead paint claims and lawsuits.
Development of the Lead Paint Defense begins when the landowner of landlord purchases the rental property. GOOD MAINTENANCE of the rental is mandatory, LEGALLY ADEQUATE NOTICE to tenants is necessary, and ORGANIZED RECORD-KEEPING on both tenants and the rental property
(i.e, tenant files) isadvised on a long-term basis.
For an initial courtesy consultationwith an attorney, contact Charles Jerome Ware, LLC at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016; or email us at charlesjeromeware@msn.com. We can help you.

LEAD(Pb) DEFENSE: DISPROVING LIABILITY IN LEAD PAINT CASES
www.charlesjeromeware.com "Here to make a Difference."
One of the best, and most unfortunate, defenses for landlords against lead paint liability is the fact that lead is essentially everywhere in the earth's environment : in the air we breathe, the water we drink and use, soil, plants, food and drink compounds, cooking utensils, ceramics and pottery, industrial sites, buildings, furniture and toys, etc. In so-called civilization we cannot escape the presence of lead (Pb).
However, I recommend that prudent landlords be aware, at least, of the following tips:
1. If you are going to be a landlord for residential rental properties built in the United States before 1978 (particularly in large metropolitan areas like Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and Boston, etc.) learn the laws, rules and regulations regarding lead paint abatement, etc.
2. Good maintenance of the rental property is absolutely crucial.
3. Lawful and adequate notice to tenants is mandatory.
4 Good, long-term record-keeping/documentation about the property and tenants (tenant file) is very important.
If you, as a landlord, cannot follow these basic tips --- then do not become the landlord

LANDLORD DEFENSE ATTORNEYS: BALIMOR. LEAD IN INNER CITY SOIL
www.charlesjeromeware.com "Here to make a Difference."
Premier defense attorney Charles Ware is Maryland-based, nationally -respected, and well-known for his highly-successful legal representation of landlords who have been sued for lead paint poisoning. for an initial courtesy consultation, contact Attorney Charles Ware and his staff at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016.; or at email charlesjeromeware@msn.com, or facsimile (410) 730-7603.
Policies to reduce lead poisoning in Baltimore's children have, thus far, focused on lead-based paint in housing; therefore, total responsibility and liability have rested on residential housing landlords. Recent studies, however, are indicating that Baltimore and Maryland state officials are overlooking a major source of toxic lead in Baltimore's environment : the soil.
Academic researchers are finding that soil-lead concentrations in old communities of large cities such as Baltimore is 10 to 100 times greater than comparable neighborhoods of smaller cities. In addition, soil-lead concentrations diminish with distance from a city center. For example, in the inner city of Baltimore, where soil-lead concentrations are highest, Baltimore had mostly unpainted brick buildings, since its inner city underwent a large fire in 1904. On reconstruction, the new building codes required the use of fireproof (thus, brick) construction materials. The sites of old housing constructed with lead painted wood siding are located in outlying parts of the city, where the lead content of the soils is lowest.
Since Baltimore is a large metropolitan East Coast city which historically boomed with a heavy industrial-plant presence which used abundant amounts of lead --- and since lead is a heavy earth metal (Atomic Number 82) which is renowned for its long life span --- it makes sense that over time large amounts of lead would settle in Baltimore's soil. <more>

CAMPAIGN "CHECKPOINT STRIKEFORCE" AND "DRUNK DRIVING ENFORCEMENT ZONES":
In March of 2008, Maryland law enforcement began a statewide drunk driving enforcement campaign called " Checkpoint Strikeforce" ( No-it was NOT a Jackie Chan movie). As part of the effort police departments would start placing "Drunk Driver Enforcement Zone" banners on roadsides in the state where sobriety checkpoints and police saturation patrols would occur. The program has expanded since that time.
Apparently the goal was, when motorists see the "Drunk Driving Enforcement Zone" banners they can be sure police are in that area looking for drunk drivers (actually, not a bad idea). No subterfuge here by law enforcement. But, drivers cannot be lax. Police continue to employ all of their other law enforcement strategies and techniques to warn the public and make DUI arrests.
To my knowledge, Maryland is the first jurisdiction to engage this campaign. I have no definitive sense at this time of its success or failure.

BALTIMORE LANDLORD LEAD DEFENSE : LEAD POISONING RADIOLOGIC MANIFESTATIONS - "PLUMBISM"
www.charlesjeromeware.com "Here to make a Difference."
Since lead poisoning is considered to be a public health crisis in Baltimore, and since lead (Pb) arguably can be found in every area in the city, prudence dictates that residential rental property landlords be particularly vigilant and diligent in providing good maintenance on their properties, assuring adequate notice to their tenants, and maintaining good and long-term record-keeping on both tenants and properties. Should landlords have any questions, or desire an initial courtesy consultation on lead paint poisoning, contact nationally-respected defense attorney Charles Jerome Ware at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016; or email at charlesjeromeware@msn,com, or facsimile at (410) 730-7603. We can help you if you have been sued for alleged lead poisoning of tenants.
Let's begin with this fact: Lead (Pb) is virtually everywhere in Baltimore. It is the air we breathe, the water we drink and use, pipes and plumbing fixtures, soil, plants, food and drink compounds, ceramics and pottery, cooking utensils and cosmetics, etc., and -- yes -- in the lead-based paint found in many houses and apartments built in the city before 1978.
- Lead poisoning ("Plumbism") remains a significant problem in the United States, despite numerous good-faith efforts to reduce lead contaminants.
- It should be noted that it is virtually impossible to remove lead from the earth's environment since lead (Pb) does not dissolve in water, nor decay, nor dissipate, nor burn. Lead just lasts, and lasts, and lasts ... virtually forever.
- Lead poisoning is particularly harmful for children under the age of 6 years.
- About 98% of lead poisoning cases in children occur between ages 2 and 6.
- To be harmful, lead is either inhaled or ingested.
- Lead in the human body frequently settles in the bone. The average "half-life" of lead in bone is reported to be about 10 years.
- Lead is a malleable, utilitarian, heavy metal (Atomic Number 82) that is critical -- even necessary - to the earth's structure.
- Lead has been mined and used prolifically by many societies, cultures and countries for over 6,000 years (since about 4,000 B.C.).

Charles Jerome Ware is consistently ranked among the best divorce and family law attorneys in Maryland. He is the recipient of numerous awards recognizing his success in resolving divorce and other family law issues over a significant period of time. for an initial courtesy consultation, contact Attorney Charles Ware and his colleagues at Charles Jerome Ware, LLC : (410) 720-6129 or (410) 739-5016; or email, at charlesjeromeware@msn.com, or facsimile (410) 730-7603. He and his staff can help you survive your divorce as well as other family law problems.
From my many successful years of practicing law I have observed that, no matter one's personality or training or demeanor, divorce can be traumatic for the parties and others affected --- especially the children. The divorce process can also be very frequently uncivil . We try to be as civil as the process will allow us in these contested cases. But, we are NOT push-overs in fighting for full rights on behalf of our clients. We are here to make a positive difference and secure successful outcomes for our clients.
It may be helpful for persons seeking divorce in Maryland to understand that the State of Maryland traditionally has a reputation as conservative and paternalistic in the context of its divorce laws. Traditionally, Maryland has been among the last states to adopt updated uniform state laws addressing various issues within the arena of divorce and family law. BUT, THAT HAS NOW CHANGED :
Three (3) new 2015 Maryland laws are now in effect that radically affect divorce in this state
These new laws essentially grant more authority to Maryland residents to decide for themselves when and how they can divorce.
(1) The first new law reduces the time from one year to 6 months the time needed for one of the parties to reside in Maryland if the grounds (legal reasons) for divorce occurred outside of the State of Maryland.
(2) The second new law removes elements of the "limited divorce" ground that required voluntariness of the separation and the absence of any reasonable expectation of reconciliation. In other words, this law recognizes that if the parties no longer live together and one of them no longer wants to continue the marriage relationship, neither a court nor the state of Maryland should prevent the limited divorce process.
(3) I call the third new law the "mutual consent" ground for divorce, This law essentially allows a couple who have worked out all the terms to their divorce, and who have no children in common, to avoid waiting up to a full year before asking the court for a divorce. This law also potentially allows this sam ecouple, where finances are tight, to live in the same house while in the process of getting the divorce. Furthermore, in some circumstances, this law could allow marital assets needed post-divorce, for such things as housing costs, to be divided sooner rather than later.
When a marriage ends, spouses , their children and other family and friends, often face a whirlwind of chaos, conflict, stress and trauma. Having an attorney on their side who will, at least, seek civility and order in this difficult process can be extremely helpful in fashioning and orchestrating a successful result for the client .

The premier, nationally-respected, Maryland-based law firm of Charles Jerome Ware, LLC is renowned for its successful representation of landlords and landowners who have been sued in lead paint poisoning cases. For an initial courtesy consultation, contact the firm at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016; or email, charlesjeromeware@msn.com, or fax, at (410) 730-7606.
Not all residential landlords in Baltimore are "slumlords". In fact, the opposite is true. Most Baltimore residential landlords are people who, in good faith, are seeking to provide habitable rental units at fair and reasonable prices. To be sure, though, there are some truly "bad apples" among the many people and companies who serve as residential landlords in the City. We do not represent those types of landlords.
But, let's be clear. Baltimore is considered by many people to be "ground zero" for lead paint and lead poisoning in the United States, because of its history of industrial lead (Pb) as well as lead paint uses.
Lead paint and/or lead poisoning claims by rental property residents are prolific in Baltimore. Lead is virtually everywhere in the City : in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, the food and drink compounds we ingest, dust, soil, pipes and plumbing fixtures, and numerous other products we consume and use. For various reasons, however, lead paint continues to be the primary target for lead poisoning claims; even though Baltimore is traditionally a heavily-industrial city which has used lead in abundance in its manufacturing plants. Lead is a malleable, utilitarian, heavy metal (Atomic Number 82) that does not dissolve in water, nor dissipate, nor decay, nor burn. As a substance, lead just lasts, and lasts, and lasts. That one of the reasons it can be so harmful to the human body.
Prudent residential landlords must be cognizant of the following advice in order to avoid and/or prevail against lead paint poisoning claims and lawsuits:
Development of the lead paint poisoning defense 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 are paramount to successful avoidance of, and prevailing in. lead paint claims and lawsuits. Keep good tenant files for each tenant for at least a full 21 years.

Lead is a malleable, utilitarian (useful), heavy metal (Atomic Number 82) that does not dissolve in water, does not dissipate, does not decay, and does not burn. Lead just lasts, and lasts, and lasts -- literally forever. In sufficient quantity, when inhaled or ingested into the human body lead can be very harmful --- particularly in children under the age of 6.
According to historical records, lead has been mined and used in a prolific manner by major cultures and civilizations going back as far as 4,000 B.C. --- over 6,000 years ago. Industrially it has, and continues to be in many countries, a very useful earth metal --- despite its demonstrated harmful effects on the human body.
Lead is virtually everywhere in industrialized societies on earth --- and especially in places such as Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Washington, D.C., etc. It is in the air we breathe, the water we drink and use, the food and drink compounds we ingest, soil, plants, cookware, cosmetics, foreign-made toys and furniture, buildings, etc., and yes --- in many pre-1978 built apartments and houses.
The use of so-called "white lead" began in "America" in Colonial Times and ultimately peaked in 1922. When lead-based paint was marketed and sold (before it was banned by the Federal Government for consumer uses in 1978), it was a legal product in great demand because it was washable and durable, among other qualities. Lead paint was repeatedly endorsed by the federal , state and local governments, and specified for use on government buildings until the mid-1970s. Its use peaked in 1922, and by 1940 the use of white lead pigments for interiors of houses and some other buildings was on the wane.
In 1951, recognizing how bad the lead paint problem was in Baltimore, the City banned the use of lead pigment in Baltimore housing. This was the very first such restriction in the United States.

Premier landlord lead paint poisoning defense attorney Charles Jerome Ware is Maryland-based, nationally known and respected, and highly regarded for his many successful legal representations of clients who have been sued for lead paint poisoning.

As a residential rental landlord of pre-1978 built housing, one must be cognizant of some fundamental facts about lead and lead-based paint. First, lead (Pb) is virtually everywhere in civilized and industrial society. The reason for that is that lead has been mined and used by all major societies since at least 4,000 B.C. --- over 6,000 years. Further, lead lasts, and lasts, and lasts. It is a malleable, very utilitarian, heavy metal (Atomic Number 82) that does not dissolve in water, nor decay, nor dissipate, nor burn. It's here to stay.
Lead is in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food and drink compounds we ingest, dust, soil, cooking utensils, pipes and other plumbing fixtures, and many other products we use and/or consume.
The best defenses to rental property lead paint poisoning claims are good MAINTENANCE of the rental property, quick response to allegations of ILLNESSES by tenants, legally-compliant NOTICE to tenants, and complete DOCUMENTATION of the tenant and the rental property in tenant files [ "MIND"]. Lead is not going away anytime soon. Prepare for tenant complaints.

BASIC MONTGOMERY COUNTY & HOWARD COUNTY DIVORCE : 3 NEW LAWS
www.charlesjeromeware.com "Here to make a Difference."
The premier Maryland-based law firm of Charles Jerome Ware, LLC is highly-respected in Maryland divorce and family law. The firm's founder is, and has for many years been, ranked as one of the "BEST 10" divorce and family law attorneys in Maryland, and in particular --- Montgomery County and Howard County. For an initial courtesy consultation, contact divorce attorney Charles Ware at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. He can help you with this difficult and stressful circumstance.
After many years of stagnation, there are now three (3) new laws from the recent 2015 Maryland General Assembly that significantly affect Maryland divorce.:
1. The first new law reduces the time from one year to six months for the minimum time the parties must reside in Maryland if the grounds (legal basis) for divorce occurred outside of the State of Maryland.
2. The second new law removes elements of the limited divorce ground that required voluntariness of the separation and the absence of any reasonableness expectation of reconciliation. In other words, it recognizes that if the parties no longer live together, and one of them no longer wants to continue the marriage relationship, neither a court nor the State of Maryland should prevent the limited divorce process.
3. The third new divorce law is a brand new ground (legally sufficient reason) for divorce. Let's call it "mutual consent". The law allows divorce with no waiting period where a couple with no children in common have settled all issues in a written and signed agreement that is presented to the court.

LANDLORDS & TENANTS : AVOIDING BALTIMORE LEAD PAINT CLAIMS AND LAWSUITS
www.charlesjeromeware.com "Here to make a Difference."
The premier Maryland-based, nationally-respected law firm of Charles Jerome Ware, LLC is widely known for its successful legal representation of landlords in lead paint poisoning cases for an initial courtesy consultation, contact the firm at (410) 720-6129 of (410) 730-5016; or email, charlesjeromeware@msn.com, or fax (410) 730-7603. We can help you if you are a landlord who has been sued for lead paint damages.
Although residential landlords and tenants should strive to work together in their contractual housing relationships, it frequently does not work out that way. That's why there are laws, contracts, rules and procedures to guide and help both sides along the way.
Lead poisoning is a very serious matter that is taken very seriously in Maryland. Lead is toxic to the human body, especially in children. Therefore, there are numerous laws and regulations concerning protections afforded residential tenants in avoiding lead poisoning. The 1992 Federal Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act, commonly known as TITLE X (Title 10), was passed in an attempt to reduce the number of lead poisoning victims in the United States. Title 10 is enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and it enforces regulations related to rental property buildings that were constructed before 1978. Actually, in 1951 Baltimore banned the use of lead pigment in interior paint in Baltimore city public housing --- the first such restriction in the United States. Further, in 1978 the Federal government (via the Consumer Product Safety Commission) banned all consumer uses of lead paint. In order to be in compliance with EPA regulations, landlords must disclose any known lead-based paint or lead hazards on the rental property to tenants before signing a lease or renewing a lease. In addition to this disclosure, and an EPA-approved document verifying the disclosure, landlords must also provide tenants with the EPA pamphlet, Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home, or another Maryland state-approved pamphlet.
Good maintenance of rental properties by landlords is a must, adequate notice to tenants is necessary, and good record-keeping/documentation is paramount to the successful avoidance of, and prevailing in, lead paint claims and lawsuits in Baltimore.

HISTORY OF LEAD PAINT IN BALTIMORE
Lead-based paint ("lead paint") has been in use in Baltimore residences , government buildings, and commercial buildings for many, many years. Use of white lead (for painting and covering purposes) began in Colonial times and ultimately peaked in 1922. Before 1978, lead paint was a popular legal product in great demand because it was , among other things, washable and durable. It was repeatedly endorsed by the federal government, and state and local governments, and it was specified for use on government buildings until the mid-1970s. Because of mounting health concerns (particularly in children), in 1951 Baltimore banned the use of lead pigment in interior paint in Baltimore public housing; the first such restriction in the country. In 1955 the paint industry, under pressure from public health officials and organizations, adopted a "voluntary" national standard to prohibit the use of lead pigments in interior residential paints. Through the 1950s and 1960s, the use of exterior lead-based paint declined significantly, and ended by the early 1970s. In 1971, the Federal Lead Poisoning Prevention Act was passed. In 1978, the Federal government (via the Consumer Product Safety Commission) banned consumer uses of lead paint all together. As uses of lead pigments in paints evolved, so did the primary pathways through which children were thought to be exposed to lead and the level of exposure thought to be "safe". It was not until about 1974 or so that household dust began to emerge as a possible pathway for lead exposure in children and adults.
LEGAL DEFENSES TO LEAD PAINT CLAIMS AND LAWSUITS
Because of it long history of use, lead (Pb) is virtually everywhere in Baltimore. It is in the air we breathe, in the water we drink and use, in the food we eat and drinks we consume, and in numerous other man-made products we inhale and ingest and use. Lead has been mined and used throughout the "civilized" world for over 6,000 years (since at least 4,000 B.C.). It is a malleable, utilitarian, heavy metal (Atomic Number 82), that does not dissolve in water, does not dissipate, does not decay, nor burn. Lead effectively lasts, and lasts, and lasts ... forever.
With proper precautions, landlords and landowners can avoid and even win lead paint claims and lawsuits. Development of lead paint defenses begins when the rental property landowner or residential landlord 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 --- particularly regarding pre-1978 built units.

Development of lead paint defenses begins when the rental property landowner or residential landlord 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 --- particularly regarding pre-1978 built units.

BALTIMORE LANDLORD LEAD PAINT ABATEMENT TIPS : DEFENSE ATTORNEYS - CHARLES JEROME WARE, LLC

Charles Jerome Ware, LLC is a premier, Maryland-based, nationally-respected, landlord lead paint defense law firm. If you are a landlord and you desire an initial courtesy consultation, contact us at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016; or email us at charlesjeromeware@msn.com. We can help you.
Documented and/or registered lead paint abatement (removal) by residential landlords in Baltimore is crucial for both the tenant and the landlord --- particularly in residences built before 1978. Lead is considered to be a public health problem in the city, therefore the issue demands the landlord's full attention. However, Maryland and Federal law require that landlords use certified and professional workers in their lead abatement of rental apartments and houses.
Maryland law, for example. mandates that anyone who acts as a contractor or supervisor for the purpose of abating lead paint must be accredited by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE). Workers who perform purposeful lead abatement shall be trained by a training provider approved by MDE.
Landlords should be aware that residences built in Baltimore before 1978 may very well contain lead paint; and that residences built before 1950 in Baltimore are very likely to contain lead paint. Lead paint was banned in Baltimore for interior residential use in Baltimore public housing in 1951. This was the very first such lead paint restriction in the United States. In 1978, the Federal government (via the Consumer Product Safety Commission) banned consumer uses of lead paint.

Being a residential landlord in Baltimore, Maryland can be rather difficult at times due to, among other reasons, the public health problem of toxic lead. Lead (Pb) is a ubiquitous contaminant in the Baltimore area. It is virtually everywhere : in the air we inhale, in the drinking water, in the food and drink we ingest, and in other products. It is particularly an issue in pre-1978 built apartments and houses. Potential and current residential landlords should be aware of this fact.
Lead does not easily go away. In fact, this heavy metal (Atomic Number 82) lasts, and lasts, and lasts. When inhaled or ingested, lead is harmful to the human body. It is a malleable, utilitarian metal that does not decay, dissipate, dissolve in water, nor burn. As a residential landlord in Baltimore, with its older (pre-1978 built) residential units, lead can be a nemesis. Never turn your back on this potential problem.

Toxic lead is virtually everywhere in Baltimore : including in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, and in the items/products we inhale or ingest. It can also be in pre-1978 built housing. If you are planning to buy, rent or renovate housing in Baltimore, a few tips are in order, and may be helpful:

2. Workers who perform any purposeful lead abatement work on residential rental properties in Baltimore must be trained by a training provider approved by the MDE.
3. Be aware at all times that toxic lead is considered to be a public health problem in Baltimore, especially for children from infancy up to six years of age
4. Houses and apartments built before 1978 may contain lead paint.
5. Houses and apartments built before 1950 are considered likely to contain lead paint.
6 . Dry scraping, dry sanding and burning of lead paint may release dangerous lead dust into the environment.

BALTIMORE - THE CITY OF LEAD (Pb) : LEAD DEFENSE ATTORNEY UPDATE, Charles Jerome Ware, LLC
www.charlesjeromeware.com " Here to make a Difference."
Charles Jerome Ware, LLC is a Maryland-based, nationally-respected, landlord lead paint defense law firm. If you are being sued for lead paint claims, call us at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. We can help you.
Because of its many pre-1978 built apartments and houses still in existence, its legacy (historical), industrial, commercial, and consumer uses of lead, Baltimore can be said to be the city of lead. Toxic lead is considered to be a public health crisis in the Baltimore metropolitan area because of the numerous cases of lead poisoning, in addition to the traditional big industrial northeast city contact with this metal.
Lead is a malleable, utilitarian, heavy metal (Atomic Number 82) that does not dissolve in water, does not decay, does not dissipate, and does not burn. Lead (Pb) lasts, and lasts, and lasts. When inhaled or ingested into the human body, lead stays in the body in some form and some place.
Because of its traditional usefulness, lead has been mined and used by civilizations for over 6,000 years (since about 4,000 B.C.). Ingestion and inhalation of toxic lead has, thus, been around equally as long, causing harm to humans.
Despite the fact that lead is virtually everywhere in the industrial world --- including the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the products we consume, etc. --- by far the largest number of toxic lead claims and lawsuits in Baltimore every year are filed against landlords who rent pre-1978 built apartments and houses. The key allegations for these claims involve lead paint on or in the rental properties. For residential landlords, Baltimore is truly the city of lead.
When lead paint (lead-based paint) was marketed and sold in the United States prior to 1978, it was a popular, utilitarian, and legal product in great demand because it was among other qualities, washable and durable. It was repeatedly endorsed by the federal government, state and local governments, and specified for use on government buildings until the mid-1970s. Its use peaked in 1922, and by 1940 the use of white lead pigments for interiors of buildings was fading rapidly. Lead-based paint began its use in North America during Colonial times.
Since about 1922, Baltimore has been front and center in monitoring the toxic lead problem. In 1951, Baltimore banned the use of lead pigment in interior paint in Baltimore public housing; the first such restriction on lead paint in the United States. There were intervening developments, and in 1978 the federal government banned all consumer uses of lead paint.

UNDERSTANDING BALTIMORE LEAD PAINT LITIGATION : Charles Jerome Ware, LLC, A Maryland Lead Defense Law Firm
www.charlesjeromeware.com " Here to make a Difference."
Charles Jerome Ware, LLC is a successful Maryland-based, nationally-respected, landlord lead paint poisoning defense law firm. For an initial courtesy consultation, contact the firm at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. We successfully defend landlords.
Lead (Pb) is everywhere in Baltimore : in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, in many products we use, and in other items we either ingest or inhale. This is why Baltimore has been declared for many years to be a metropolitan area with toxic lead public health problems. For some reason, despite the well-known wide-spread notion that lead is everywhere in the area, the brunt of toxic lead claims and litigation has for several years been brought against residential landlords whose rental properties were built before 1978 and at some point
contained substantial amounts of lead paint.
There are thousands of pre-1978 built apartments and houses in the Baltimore area. Therein lies the essential problem for Baltimore landlords.
Lead (Pb) is a malleable, utilitarian (useful), "heavy" metal (Atomic Number 82) that does not really decay, nor dissolve in water, nor dissipate, nor burn. Lead lasts, and lasts, and lasts --- even when ingested or inhaled into the human body. In fact, it is harmful to the human body.
Lead has been mined and used plentifully by civilizations for over 6,000 years --- since about 4,000 B.C.; starting as early as the Hebrews, Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, etc., and continuing up to current times.
Use of lead paint (initially, white lead) began in the Baltimore area during Colonial times. White lead use ultimately peaked in the United States in 1922.When lead paint was marketed and sold before 1978 in America, it was a popular legal in great demand because it was, among other things, washable and durable. Lead paint was repeatedly endorsed by the U.S., state, and local governments and specified for use on government buildings until the mid-1970s.
Because of its proven harmfulness to humans when inhaled or ingested, in 1951 Baltimore City banned the use of lead pigment in interior paint in Baltimore City public housing. This was the first such restriction on lead paint in the United States.
In 1955, the paint industry, working with public health officials and organizations and officials, adopted a national standard to prohibit, in effect, the use of lead pigments in interior residential paints.
Through the 1950s and 1960s, the use of exterior lead paint declined significantly, and ended by the early 1970s.
In 1971, the federal Lead Poisoning Prevention Act was passed.
In 1978, the federal government banned consumer uses of lead paint via the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Since the early 1990s, lead paint poisoning claims and litigation against landlords have been prolific in Baltimore City.

Lead (Pb) is everywhere in Baltimore : in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, in many products we use, and in other items we either ingest or inhale. This is why Baltimore has been declared for many years to be a metropolitan area with toxic lead public health problems. For some reason, despite the well-known wide-spread notion that lead is everywhere in the area, the brunt of toxic lead claims and litigation has for several years been brought against residential landlords whose rental properties were built before 1978 and at some point
contained substantial amounts of lead paint.
There are thousands of pre-1978 built apartments and houses in the Baltimore area. Therein lies the essential problem for Baltimore landlords.

Lead (Pb) illnesses are a public health problem in Baltimore, as well as in other metropolitan jurisdictions in the United States.
Lead is virtually everywhere in our society - including the air we breathe, the water we drink, and items that we ingest and inhale such as foods. etc. However, the most prevalent targets for toxic lead claims in Baltimore area are lead paint in residential units (including both houses and apartments).
Potential as well as actual residential landlords should be aware of the possible lead paint problems frequently presented in pre-1978 built houses and apartments. Lead has been used abundantly for construction and industrial purposes, including leaded paint, in the United States since Colonial times. For example, the use of white lead began in Colonial times and ultimately peaked in 1922. In 1951, Baltimore banned the use of lead pigment in interior paint in Baltimore housing --- the first such restriction in the country. In 1978, the federal government banned completely consumer uses of lead paint.
Landlords should begin developing their lead paint defenses when purchasing the rental property. Have the property inspected for lead before purchasing it. After the purchase, good maintenance of the rental property, adequate notice to the tenants, and good record-keeping/documentationbecome paramount to successful avoidance of, and prevailing in, lead paint claims and lawsuits.

MODERN HOWARD COUNTY MARYLAND DIVORCE : 3 NEW LAWS
www.charlesjeromeware.com "Here to make a Difference."
There are three(3) new Maryland Divorce Laws that were enacted in 2015 which make the divorce process in Howard County more convenient.
The first law clarifies and simplifies the circumstances in which a married couple can get a limited (partial) )divorce.. This law removes elements of the limited divorce grounds that required voluntariness of the separation and the absence of any reasonable expectation of reconciliation. That is, this law recognizes that if the parties no longer live together, and one of them no longer wants to continue the marriage relationship, neither a court nor the state of Maryland should prevent the limited divorce process.
The second new law reduces the time from one year to six months the time needed for one of the parties to reside in Maryland if the grounds (legal basis) for divorce occurred outside of the state of Maryland.
The third new divorce law creates an entirely new ground ("legally good enough" reason) for divorce. It essentially allows a couple who have worked out all the terms to their divorce , and who have no children in common, to avoid waiting up to a full year before asking the court for a divorce. This law allows divorce with no waiting period where a couple with no children in common have settled all issues in a WRITTEN and SIGNED AGREEMENT that is presented to the court.
