NEW MARYLAND COURTS GUARDIANSHIP RULES FOR VULNERABLE ADULTS : JANUARY 1, 2018

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

Starting January 1st, 2018 there are changes in effect to court rules in Maryland that are designed to help safeguard the personal and financial well-being of vulnerable Marylanders.  The changes will apply to court-appointed guardians, guardianships and attorneys. Guardians are appointed by the court to make personal or financial decisions on behalf of someone who is unable to manage those matters because of age, disease or disability.

The new changes in court rules include the following:

 (1) New certification requirements to be completed by physicians, psychologists, and licensed certified clinical social workers [ Amendments to Maryland Rule 10-202].

 (2) New training and eligibility requirements for attorneys appointed to represent individuals who are the subjects of proceedings to establish guardianships [ Amendments to Maryland Rule 10-106 and the Maryland Guidelines for Court-Appointed Attorneys in Guardianship Proceedings ( attached as Appendix to Title 10)].

(3) New orientation and training requirements for guardians of the person and property [Amendments To Maryland Rule 10-108; new Maryland Rules 10-205.1 and 10-304.1; and the Guidelines for Court-Appointed Guardians of the Person and Guidelines for Court-Appointed Guardians of the Property 9attached as new appendices to Title 10)].

(4) New factors for courts to consider when determining whether good cause exists to appoint as a guardian an individual who has been convicted of an offense listed in  Estates & Trusts Article, Section 11-114 ( new Maryland Rule 10-113).

(5) New factors for courts to consider when determining whether to require a guardian of the property to post a bond [ Amendments to Maryland Rule 10-702].

ALL ABOUT LEAD (Pb) - 101: MARYLAND & D.C. LEAD PAINT DEFENSE ATTORNEYS - "BEST ATTORNEYS" - CHARLES JEROME WARE, LLC

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

If you have been named or sued in a lead paint poisoning claim or case, call us for a free consultation at the Law Firm of Charles Jerome Ware, LLC,  at (410) 720-6129  or  (410) 730-5016.  We can help you. 

Lead (Pb) is a heavy, low melting, bluish-gray  metal that occurs naturally in the Earth's crust. However, it is rarely found in a natural state as a metal. It is usually found in combination with two or more other elements to form lead compounds. Over the years, lead (Pb) has been mixed with gasoline and with paint, used as solder for cans and for copper pipes, as piping for drinking water, blended with vinyl and with brass, employed as protective shielding against radiation and in the manufacture of batteries and computer components.

For thousands of years lead has proven to be a very useful substance. For nearly as long, we have also known that exposure to lead can cause serious adverse health effects. In major Mid-Atlantic and Northeast areas such as Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York and Boston, for example, lead turns up in our pre-1978 built apartments and houses, government and commercial buildings, yards, in the air, in our water and plumbing, in our landfills, etc.

Lead is a powerful neurotoxin, which means excessive exposure to it can damage the brain. It can also injure other soft tissues and organs, can interfere with the formation of blood, and exposure to enough lead (Pb) can even kill. Both children and adults are vulnerable to lead's health effects.

Due to the very high number of  pre-1978 built apartments and houses in Baltimore and the District of Columbia, residential rental landlords and home owners are primary targets for lead paint claims and lawsuits in these metropolitan areas.

MARYLAND LEAD-BASED PAINT LITIGATION - A PRIMER : LEAD DEFENSE ATTORNEY CHARLES JEROME WARE, LLC, (410) 720-6129

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

If you have been named or sued in a lead-based paint liability case, call the Law Firm of Charles Jerome Ware, LLC for a free initial consultation at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. We can help you.

Because of its long history of lead (Pb) usage for residential, industrial and commercial purposes, the Baltimore metropolitan area is considered by many commentators to be "ground zero" for lead-based paint litigation.  Every year, the docket of the Baltimore City Circuit Court is loaded with its share of lead paint lawsuits against residential landlords and owners of apartments and houses in the area. These cases are complex, time-consuming, expensive and emotional; therefore, defendants should be very wary of attempts to represent themselves in them.

Owners and landlords of pre-1978 built apartments and houses in Maryland should be particularly careful and vigilant about lead-based paint on their properties. Before it was outlawed by the Federal government in 1978 (and even earlier in Baltimore City), lead-based paint was a very popular choice for inside and outside use with real estate. Legacy (old) lead dust, chips, flakes, etc., are particular favorites for babies and young children (up to age 6) to put in their mouths because of the sweet taste. Lead (Pb) is poisonous to the human body, which is why it is outlawed in the United States for a variety of consumer, residential and other commercial purposes.

As a landlord or owner of residential rental real estate properties, there are a number of state and federal lead-based paint-related laws, rules, statutes and protocols that you are required to follow. Call us with your concerns or questions. We can help you.

CHARLES WARE'S TOP 12 MARYLAND, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AND U.S.      SUPREME COURT DUI CASES : A PRIMER :

                                               MARYLAND
1. Motor Vehicle Administration v. April Marie Deering, Maryland Court of Appeals, No. 52, September Term, 2013, Decided May 21, 2014.

Decision:  A driver who is stopped by a police officer on suspicion of drunk driving, who is asked to take a breath test (breathalyzer) under the "implied consent administrative  per se law', and whose license is administratively suspended under that law as a result of an adverse test result or a refusal to take the test is not entitled to have the suspension set aside on the ground that the driver was not permitted to consult counsel when deciding whether to take the test.

                                          DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
2. Reynard Eaglin v. District of Columbia, District of Columbia Court of Appeals, No. 14-CT-279, Decided August 27, 2015.

Decision :  Appellant Eaglin  was found guilty of DUI in the District of Columbia and given an "enhanced sentence" of jail time, pursuant to D.C. Code Section 50-2206.13, as an individual who the court decided qualified for such as a result of a "prior offense" of DUI in Maryland. Apparently there was no dispute that Mr. Eaglin had "pled guilty" to a prior DUI in Maryland. The Court concluded that Mr. Eaglin's plea of guilty to DUI in a different jurisdiction (Maryland) rendered him a "prior offender" under D.C. Code Section 50-2206.13.

                                    UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT

3. Missouri v. McNeely, 596 U.S. ____ (2013).
4. South Dakota v. Neville, 522 U.S. 136 (1997).
5. Pennsylvania v. Muniz, 496 U.S. 582 (1990).
6. Michigan v. Sitz, 496 U.S. 444 (1990).
7. Blanton v. North Las Vegas, 489 v. 538 (1989).
8. California v. Trombetta, 467 U.S. 479 (1984).
9. Bell v. Burson,, 402 U.S. 535 (1971).
10. Schmerber v. California,, 384 U.S. 757 (1966).
11. Morissette v. United States, 342 U.S. 246 (1952).

 CHARLES JEROME WARE is rated by his clients, his peers and the American Institute of DUI/DWI Attorneys [AIDUIA] as one of the "10 BEST DUI and DWI ATTORNEYS" in the State of Maryland, among several other "TOP LAWYER" and "BEST ATTORNEY" awards and recognitions. If you have been arrested or charged with drunk driving in the State of Maryland or Washington, D.C., call this premier DUI and DWI defense attorney and his professional staff at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. They can help you survive your drunk driving ordeal.

For even veteran DUI and DWI defense attorneys, defending drunk driving cases has always presented special  circumstances and obstacles for the defendant. Mounting a successful DUI or DWI defense today is more difficult than ever. That is just one reason why experience counts in defending these cases.

Driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) or Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is one of the most commonly committed crimes in the United States. But, this offense does not automatically mean that the accused is a criminal. For the most part, this offense is almost always committed by a non-criminal --- that is, by an otherwise respectable and law-abiding citizen who has never been in trouble with the law previously. Since the offense is considered and treated seriously by law enforcement, and since the personal and career ramifications can be traumatic to one's life, self-representation or even minimal representation is not a wise option.

litigation law firm of  Charles Jerome Ware, LLC at (410) 720-6129  or  (411) 730-5016. We can help you when you are injured in a car or truck crash.

Being in a car or truck accident can be a traumatic experience to both your body and emotional state. And, of course, with so much going on in the immediate period afterwards, it can be, and will be, difficult to keep some important points in mind. With that being said, however, try to remember the following  --- at the very least:
     1. If you are injured, or think you are injured from the accident, seek immediate medical attention. This will frequently involve an ambulance or EMT.
     2. Dial "911" for both the police and emergency personnel, if necessary.
     3. Try to stay as calm as possible.
     4. Check for your injuries, and those of others.
     5. Turn on your hazard lights, if able.
     6. Contact us as soon as you are physically able. We can help you from there.

SURVIVING A DUI ARREST IN MARYLAND - A PRIMER

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

Premier DUI and DWI defense attorney Charles Jerome Ware is ranked among the best drunk driving and criminal defense attorneys in the State of Maryland.  For an initial free consultation, do not hesitate to call him you have been arrested or charged in Maryland with a DUI or DWI at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. He and his staff will be pleased to provide support and help you survive this ordeal.

 The first and foremost point a person must remember upon being arrested or charged with a DUI or DWI is that the arrest or charge itself DOES NOT MAKE YOU A "CRIMINAL" !

Driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI), or so-called "drunk driving", are two of the most commonly committed crimes in the United States. Interestingly, the overwhelming majority of these "crimes" are committed by non-criminals --- otherwise quite respectable citizens who have never been in trouble with the law before. There can, however, be serious ramifications for a good and decent person's professional and personal life after this unfortunate event. This is a key reason why an experienced DUI and DWI attorney is so important for you in navigating through this stressful experience.

Be honest with yourself and seek additional therapy or counseling, but do not panic. Call us.

THE LANDLORD AND THE LEAD PAINT CASE - A PRIMER

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

The  metropolitan Mid-Atlantic and Northeast areas of the United States are considered by many to be "ground zero" for residential rental lead paint poisoning cases. These heavily-populated metropolitan centers include Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York and Boston, among others.

The reasons for this  lead (Pb) concentration are several : the heavy concentration of pre-1978 built apartments and houses that were originally lead-based painted both inside and out; the heavy use of lead (Pb) in factories which abounded in these areas;  the continued use of lead pipes, plumbing and water-containing utensils; and, of course, the extensive use of lead in government and commercial buildings, inter alia.

Unfortunately, since commercial paint manufacturers and the government have failed to come forward and assume an acceptable level of responsibility for medical and social injuries that have
occurred as a result of lead ingestion, the vast majority of these claims for lead -based paint damages are being brought against   residential rental landlords; most of whom are the least prepared to handle these private and governmental lawsuits against them.

Too many new  potential landlords do not engage in the necessary due diligence (research) before purchasing these pre-1978 built properties. The vast majority of already have some lead(Pb) in them; and many have never undergone lead remediation or even certified lead inspection. Simply, they do not know what they are getting into when they purchase the property and become the landlord for it.

Preparation, maintenance, notice and record-keeping are key points to always remember if you are a residential rental landlord for pre-1978 built properties in these metropolitan areas --- or desire to be.

Anxiety and depression frequently result in the drinking of alcohol.  As a consequence, they can also result in drunk driving arrests. There are defenses, though. Alcohol is not always the cause of the police-observed behavior at the point of a DUI arrest; but, instead, the DUI suspect's autonomic nervous system response to their depression and /or the anxiety directly resulting from the stop by the police officer. In addition, there is an understandable fear by the driver of the resulting circumstances, be they known or unknown.

[The following is for informational purposes only, and not intended as legal advice.]

1. For several good reasons, personal injury is an area of the law that does not lend itself well to self-representation. Get a personal injury lawyer when you are injured in an accident.
2. There are many different laws that cover the area of personal injury, including vehicle accidents, slip-and-falls, medical malpractice, product liability, etc. All have their own rules, laws and procedures to follow when prosecuting claims. Very thorough research is required to determine whether you can win a personal injury case.
3. There are no pre-printed, self-help forms to fill out and follow when pursuing a personal injury case.
4. Keep good and complete records regarding your accident as well as your injuries --- including pictures, videos, etc.
5. Be aware of your relevant statute of limitations (time limit to file your claim), and contact a lawyer as immediately as possible after your accident. If you miss the time limit, you lose the right to pursue your claim. *
6. Get proper medical treatment expeditiously. Do not delay. Keep good medical and other health-related records.

* 7. The "statute of limitations" that applies to most personal injury cases ( or "torts") in Maryland is Maryland Courts & Judicial Proceedings, Section 5-101, which provides that " a civil action at law shall be filed within three years from the date it "accrues" unless another provision of the Code provides a different period of time within which an action shall be commenced." However, actions for assault, libel, or slander must be filed within one year of the date when they accrue, according to Maryland Courts & Judicial Proceedings, Section 5-105.

Breath analysis is by far the most commonly used method of testing for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels in DUI and DWI cases in Maryland. While not as accurate or reliable as blood tests, breathalyzers generally have been regarded as acceptably accurate for use in drunk driving investigations --- if administered properly.

The underlying theory behind virtually all breath test devices is that there is a uniform and standard ration of breath alcohol to blood alcohol in the ratio of 2100 to 1. In reality, this is not always true. In theory, however, 2100 cubic centimeters of exhaled breath may contain the same percent by weight of alcohol as one cubic centimeter of whole blood.  This relationship is commonly expressed as the 2100 : 1 ratio and is also variously referred to by the terms  "partition ratio", "conversion ratio", and "breath to blood ratio".

As we have proven in defense of our DUI and DWI clients over the years, there are several defenses to breathalyzers and their results. The more complicated the technology, the more sensitive the tests to variations.

AVOIDING A DUI THIS HOLIDAY HOLIDAY SEASON - 101 : "BEST DUI/DWI ATTORNEYS" [AIDUID]

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

Clearly, the very best way to avoid a DUI or DWI arrest this holiday season is to not drink and drive. Realistically, however, we know that once Halloween comes and the holiday season begins, almost endless opportunities abound for celebration and drinking --- which makes any plan of not drinking much more difficult to accomplish.

A few tips and reminders may be in order to help avoid your DUI or DWI arrest:

1. If you choose to drink, get a designated driver ( a sober friend, for example).

2. Or, get a taxicab, or Uber, etc., to transport you after the event.

3. Plan to stay at the host's (hostess') home overnight, or a friend nearby, or a hotel nearby, etc.

4. Stay home, party and drink.

5. If you are one of those persons determined to drink and drive, at least try to stay under the 0.08 % BAC level by doing the following :
          - Eating food while you are drinking;
          - Drinking lots of water; and
          - Pacing your drinking.

Goodluck !

 Driving under the Influence of alcohol (DUI), or "drunk driving", is one of the most commonly committed crimes in the United States. However, it is very frequently committed by noncriminals --- that is, by good people who are otherwise respectable law-abiding citizens who have never been in trouble with the law before.

Getting arrested and charged with a DUI or DWI is a traumatic, intimidating and very serious matter. The experience demands an experienced defense attorney.

First-offender DUI  drivers who are convicted can face up to 1 year in jail; up to $1,000 in fines and penalties; and a minimum license suspension of 6 months. Second-offender DUI drivers can face up to 2 years in jail; up to $2,000 in fines and penalties; and a minimum license suspension of  1 year. A Third-offender DUI driver faces up to 3 years in jail ; up to $3,000 in fines and penalties; and a minimum license suspension of 18 months.

There are at least 8 common DUI defenses that I am aware of : (1) the accused was not the driver; (2) improper police actions that violated the accused's civil rights; (3) rising blood alcohol concentration; improper administration and/or inaccuracy of the blood test as well as the chain of custody of the blood; (4) improper police stop of the driver; (5) improper administration and/or inaccuracy of the field sobriety tests; (6) improper administration  and/or inaccuracy of the portable breathalyzer; and (7) improper administration and/or inaccuracy of the standard breathalyzer test.

     [ For multi-unit buildings this requirement includes records and reports concerning common areas and other units when such information was obtained as a result of a building-wide evaluation.]

(3) a lead disclosure attachment to the lease, or language inserted in the lease, that includes a "Leas Warning Statement" and confirms that you have complied with all notification requirements.

A driver in Maryland charged with a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) has a few different options when it comes to presenting defenses to these charges.

There are some affirmative defenses that exist in unusual circumstances, even when the evidence otherwise supports the charge. However, it is more common to defend against a drunk driving charge by challenging the police officer's observations and actions regarding what happened prior to the arrest or challenging the integrity of the evidence, such as the accuracy of a breathalyzer test.

You should always consult with a lawyer when you are charged with drunk driving. This is a serious charge in Maryland, with serious consequences.

Some common drunk driving defenses include : improper police stop; improper administration of field sobriety tests; improper administration of breathalyzer tests; improper police actions; etc.

Some affirmative defenses include : necessity; duress; entrapment; mistake of fact; involuntary intoxication; etc.

The following is for informational purposes only, and not intended or designed to be legal advice.

               TOP 10 MISTAKES MARYLAND LANDLORDS MAKE :

1. Not getting the necessary liability insurance coverage for hazards; and in Baltimore particularly, lead paint liability coverage.
2. Not adequately researching the history of the property before acquiring it. For example, apartments and houses built in Baltimore before 1978 are more likely to contain some degree of lead-based paint.
3. Being in a rush to fill a rental vacancy and not properly checking prospective tenants' credit history, references and background.
4. Not maintaining tenant and rental property files. This includes not getting all of the important terms of the tenancy in writing.
5. Failing to establish a clear, fair system of setting, collecting, holding and returning security deposits.
6. Not staying on top of repair and maintenance needs and failing to make repairs when requested or needed. This includes failure to disclose and remedy environmental hazards such as lead (Pb).
7. Allowing your tenants and the property to be easy targets for criminal activity.
8. Failing to educate themselves on local and state rules and regulations for renting properties.
9. Failing to notify tenants of information that the law requires landlords to notify tenants of [ for example, TITLE 10].
10. Not providing adequate supervision of the property.

The Baltimore Lead Paint Study was a controversial clinical study conducted by the Johns Hopkins Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) in low-income Baltimore neighborhoods during the 1990s. The stated purpose of the study was to investigate the health effects of lead paint in children and the effectiveness of lower cost techniques in abating lead content in residential properties.  Upon widespread discovery of the study, it ended at the turn of the millennia (2000) and met extensive criticism for issues regarding the target population, a significant portion of which were African American children, and patient ethics such as consent regarding children and health risks when exposing subjects to cheaper but less effective health conditions. The backlash culminated in class action lawsuits against KKI , representing  a hundred or so affected children without adequate care.

Lead poisoning is a big problem in Baltimore, particularly, and in Maryland, generally, because of the long-time use of lead (Pb) in Maryland factories, residences, and other commercial projects. Lead has a legacy history of being used in paint due to its role in maintaining a paint's color as well as its role in increasing a paint's durability.

Lead's toxicity was established as a valid concern that modern medicine in the early half of the 20th century could address with public health measures in the United States.  In 1951, Baltimore was the first to ban the use of lead-based paint in new housing, starting a move towards abating the amount of lead (Pb) use in homes.  Twenty-seven years later, in 1978, the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission instituted a nationwide ban on lead paint in the United States that affects residences and consumer products.

Many commentators consider Baltimore to be "ground zero" for lead paint poisoning cases. The major recipients of lead paint poisoning claims and lawsuits in Baltimore are residential rental landlords and owners.

Generally, Maryland follows the traditional "at-fault" system when it comes to car accident cases and insurance laws.  If you were injured in a car accident, you must prove fault on part of the other driver. If you are able to prove fault on part of that person, you have three options to receive money damages:
                (1) file a claim under your own insurance policy;
                (2) file a claim through the other driver's insurance; or
                (3) file a lawsuit against the other driver who is at fault.

If you are unable to resolve a dispute with an insurance company, you have two options:
                (1) Rapid Response Program; and
                (2) written complaints.

Car accidents are traumatic and dangerous. Getting hurt in a car accident is traumatic, dangerous and physically life-impacting . The process of settling a car accident claim can be lengthy, complicated, and even seemingly backwards and unduly harsh at times. That is  where we come in. Our track record of successfully settling hundreds of car and truck injury cases over the years has prepared us to provide you with the very best representation for your accident case.

Car accidents are inevitable in our society; and, as we know, they are usually the other driver's fault.
Besides burdening you (the victim) with pain, injury and discomfort, car and truck accidents cause personal financial crises by keeping you out of work, expending personal funds for treatment and medicines, etc.

Consequently, if you are like most car accident victims, you may be unable to pay off your medical bills and other daily living expenses immediately. That is where we come in, again, to negotiate and settle these payments.

When you are injured in a car accident, call as promptly as possible so that we begin the process of establishing and maximizing your rightful claim for damages.

Divorce is traumatic. However, being prepared and being ready , both emotionally and intellectually, will allow for a much successful resolution for you. This is the case whether your divorce is resolved more quickly through settlement or through a prolonged trial.

There are over 1,000,000 divorces in the United States every year, and over $50 billion in assets handled between the parties in these divorces each year.

Both Howard and Montgomery counties have good reputations for even-handed handling of divorce case. That's good. For what I would describe as a successful divorce, some of the attributes that come to mind are comprehension and fairness to the parties, economical, relatively fast, etc.

15 DIVORCE SUCCESS TIPS FOR HOWARD COUNTY AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY:

1. ATTITUDE ABOUT THE DIVORCE : Despite widespread thinking, divorce is not always necessarily destructive or even a negative development. Many divorces, in fact, lead to happier, more balanced lives for both parties. By focusing on constructive conversations and outcomes, your divorce can be successful in all the ways that really matter. In order to get there, both parties must have the proper attitude.
2. LEARN BEFORE YOU BURN. Educate yourself about the divorce process. As with everything in divorce law, PREPARATION is key. Do not just rely just on others who have divorced  for all of your guidance. Seek professional advice. In over 35 years of doing this, I have observed that each and every divorce is unique in its facts and its ramifications. No two divorces are the same.
3. MANAGE YOUR EXPECTATIONS.  Do not allow your emotions to get the best of you. Try to maintain realistic expectations in the divorce.
4.Try to see and understand the positive side of dealing with lawyers and the courts --- though this may seem difficult at times.
5. Try to avoid bitterness, particularly to the extent that it interferes with your realistic plans to complete the divorce and move forward with your life.
6. Decide on how family life should be organized when children are involved. Remember that you and your spouse are the ones divorcing, not the children. Try your best to keep the children out of fray between you and your spouse.
7.Try to take the high road in your divorce. Plan carefully, and resist the urge to act irrationally.
8. Make sure that you have developed a comprehensive list of issues to be resolved. Take some time and give good thought to this. Plan ahead. And, plan as if your spouse is planning ahead, as well.
9. Take time to think about and understand your best and worst-case scenarios. Do not panic.
10. Be in the position to take advantage of opportunities that your spouse may present; such as, for example, if possible, speeding up the divorce to accommodate the opposing spouse if your financial settlement package will be more generous, etc.
11. Keep in contact with your attorney and other professional advisers. Certainly, at least keep your attorney apprised of relevant developments.
12. Deal appropriately with relationship adjustments between you and your extended family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances, co-workers, etc.
13.Learn to regain your sense of  you as an individual. Distance yourself from aspects of the broken relationship. Move on to rediscover your own individuality.
14 Do not focus on the now. Focus on the future. Focus, for example, on five years from now.
15. MIND YOUR MONEY. Take stock of you finances with an inventory of your assets.

If you or someone you know is being sued for lead-based paint poisoning here in the Baltimore area, call us at the lead paint defense law firm of Charles Jerome Ware, LLC for a free consultation : (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. We can help you.

Because of its long history of lead(Pb) use for industrial, residential and other commercial purposes, lead is prevalent in certain communities in the city; particularly in some residential communities. This problem is compounded by the fact that Baltimore is a relatively older American city with older housing and other buildings. When we use the phrase "older housing and other buildings" we are generally referring to houses and apartments that were built prior to 1978. It was in 1978 that lead(Pb) was outlawed by the federal government for consumer and residential purposes. Prior to that time --- and certainly prior to about 1952 in Baltimore --- lead-based paint was popular for use in and on apartments, houses, government buildings, commercial establishments, and so forth.
Unfortunately, for the last couple of decades, the targets for lead poisoning complaints, claims and lawsuits have been residential rental landlords and owners; even though there are many other sources of harmful lead that people are exposed to in this area, besides just their residences.

If you have questions about lead (Pb) issues in Baltimore and other Maryland areas, and in the District of Columbia, call us at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. We can answer your questions, and we can help you assert your lead defenses.

If you have been sued in a lead paint case in Baltimore, call us at the law offices of Charles Jerome Ware, LLC for a free consultation : (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. We can help you.

Because of its long history of lead (Pb) use --- industrially, commercially and residentially --- Baltimore is considered by many to be "ground zero" for lead-base paint cases. This view is proven by the number of lead paint poisoning claims filed each year in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City.
Rental property owners should be aware of these factors before purchasing a house or apartment unit to rent in the city. Rental owners should be particularly aware of rental properties built before 1978 in Baltimore. These properties are much more prone to contain some amount of lead paint dust, scraps, etc. Lead paint was outlawed for residential and consumer use by the federal government in 1978.

Rental property owners should only use Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE)-lead certified workers to do lead remediation work or other work on the property that involves lead dust, etc.

Rental property owners should seek affordable lead liability insurance for their properties.

Rental property owners should always provide law-compliant notice to tenants of hazards such as lead on the property.

Rental property owners should be vigilant with maintenance of their rental properties, notice to tenants, and maintain good record-keeping on the property.

If you are a residential landlord and are being sued for alleged lead paint poisoning, call us at the law offices of Charles Jerome Ware, LLC for a free initial consultation. We can help you with your defenses.

Due to the heavy use of lead (Pb) and lead-based paint for many years in Baltimore's pre-1978 history, lead poisoning in some parts of the city is a problem; particularly in certain residential communities. The usual targets for lead-based paint lawsuits in Baltimore are small residential landlords who may own less than five rental properties.

Residential landlords should be vigilant about researching the history or background of any pre-1978 built property before purchasing it. The likelihood of lead-based paint and dust is high in these buildings. Further, all residential rental properties should be inspected by  licensed, certified lead inspectors prior to renting the property. All lead removal and remediation, all other construction work on the property must be done by Maryland Department of the Environment-certified workers. And, tenants must be notified, pursuant to law, of all hazardous conditions related to the property, including lead(Pb).

The keys to being a  successful residential landlord in Baltimore are preparation, maintenance, notice to tenants, vigilance and diligence.

Alcohol is frequently not the cause of traditional stereotyped actions or behaviors of suspects accused of drunk driving.  Instead, the suspect's autonomic nervous response to the anxiety directly resulting from the police stop by law enforcement is frequently the cause, due to an understandable fear of the uncertain resulting circumstances.

1. Always research the lead paint  history of the real estate before purchasing and renting it ; particularly when the property was built before 1978.

2. Pay close attention to a potential tenant's credit history, references, and background.

3. Have the property thoroughly checked for lead by  Maryland Department of the Environment-certified lead inspectors before deciding whether to rent it out.

4. If you decide to rent out  the property, make sure you and the tenant (in advance) inspect it together for lead, and have the tenant sign-off on a checklist for each room, etc., agreeing that no lead or lead dust was present in or on the property.

5. Use only Maryland Department of the Environment- lead certified workers for all work on the structure.

6. Acquire and maintain lead liability insurance on the rental property.

7. Always disclose to the tenant and remedy promptly upon knowledge of all environmental hazards such as lead; even those hazards you did not know about or cause. Notice to tenants is important regarding these issues.

8. Choose carefully a responsible and knowledgeable rental housing manager.

9. Insist always on knowing who is living in your property. This information should be recorded in the lease. Keep an up to date tenant and property file.

10. Be responsible and lawful in not allowing your tenants and property to be easy marks for criminals.

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

Residential lead paint cases are prolific in both the Baltimore metropolitan area as well as Washington, D.C. The reasons are because of the age of  many residential neighborhoods, the long-time use of lead(Pb) in company plants and plumbing, and the prolific use of lead in paint for many buildings, et al. In some neighborhoods in Baltimore, for example, lead is essentially everywhere in some quantity : in the paint, plumbing, ground, water, and even the air.  Residential rental landlords are usually painted as the culprits in lead poisoning cases, but that accusation is not always accurate.

Lead paint was outlawed for residential and consumer purposes by the federal government in 1978. It was forbidden in Baltimore public housing years before that. However, after several decades of use, despite considerable lead removal and remediation efforts, legacy lead paint has continued to exist in certain Residential areas of Baltimore and Washington, D.C. 

If you or someone you know is facing a lead paint poisoning claim, contact the national law offices of Charles Jerome Ware, LLC here in Maryland, at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. We can defend you. We can help you.

DEAR LOUISIANA COURTS : A " LAWYER, DOG" IS NOT A CANINE ATTORNEY

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

There goes the Louisiana Supreme Court, again.

When many Americans say, in the vernacular, " I'll hit you up later, Dog", they are typically saying that they will contact the other person sometime later. They are not calling the person a "later dog."
The Louisiana courts, by now, should know that. Apparently, they do not.

When a 22-year old suspect in New Orleans, while being interrogated, told police detectives "just give me a lawyer, Dog", the police cleverly, but maliciously, miscommunicated his statement to say " just give me a lawyer dog." This miscommunication was, of course, ridiculous; but the highest court in Louisiana --- the Louisiana Supreme Court ---  shockingly agreed with the police. The court ruled that the suspect was, in fact, asking for a "lawyer dog" and was not invoking his constitutional right to human legal counsel. 

The suspect, Warren Demesme, was being interrogated by New Orleans detectives in October 2015 after two young girls claimed he had sexually assaulted them. It was the second time he had been brought in to the police station, and he was apparently getting frustrated. Demesme had repeatedly denied the crime; and finally he allegedly told the police [ as written and interpreted by the police] :

          " This is how I feel, if y'all think I did it, I know that I didn't do it so why don't you just
            give  me a lawyer dog 'cause this is not what's up."

The particular punctuation by the police, arguably critical to Demesme's use of the sobriquet "dog", was gratuitous in this contextual vernacular --- and was suspiciously provided by the Orleans Parish District Attorney's office in a legal brief.  It was then inappropriately adopted by Louisiana Associate Supreme Court Justice Scott J. Crichton.

It is unclear as to how many "lawyer dogs" there are in Louisiana.

THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY SCAMS AND SCHEMES : A PRIMER

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

The following scams and schemes are extraordinarily popular and successful. My advice is that you be aware of them, and obviously try to avoid them. Generally, if you have been made an investment offer that sounds too good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true. Therefore, it is most likely a scam to steal your money.

PONZI/PYRAMID SCHEMES are always suspect. Long before the name-sake for these scams, Charles Ponzi, was born, they were popular in some form in Europe. Famous writer Charles Dickens even described a version of this lucrative scheme in his novel, Little Dorrit, published in 1857. Ponzi/pyramid scams have probably stolen more money from victims than any other type of scam. A reason for this is because early investors, who are paid with the assets of later investors, believe they have a great investment; therefore, they tell family, friends and associates about it. Consequently, this Ponzi schemer-manufactured phenomenon of excitement creates many more (new) investors who provide the new assets needed by the scam operators to meet the withdrawals being made of early investors. Eventually, this gravy train ends tragically for many later investors. Ponzi schemers, such as Bernard Madoff, can perpetuate themselves and their schemes for decades as long as there are no excessive demands for distribution  [Chapter 7: "From Charles Ponzi to Bernard Madoff --- The 'Ponzi' and Other Investment Schemes", from the book, LEGAL CONSUMER TIPS AND SECRETS : Avoiding Debtors' Prison in the United States, by Charles Jerome Ware].

INVESTMENT SEMINARS are frequently scams because the only people making any money from these seminars are the people who are presenting the seminars. Most of these seminars promote "get rich quick" schemes, which almost never succeed for most people. Avoid them.

UNREGISTERED INVESTMENTS (bearer bonds, etc.) are a no-no. Unregistered financial documents may "look real", but a potential investor should not assume they are. Lawful financial security documents must be registered with the proper regulatory agencies. Clever criminals can easily copy legitimate financial documents and pawn them off as real. If they are not properly registered, they are not real.

ANNUITIES can frequently be scams when financial advisors replace investors' current annuities with inferior annuity products. This is done by the advisor so that he or she can generate new rounds of commissions from the investors' assets  [ Source: Paladin Research & Registry].

INVESTING IN PRECIOUS METALS is another popular and age-old scam. It can be as exotic as the scams of trading securities or currency manipulation. Simply put, like other scams the alleged gold or silver bullion the investor believes he or she is buying may not even exist. It can be, in effect, another Ponzi scheme. One reason for this scam's success is that the schemers know that most investors will not bother to insist on visiting the company headquarters or location where the alleged bullion is claimed to be stored.

[This blog is for informational purposes only, and is not intended to be legal advice]

Generally, there are four (4) ways you cab become a United States citizen :

(1)  If you were born in the United States, you are automatically a U.S. citizen.

(2)  In some cases, you may have automatically become a U.S. citizen even if you were born outside the United States, if one or both of your parents were U.S. citizens when you were born. The citizenship rules for people born outside of the United States are very complicated. If you were not born in this country and you had a parent who was a U.S. citizen, you should talk to an experienced immigration lawyer or accredited representative to determine if you automatically became a U.S. citizen.

(3) If you had a green card and were under eighteen years old when one or both of your parents were or became U.S. citizens, you may have automatically become a U.S. citizen even if you were born outside the United States. The specific rules for becoming a U.S. citizen in this way are very complicated and you should talk to an experienced immigration lawyer or accredited representative to determine if you automatically became a U.S. citizen.

(4) If you have a green card, you can apply to become a U.S. citizen through the naturalization process.
