Premier landlord lead poisoning defense attorney Charles Jerome Ware is Maryland-based, nationally-respected, and well-known for his successful legal defense representation of clients who been sued in lead poisoning lawsuits. For an initial courtesy consultation, contact defense attorney Charles Ware at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. He can help you.
The Baltimore Sun newspaper recently featured a front page article on the continuing lead paint poisoning issues in the city, as well as new efforts by community groups, officials, etc., seeking reparations, restitution, damages, etc., from major lead paint manufacturers whose lead-based paint was sold and used in Baltimore housing prior to being banned by Baltimore in 1951 and 1966, as well as by the Federal government in 1978 [ " SEEKING PAYBACK", by Luke Broadwater, Sunday Edition, February 28, 2016 ].
The article is worth the read, particularly since it indicates what some of us have been saying for years: that the lead poisoning problem is larger than just slumlords, negligent renters, and lazy government officials. At its lead paint source, a huge problem comes from big-money making paint manufacturers who aggressively sold toxic lead-based paint long after they knew or should have known of the harmful effects of the product when inhaled or ingested by humans; and in particular, by children under the age of six.

1. WHAT IS LEAD ?
Lead (Symbol "Pb") 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. No matter where it is located or situated (in nature, in the human body, in soil, in water, etc.), lead just lasts, and lasts, and lasts. In sufficient quantity, lead can be very harmful when inhaled or ingested into the human body--- particularly in infants and young children up to age 6.
2. WHERE DOES LEAD COME FROM ?
Lead comes from the ground. It is part of the earth's makeup.
Historical records show that lead has been mined and used widely on earth as long ago as 4000 B.C. --- over 6,000 years. Most of the major civilizations since its first mining have used it, including the Phoenicians, Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, Spaniards, etc. --- on up into the Industrial Age.
Because of its great industrial usefulness, lead mining and use came to North America very early in time. In fact, use of leaded paint ("white lead") began here in the Colonial Times and ultimately peaked in 1922.
3. WHY HAS LEAD PAINT BEEN USED SO MUCH IN HOUSING ?
When lead-based paint was marketed and sold (before it was banned by the Federal Government in 1978), it was a legal product in great demand because it was, among other things, washable and durable In fact, it was so popular for use in buildings that it was repeatedly endorsed by the Unites States, state, and local governments, and it was specified for use on government buildings until the mid-1970s.
4. WHAT IS LEAD POISONING ?
Because lead is virtually everywhere in civilization, lead poisoning (too much lead in the human body) is one of the more common environmental child health problems in certain areas of the United States --- and certainly metropolitan areas. Large amounts of lead in a child younger than 6, for example, can cause brain damage, mental retardation, behavior problems, mental problems, anemia, liver and kidney damage, hearing loss, hyperactivity, developmental delays, other physical problems --- and in extreme cases, death. Lead poisoning affects millions of children .
5. BESIDES LEADED PAINT, WHERE CAN LEAD BE FOUND ?
Virtually everywhere : in the air we breathe, in the dust we inhale, in the water we drink and use, ceramics and pottery, cooking utensils, in the food and drink compounds we ingest, in soil and plants, and many other products we use and consume, etc.

Montgomery County(Maryland) Landlord Lead Paint Defense : Charles Jerome Ware,LLC, A National Defense Firm
www.charlesjeromeware.com "Here to make a Difference."
The premier national law firm of Charles Jerome Ware, LLC is Maryland-based, and it is widely recognized for its successful representation of landlords in lead paint poisoning cases. For an initial courtesy consultation, contact the firm at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016; or email at charlesjeromeware@msn.com, or facsimile, at (410) 730-7603.
Baltimore is not the only geographic area in Maryland that has toxic lead paint issues. Any jurisdiction in Maryland that contains pre-1978 built rental houses and apartments --- including upscale Montgomery County --- is also subject to lead paint poisoning claims and lawsuits. Lead is virtually everywhere in Maryland in residential and industrial areas developed prior to the Federal banning of lead paint for consumer uses in 1978 : in the air, in the water, in housing, as well as in numerous consumer products manufactured or produced outside of the United States.
.For all landowners and landlords for pre-1978 built rental houses and apartments, development of the lead paint poisoning defense begins when the property is purchased. Good initial and continuing maintenance of the rental property, adequate law-satisfying notice to the tenants, and good record-keeping/documentation are paramount to successful avoidance of, and prevailing in, lead paint poisoning 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.Maintenence records (including painting and sheetrocking,etc.).
5. Names of all vendors (workers, etc.)
6.Names of any entities retained to insure compliance with federal, state and/or local laws.
7. Names of persons responsible for repair and maintenance of the.rental units.
8. Lead abatement records.
9. Other documents.

WOMEN AND DUIs IN HOWARD COUNTY MARYLAND : DEFENSE ATTORNEYS AT CHARLES JEROME WARE, LLC
www.charlesjeromeware.com "Here to make a Difference."
Charles Jerome Ware, LLC is a premier, Maryland-based, nationally-respected criminal defense and civil litigation law firm. Defense Attorney Charles Ware has long been recognized and applauded as one of the "BEST 10" DUI and DWI defense attorneys in the State of Maryland.

The number of DUI and DWI arrests against women are increasing substantially in Howard County. There are probably a number of reasons for these increases. To be sure, we have reported these facts for several years in this firm's blogs. By now, it should be common knowledge that women are simply biologically and physiologically different from men, and that our DUI enforcement is biased against women because of these physiological differences.
1. First of all, there is a fundamental flaw in thinking that women are not biased by current breathalyzer and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) tests. They are. As one example, these so-called standardized tests are allegedly based upon "the average person" ( actually, "the average male"). The problem is this : There is no "average person" for calibration of theses tests. The physiology for individuals --- and particularly the physiology between men and women --- varies too much. For example, women metabolize alcohol differently from men.
2. Certainly, there are more women in the workplace who are driving, and women are driving more miles and driving at night when they are more likely to be arrested for drunk driving.
3.And, it is certainly more socially acceptable for women to drink and drive in public than it used to be in the old days --- and in particular, younger women.
4. There are increased stressors on women for a variety of reasons such as jobs, relationship issues, depression and anxiety.
5. The female body contains a lower amount of water content than the male body.
, biologically.
6. The female body, in most instances, has relatively smaller lungs, and therefore smaller lung capacity, than the male body. This biases women to their detriment in breathalyzer tests, even when a man and a woman have consumed the same amount of alcohol.
7. Men have the advantage over women of a higher metabolism rate, which enables men to eliminate alcohol faster from their bodies than women.
8. Particularly at certain times during the month, women have higher body temperatures than
men, which can manifest itself in higher (more incriminating) readings in their breathalyzer tests.
