Lead paint lawsuits against residential landlords have increased significantly in
major northeast metropolitan areas such as Baltimore, D.C. and Philadelphia in recent years.
Understandably, this situation creates considerable anxiety in the housing landlords. Although many of these claims are legitimate, all too often frivolous claims are brought against landlords who still must defend themselves against these lead (Pb) liability allegations. Should you be the recipient of
a lead paint claim, call us for a courtesy initial consultation, or with any questions you may have, at Charles Jerome Ware, LLC, (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016.  Needless to say, getting sued is no fun. It is stressful, and can be very traumatic. Getting good, experienced legal representation is a must.
The average minimum lead paint claims against landlords in Baltimore, for example, are $ 75,000.00.
However, over the years, I have represented landlord clients on several occasions who have been sued for upwards of $ 5 million. We have been fortunate to have had successful defense  representations  and defense results in all of these cases.

Anxiety is a psychological response to stressors that can have both harmful psychological and physiological components. Getting good, experienced legal defense representation can work wonders in not only having successful results in your lead paint case, but also in significantly diminishing or lowering the harmful anxiety that comes with being sued for so much money. Give us a call to discuss.
