"THE GODFATHER" JAMES BROWN'S ESTATE FIASCO CONTINUES: ESTATE LAW UPDATE
Dateline: Friday, August 8, 2014.

The "Godfather of Soul," the "Hardest Working Man in Show Business," "Mr. DynOmite, Mr. Out O Sight," James Brown died on December 25th, 2006, but his estate fiasco unfortunately continues to this very day --- 8 years later.
The great entertainer's prior estate planning not only cost his estate multiple millions of dollars in estate taxes, it also is costing the estate wasted millions of dollars in estate administration and litigation fees, as well as causing his remains the indignity of sitting around for three months before burial.
By the time the dust settles in this brutal estate fiasco, which will probably still be a few years "get on up" the road, marginal amounts of funds will be available to implement James Brown's vision and desire of funding scholarships for poor children in South Carolina's Aiken County and his home town of Augusta, Georgia.

Drunk driving laws in Maryland are strict and complex.
If you have been arrested for DUI or DWI in the state of Maryland, it is very important that you contact a DUI attorney as soon as possible. After a DUI arrest, you have only 10 days from the date of the arrest to request a Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) hearing with the office of administrative hearings and pay $125 to the Maryland State Treasurer. If a person is arrested for drunk driving or DUI and fails to request the hearing on time, their license will be suspended automatically.
In Maryland the blood alcohol concentration level (BAC) for a DUI (driving under the influence)arrest is .08 or higher. A blood alcohol concentration level of .07 will result in a DWI (driving while impaired) arrest.
Drinking and Driving Laws in Maryland
The State of Maryland prohibits driving under the influence of alcohol when your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .08 percent or above. The .08 limit is a standard measurement used across the United States for the "impaired" adult driver. The State of Maryland has a zero tolerance for alcohol for drivers under the age of 21. If a driver under the age of 21 is found to have a .02 percent BAC or above their license could be suspended or revoked. Commercial drivers also face a lower BAC limit of .04 percent.
How many drinks does it take to reach the legal limit in Maryland? It is difficult to guess how many drinks it will take to reach the .08 BAC limit. Each person has unique physical characteristics that factor into the BAC equation. Attributes such as weight, sex, number of drinks consumed over a given time, if you have eaten, all play into the BAC formula. The best answer is not to drink and drive. The State of Maryland has strict laws for drunk driving, and when you drink and drive in Maryland, you risk your freedom, finances and your future.
The first time you are convicted of a DUI in the State of Maryland you will face up to 1 year in jail and up to a $1,000 fine. If you were transporting a minor when you were arrested you could be sentenced up to 2 years in jail a pay up to a $2,000 fine. Your drivers license will also be suspended for a minimum of 45 days. Your first DWI conviction will cost you up to 2 months in jail and a $500 fine. In addition, your drivers license could be suspended 60 days.
The second time you are convicted of a DUI, you could be sentenced up to 2 years in jail and fined up to $2,000. If you were transporting a minor when you were arrested you could be sentenced up to 3 years in jail a pay up to a $3,000 fine. Your drivers license will also be suspended for a minimum of 1 year. For your second DWI, you will be fined up to $500 and/or 1 year in jail plus a minimum of 60 day suspension of your drivers license.
The 3rd time you receive a DUI in the State of Maryland you will face up to 3 years imprisonment. Your fine will be up to $3,000 and if you were transporting a minor at the time of your arrest you could face up to 4 years in prison and up to a $4,000 fine.

BALTIMORE LANDLORD: RECENT COURT DECISIONS IN LEAD POISONING CASES

Charles Jerome Ware, Attorneys & Counselors, LLC, is a premier, well-establish Maryland-based national landlord lead-based paint poisoning defense law firm. For an initial courtesy consultation, contact the firm at charlesjeromeware@msn.com, (410) 730-5106 or (410) 720-6129.
The infamous and awful Johns Hopkins University Kennedy Krieger Institute's "Baltimore Lead Study" of 1993 has done much in souring the local sentiment regarding due process for landlords as defendants in lead-based paint poisoning lawsuits.
In the 1990s, a prominent research facility associated with Johns Hopkins University conducted an experiment that knowingly exposed children — mostly African American, some as young as a year old — to varying levels of potentially dangerous lead, as part of a study comparing different degrees of lead paint abatement. The researchers, at Hopkins’ Kennedy Krieger Institute, recruited poor families to move into homes that had only been partially abated using three different methods of lead paint removal at three different levels of cost.
It is this type of negative exposure, in conjunction with many "slum lords," that makes it more difficult for honest landlords to mount defense in their cases. Indeed, due to all the negativity directed towards landlords in these cases, numerous judges, public officials and commentators have suggested that in certain circumstances lead poisoning cases are "indefensible."

BALTIMORE LANDOWNER LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS
www.CharlesJeromeWare.com. "Here to make a difference."
Charles Jerome Ware, Attorneys & Counselors, LLC, is a premier Maryland and D.C.-based national lead-based paint poisoning defense law firm. For an initial courtesy consultation, contact us at charlesjeromeware@msn.com, (410) 730-5016 or (410) 720-6129. We represent landlords and landowners who are sued for lead-based paint poisoning. We can help you.
Definition of the Lead-Based Paint Hazard
The action level for LBP established in the LBPPPA amendments in the 1987 Housing Act is a lead content of 1.0 mg/cm2 as measured by an XRF analyzer. Some State and local regulations have set a lower level at 0.5 mg/cm2. Since there is some concern about the reliability of XRF results at these levels, these Guidelines recommend back-up chemical testing utilizing AAS or inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). When using chemical testing, the action level is either 0.5% by weight for 1.0 mg/cm2.
It should be noted that portable XRF analysis and laboratory testing may not provide directly comparable information; XRF results are calibrated to report mass of lead per unit area (area concentration) of a painted surface. AAS and ICP-AES, which report results in either mg/cm2 or weight percent, are bulk sample analysis methods.
