Premier defense attorney Charles Jerome Ware is Maryland-based, nationally-recognized and respected, and ranked by his many satisfied landlord clients as well as his legal peers as one of the top lead paint and lead poisoning defense attorneys in the United States. For an initial courtesy consultation, contact defense attorney Charles Ware and his colleagues at (410) 720-6129. They can help you.
Development of the lead paint defense begins when the landowner or landlord purchases the pre-1978 built 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.
At a minimum, the following are documents that the landlord should maintain for each tenant and each rental property, among others :
1. Tenant file or folder;
2. Records of tenant and government complaints;
3. Property repair records;
4. Maintenance records (including painting and sheetrocking);
5. Names of companies and vendors (workers, etc.);
6. Names of any entities retained to insure compliance with federal, state, or local law;
7. Names of persons responsible for repair and maintenance of the rental units; and
8. Lead abatement records.

For numerous reasons, contrary to popular myth, personal injury is definitely not an area of the law that is suited for self-representation.
There are many different kinds of personal injury cases, including automobile accidents, medical malpractice, product liability, slip-and-falls, and other instances of body-injury negligence. Each type of personal injury case requires different skills and expertise for success. These cases can be very difficult. Four points for the layman to remember about personal injury cases are as follows : (1) there are no forms or self-help programs to guide the layman in pursuing his or her personal injury case; (2) You will need expert witnesses in most cases, and evidence in every case; (3) You will need to understand and use the "discovery" process; and (4) Your case is likely to settle without a court hearing.
Personal injury cases are part of the larger law of torts. The terms "personal injury" mean an injury to your body or mind. A "tort" means a wrongful action that injures a person, for which the injured persona may receive monetary compensation from the person who committed the wrongful action. Torts may result from intentional or negligent actions.
"Negligence" is an action that accidentally injures someone. In a negligence case, the plaintiff claims that the defendant did not do something that he or she should have done. To make a claim for negligence, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant breached a duty of care owed to the defendant causing injury to the plaintiff.
In all personal injury claims, you are limited by the "statute of limitations." The "statute of limitations" is the law that limits the amount of time you have to file a legal case against another person.

HO. CO. MARYLAND RESIDENT D. C. DUI & DWI DEFENSE : "BEST 10" DUI/DWI ATTORNEY CHARLES WARE
www.charlesjeromeware.com "Here to make a Difference."
Premier defense attorney Charles Ware is Howard County, Maryland-based, nationally -known and respected, and ranked by his many satisfied clients, his legal peers, as well as several national legal organizations as one of the top drunk driving defense attorneys in the United States . For an initial courtesy consultation, contact Attorney Charles Ware at (410) 720-6129. He can help you when you are charged and arrested in Washington, D. C. or Maryland for drunk driving.
The Washington, D. C. DUI and DWI Judicial Process
(1) The first court appearance following a drunk driving (DUI and/or DWI) arrest in Washington, District of Columbia is the ARRAIGNMENT. At this hearing, DUI and DWI defendants will appear before a magistrate judge (usually) who will formally read the charges that have been filed against the defendant (unless the reading is waived by the defendant). The defendant will be asked by the judge to enter a plea of "not guilty" or "guilty" of the offenses charged. If the defendant enters a plea of guilty at the arraignment, the judge will impose a sentence upon him or her. If a plea of not guilty is entered by the defendant, the case will be set for a pre-trial hearing or a trial.
(2) At the Pre-Trial Hearing. the defendant or his/her attorney as well as the prosecution will go before the judge (court) to update the judge on the status of the case. Issues with discovery (evidence gathering) and scheduling will be resolved, if necessary. A pre-trial conference may take place, during which the defense attorney and the prosecutor may attempt to negotiate a plea agreement. If a plea agreement is reached, the terms will be entered in court on the record. If no agreement develops, the case will be scheduled for trial and proceed to that date.
(3) The defense as well as the prosecution may litigate motions in between pre-trial and the trial.
(4) DUI and DWI defendants in Washington, D.C., as in Maryland and about all other states I am aware of, have aright to choose between a bench trial (the judge decides guilt or innocence) or a jury trial ( who must decide unanimously on guilt or innocence). Depending upon whether the defendant is found guilty, sentencing follows. If found innocent, all charges against the defendant will be dismissed immediately,
(5) Following a guilty verdict, the DUI or DWI defendant is entitled to request an appeal froma higher court for a review of the lower court's decision. Appeals must be made timely, or the right to appeal will be considered waived.
(6) First-time drunk driving offenders may be eligible for a pre-trial diversion. Defendants with prior DUI/DWI convictions, those who refused chemical testing or had a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.12 or higher and persons involved in an accident are ineligible for the program. In exchange for giving up the right to a trial and the agreement to attend drunk driving classes, the prosecutor will agree to dismiss the charges.
