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.

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.
