FWIW, several Pb paint inspectors in addition to a few builders from the time with whom I've spoken all stated that no Pb paint was used in Columbia at the time of its construction.

The dangers were known by then (1967-8) and new construction just went with the Pb-free alternatives that already existed at that time.

I'd still be careful and get testing done, of course, but I'd be far more concerned with Aluminum wiring than Pb paint.

Think of it this way... there are only 2 ways out of a marriage: death or divorce. Your rights and your concerns in each scenario are wildly different. Attorneys who only practice in one area or the other are likely to gloss over the parts that they don't know that well or act like they won't impact you much, but you'll be better served by someone who gives you full guidance in either scenario.
