PORTLAND – A Rumford lawyer who is spearheading a referendum to bring a casino to Oxford County is the subject of a disciplinary hearing by a panel looking into allegations of misconduct.

Complaints filed by other lawyers and a judge against Seth Carey allege that he approached clients of other lawyers to speak with them about their cases.

The disciplinary hearing is being held before a grievance commission appointed by the Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar. The panel typically issues decisions two to three weeks after a hearing.

Carey’s group, Evergreen Mountain Enterprises, wants to operate a casino in western Maine. Mainers will vote on his proposal in November.
