Re: GCF# 09-204
Dear Ms. Handrahan and Attorney Waxman:
Please be advised that on September 14, 2009, a Grievance Commission panel reviewed thecomplaint in the above matter and issued its decision which I received today.
Based upon that review, the panel found probable cause to believe that Attorney Michael J.Waxman had engaged in misconduct subject to sanction under the Maine Bar Rules for whichappropriate discipline should be sought under those Rules.
Accordingly, pursuant to Maine Bar Rule 7.l(d)(5), the office of Bar Counsel will prepare andpresent a formal petition for disciplinary proceedings before a different panel of the GrievanceCommission. Those proceedings shall take place pursuant to Bar Rule 7.1(e). At a later date; you willreceive advance notice of the time and place of hearing.
Thank you.
