Attorney Donald Slayton of Eugene, OR; serial offender

The state of Oregon provided Donald R. Slayton with a law license in 1986 after he graduated from Willamette University Law School.

The Oregon State Bar found Donnie guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to keep client informed of status of legal matter
• Failed to cooperate with ethics investigators (Up yours, said Donnie!)
• Failed to respond to client phone calls
• Failed to notify client of intent to withdraw
• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Negligent in duty owed to client
• Caused client to suffer actual injuries

As one would suspect, this wan’t Donnie’s First bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree. He previously received a complimentary reprimand, a complimentary 60-day suspension of his law license and a complimentary admonition for engaging in a variety of misconduct.

As a consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Oregon Supreme Court punished Donnie by gifting him with a complimentary stayed 120-day suspension of his law license.

In truth, the comedians sitting on the Oregon Supreme Court didn’t mete out any meaningful punishment to Donnie.

As we speak (ca. June 2015) Donnie practices at 142 West 8^th Avenue in Eugene, Oregon.
