Prominent Nashville attorney, reportedly the lawyer representing country music singer Jason Aldean and the Route 91 music festival involved in the October 1 Las Vegas shooting, Orville Almon Jr., has passed away unexpectedly at the age of 66. As Music Row reports, Orville Almon Jr. opened Almon Law, a private practice, in 2010 and spent his time legally representing the entertainment industry and various musicians during their "battles with the law."
Prior to his unexpected and seemingly untimely death, Orville Almon Jr. had reportedly been involved in negotiating with record companies and drafting "issue-specific" agreements, as well as book deals.
As Your News Wire reports, Almon Jr. used his practice to negotiate with law enforcement and was even renowned for that accomplishment, but the Jason Aldean lawyer apparently had some serious issues and even strain when doing so in connection with the Las Vegas shooting. In social media posts, the lawyer called his interactions and interviews with the FBI, MGM, and Las Vegas Police Department "incredibly strange and complex." While the now-deceased Almon Jr.'s posts have recently been made private, it is widely known that he was privy to so-called "inside information," and that many departments involved in the Las Vegas shooting investigation have ceased both holding press conferences and speaking to the public about the ongoing investigation into the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
