John Elkington's Attorney is WHO?

 

Memphis developer John Elkington is not lacking in funds. In fact, most of us in the Shoals would call the man behind Inspiration Landing "rich." 

While much of his legal representation may practice in Tennessee, surely he has some highfalutin attorneys in Alabama...somewhere. So when Elkington answered a lawsuit filed by Carl Raft of Memphis, we were surprised his legal representation was listed as James Leslie Tassin of Tuscumbia.

Lawyer.com lists Tassin as in "general practice." The image at the top of this blog stands in for an actual photo of Tassin, and he apparently has no website. 

Perhaps even more odd is that John Elkington isn't using a Sheffield-based attorney. Doesn't anyone in the City on the Bluff still believe in Elkington and his Inspiration Landing?
