Celebrity entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary has reportedly hired famed defence lawyer Brian Greenspan to handle his case, the New York Post reports.

O’Leary’s boat was involved in an Aug. 24 crash on Lake Joseph in Muskoka that left two people dead.

Killed were Uxbridge mother-of-three Suzana Brito, 48, and retired Florida accountant Gary Poltash, 64, who has two grown children.

If O’Leary has hired Greenspan, it marks a turnaround from comments made by another legal eagle hired by the brash businessman.

Lawyer Joseph Groia, who represents O’Leary in general matters, told the Globe and Mail, “In my judgment, Kevin doesn’t need a lawyer.”

Now, according to the Post, O’Leary has turned to Greenspan as apparent inconsistencies arose last week over his earlier comments regarding the crash.

Greenspan is one of the best lawyers in the country and has defended — or represented — some of Canada’s best-known celebrities.

He defended pop star Justin Bieber after he was accused of punching an Uber driver in Toronto. The charges were later dropped.

Others Greenspan has represented include supermodel slugger Naomi Campbell and Cathy Evelyn Smith, who was implicated in the speedball — a combination of cocaine and heroin — death of comic superstar John Belushi in 1982.

More recently, Greenspan has represented the interests of murdered billionaire Barry Sherman and his wife, Honey.

Initially, O’Leary said in a statement that the other boat involved in the crash didn’t have its navigational lights on and “fled” the scene.

But an OPP spokesman said both boats left, with the vessel with the critically injured seeking medical help.

And TMZ reported that the larger vessel did, in fact, have its navigational lights on.

Meanwhile, sources in Muskoka told the Toronto Sun that the OPP has video footage from at least one local cottage in their possession.

What the footage reveals is not known. Earlier, O’Leary claimed video would back his version of events.
